Hi, I'm a Czech who has been a Mexican national for 18 years. My first time in Mexico was in Morelia, it's a very beautiful and working city. Now I live in another city called Irapuato. I moved here for work reasons but I really recommend Morelia.
Great to hear that , that someone from my part of the world is recommending Morelia .This is better than Cesky Krumlov with too many tourist.... Architecture is amazing .
Que tal la seguridad en Morelia? Es una ciudad bellisima pero esa es la unica duda que tengo. Me ayudaria mucho si te tomaras unos minutitos para escribirme algo al respecto, si no es mucha molestia.
My wife and I relocated to Morelia a year and a half ago. She's Mexican and I'm from Reno, Nevada. It's a magical place! The cost of living, beautiful architecture, cultural offerings are all great. My wife has a lot of family here, so it's helped with the assimilation into the life. We live about 10 minutes from El Centro. We rented a beautiful 3 bdrm/3 bath, 4000 sq ft home. It costs us 8000 pesos monthly ($400 USD). Have seen no crime here yet, no police issues, and have had no problems in mixing with the people. The best move I ever made!
Wow Russell! Would you be interested in doing a video interview with me? To share your experience with my audience? If so, send me an email info@mexicorelocationguide.com
Thank you for this! As someone that grew up in the US and NOW trying to go back to my homeland without having any knowledge of how anything works there THIS helps me out TREMENDOUSLY! Thank you!
Pues claro como que.fueron diseñadas por los mismos arquitectos. Y estas consteucciones se pueden ver en ciudades coloniales como: Morelia, Durango, Puebla, etc.
Morelia era una de las ciudades Mexicanas preferidas de Pepita Embil la mama del famoso cantante de Opera Placido Domingo, exactamente por la razon que mencionas, ella decía que Morelia le recordaba mucho a España. Creo recordar que la mama de Placido tenia una compañia de Sarzuela y recorria Mexico con ella...y Saludos
@@donsilva6452 Nada que ver con las construcciones europeas. Nada que ver una catedral gótica con un montón de piedras amontonadas en una pirámide sin espacios interiores . Vivían desde Alaska a la Patagonia en la edad de piedra. y eso que "llegaron" antes los vikingos 😂🤗
HELLO!! I am watching this from Morelia just in downtown living very close to Ventura puente. Ventura Puente is not that nice at night honestly jajajaj I was surprised she mentioned it for a foreigner. Chapultepec is very nice though. Also, $1000 for a department 2 bedrooms? Whaaaat??? Those are super overpriced. For that money you can find a very nice house with a car garage in a very nice area close to the expensive shops and malls 😬😬😬 I could even find you a NICE house for like 800-900 dlls (18 thousand, 19 thousand pesos a month)
I find that the neighborhood of Ventura Puente is perfectly decent and I don't feel it is sketchy at night. But that's my opinion. Yes there are probably places for rent for far less than what I mentioned. I'm aware of that. These are only some examples :) Thanks for watching!
Your plricing is pretty accurate. We lived in Morelia for 1 year in the Vasco de Quiroga neighborhood. It was our first stop in Mexico. Great area and close to centro.We shopped at Mercado Independencia and for major shopping we went to Costco. The combie service is fantastic. Morelia is amazing. We live in San Luis Potosi now and love it here. -Marc
You are from Denmark? I wonder what attracted to Morelia. 🤔🤔🤔 Oh, I was born in that state by the way, now Im in the USA, but hopefully I can retire in Mexico.
Your "Living in..." series is fantastic. I strongly suggest that if someone is serious about moving to Mexico and greatly reducing stress or mistakes, buy the MRG. I bought it, and it made my rental and residency process virtually pain-free compared to some that I know who decided to do their own thing.
@Mexico relocation guide, Hola Mariana, tienes un buen acento del ingles. I can tell Spanish is your 1st language. I'd like to add that in downtown Morelia, the main avenue, "avenida madero" is closed on sundays so families can ride their bicycles safely. Also, one of the many foods is gaspachos, which consists of mango, pineapple, and jicama mixed & cut in small pieces with orange & lime juices, onion, ground cheese, hot sauce.... very delicious...saludos y que Dios nos bendiga a todos... May God bless all of us....
What a great video of my hometown 😍♥️ super informative and true! Gracias Mariana por decir la verdad, por resaltar una ciudad tan bella y por tener un video claro y conciso de que esperar si vives ahi 😁 What a great channel!!! will keep watching your truthful great videos for sure!!! Keep the hard work Girl! 💪🏽 👏🏼
Great video, thank you, Mariana! I didn't know you are a foodie! Do you think you could live here and eat organic/non spray? Like is the meat grass fed, chickens fed without soy? Thanks for any info! Those dishes you showed us look amazing, and all new to my eyes.
It's very beautiful morelia is not the Real Name is VALLADOLID NUEVA ESPAÑA MICHOACAN y these too Borne the emperor of mexico Agustin of Iturbide Thank you for your video I like
Thank you for your beautiful videos on re- locating to Mexico.Will be checking with you soon , as I am thinking of spending the cold months of winter in Mexico( retired. Health care. worker) from Toronto Canada. Have been to Mexico years ago_ loved it, on a one week vacation.
Talk about timing, I was in Valencia, Spain and one of the ladies talked about eