  • Welcome to Zacatecas, a very special place for us because Zacatecas is where Jenny's Mexican roots are from. Zacatecas is home to many art museums, eye dropping colonial architecture and a very complicated Mexican history.
    Zacatecas City was once Mexico’s biggest battlefield during the Mexican Revolution. La toma de Zacatecas was so tragic it left Zacatecas with half of its population. In a land with so many treasures we take a tour in la Mina del Eden to check and learn about its mining history.
    Did you know Zacatecas is the largest producer of silver in the world?!
    Join us to learn about the complicated Mexican history of this city while enjoying some beautiful views of the colonial architecture and impressive art museums that Zacatecas has to offer.

    Hey you guys! Keep up the great work! I am proud of you! I believe you are one of only a few Americans of Mexican descent that are doing what you are doing! As an American of Mexican descent, it means alot to me. Both of my parents were from Juchipila, Zacatecas. When asked by people where am from, I aways respond from here. (I reside in CA). I tell others my family was here before this was called California and before it was Mexico. We are NOT immigrants, the US Border crossed US. Viva La Raza! 🇲🇽💪❤️🙏🍺

    Awesome video! My mom was born and grew up in Torreon, Coahuila but her parents, my maternal grandparents, are from the state of Zacatecas. Their families have been living in pueblos on the border of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi northeast of the city of Zacatecas since at least the 1790s. My great-grandmother actually lived on her ranch in Zacatecas up until a couple years ago. She had to move here because cartel members threatened to kill her if she didn't give them money. Unfortunately, she passed away a couple months ago. I'm so grateful that I got to meet her. Always happy to learn more about the great state of Zacatecas.

      QDEP tu abuelita 🕊 I'm sorry for your loss, but you're lucky to have met your great-grandmother. My grandmother died when I was 2 and only have pictures as memories. The cartel situation in Zacatecas is pretty bad, sorry to hear she had to leave her home because of that. It's a reason people continue to leave my mom's hometown, too.

    I enjoyed this video. I met my wife in Zacatecas in '94 when I was conducting some systems classes for the then Holiday Inn in Zacatecas. I was there several weeks and I loved the experience--an 'outside museum' as you described. Some hotel employees took my colleague and I dancing at La Mina, and your video is the only photographic memory I've seen of it. My wife was not a hotel employee--since they were my client, my intention was not to go to Mexico and find a wife, obviously.
    My wife worked for Mexicana which had an office downtown, steps from the cathedral, and we met just because she was working there, and I felt comfortable with the way she helped my colleague and I, so I started to tell her about how we were sent out of Washington DC to teach the staff at the Holiday Inn there, and I teased her and told her she was the only beautiful woman I met in Zacatecas who spoke perfect English and how I wish she had been with my colleague and I as a guide during our stay.
    Knowing my colleague and I were flying in two days to Huatulco, my soon to be wife called me the next day and invited me to the Quinta Real and an evening walk thru the city sights, explaining like you the history. We agreed to go out the next day.
    Fast forward to 2023--our daughter, a Masters student in International Studies, turns 23 this year.
    My wife moved with me from Zacatecas first to the Napa Valley, where I was raised, then to Phoenix, where we've lived since she came to the US permanently in '95.
    I am from Chicago and also, as a business traveler, went thru O'Hare often and coincidentally, my wife was in Chicago just two months before I met her in Zacatecas, and I was in Illinois traveling thru Chicago at the same time to work for a Holiday Inn in Springfield.
    So I felt that sooner or later, we were just bound to meet, and we were like and always have been like twins, finishing each other's sentences, I think because of my own Latin (Italian) upbringing, we approach life the same but were just different enough to be interesting to each other.
    Sadly we had to separate when my work, which always made me nomadic, forced me to leave Arizona for two years and we felt her career here was too important for her to give up. But we still meet up, neither one of us ever remarrying, entwined as soulmates because our daughter we share melts our hearts.
    Zacatecas found me, a business traveler with no time for dating, an unexpected chance to marry and become what I always dreamed to be, more important than a career, a Papa.
    Mexicana was kind enough to pay for my air fare so I could visit my wife, flying from California or from a client between business trips, so we became a local legend in Zacatecas and also my home office in Washington DC with our unbelievable, fairy tale story.

    Awesome tour and loved the history about Mexico. Took some classes on Mexican history in grad school, and really enjoyed your video. Do agree on Porfirio Diaz, I think that the Spanish colonialism greatly had influence on many major political decisions to include the generational divides based on race and class. I believe that happened here without a doubt, as porfirio Diaz sought to build the country as a regional power alongside the US. His development and partnerships came at a large cost however, as it did largely benefit the upper class in the country. Even with that, a lot of his business and economic dealings benefitted the United States even more! I could talk about this in detail, but it would use up too much space haah. To summarize, I think of Porfirio Diaz as a product of Spanish Colonialism, mismanagement in a time of constant conflict, and greed. He did however help in building some critical railroads in the country which helped the country develop and grow through commerce.

    I’m so proud of you two
    By the way you made me really sad
    Because I’ve been preparing to get my Mexican citizenship… my grandparents were born in Zacatecas. But you burst my bubble ( but saved me a trip to the consulate)
    Anyway I’m so impressed with you guys
    I love your content. You are so articulate…
    Another side note.
    You should plan to go to our favorite salsa venue… la bodeguita del medio in puerto Vallarta. You’ll love it.
    You guys should visit the salsa venues in Mexico and do videos on each… just a thought.

    Great question about Profirio Diaz! He was a dictator but he did leave behind the Palacio des Bellas Artes. He brought Art and culture to Mexico while ignoring the poor. What was interesting is that when he was finally run out of the country he famously said "You released the tiger, but can you control it?" I think there were maybe 30 years of chaos (war) after he left. Looking at other countries, sometimes dictators or kings can be a good thing. Look at the middle east. Democracy is not for everyone. Look at Haiti or half of the countries in Africa. The problem is not form of government, but corruption. There are good dictators and bad dictators. There are good presidents and bad presidents.

    Great video! Some other places that you can check out while in Zacatecas City are:
    1. La camara oscura as it is the only one of its kind in all of Mexico and most modern in the continent.
    2. Quinta Real Zacatecas, old plaza de toros turned hotel to enjoy the scenery and dine even if you don’t book with them.
    3. Zip lining from el Cerro de la Bufa
    4. La quemada ancient ruins about a 40 minute drive south from the city.
    Hope this helps!

    Didn’t know this was such a lovely historical city with different types of architecture, did I see an Edwardian style house 🏠 in one of the scenes?
    My opinion on Porfirio Diaz, known as a 30 yr. dictator where his Porfiriato was a product of a coup, has always been very negative since he apparently turned Mexico into a land of ‘have and have nots’ by neglecting the lower classes. I also believe he was a Malinchista, there’s that word again, because he seemed to favor foreigners (which he apparently granted land and opportunities throughout northern Mexico) at the expense of the indigenous. His reign consequently led to Mexico’s revolution of 1910, que no?
    Saludos y felicidades con otro chido video 🇲🇽✌️👍

    • @EatBailaTravel
      @EatBailaTravel  2 года назад +4

      yep, he sold a lot of land to foreign investors. Foreign investors enslaved many natives and lower class people to work on the very land that was stolen from them. I would call him a dictator for sure, for the simple fact that he didn't allow any opposition to run against him until Francisco Madero in 1910. Madero rose up as a presidential candidate as a moderate advocate for the lower class. Porfirio had Madero locked up on the day before elections and somehow won by 98% of the vote (yet, Madero had a huge following of thousands throughout mexico). Madero called for a revolution, Porfirio eventually stepped down, re-elections were held and Madero this time won by a landslide. But Madero was eventually killed by a general who was pro-Porfirio: Victoriano Huerta, who then made himself president. From there the revolution continued to escalate with Porfiristas wanting to stay in power (even though Porfirio himself had already left Mexico) vs Maderistas wanting to restore democracy with reparations for the lower class and native populations. Enter Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, and Venustiano Carranza..... and further instability with corrupt leader after corrupt leader. :D super interesting stuff!

    It looks like a really neat place. I lived in Queretaro for a year a long time ago and am pretty familiar with that area and San Luis and Leon, but I never got as far as Zacatecas. It looks like Guanajuato at first glance, but different and neater in a lot of ways. (The music is hard on my ears, though, sorry, not my style!) A lady who is from Zacatecas was telling us about it today, here at panaderia in San Diego. She looked white and had blue eyes, so I asked her if she was Mexican and she said yes, so we guessed she's from Guadalajara, but she said no, from Zacatecas, and started telling us all about it. Looks amazing, can't believe I haven't been there!

      Zacatecas state is a beautiful place but it’s had bad reputation in the last 20 years due to high crime. The city of Zacatecas is beautiful and it feels like you time travel to the Mexican revolution. We highly suggest visiting Zacatecas City but definitely avoid Fresnillo. The music is part of our culture and growing up with it helps grow with you. We understand because it’s the same way with country music for us. Hopefully someday you get the opportunity to visit Zacatecas! Saludos Spencer we wish you a happy new year!
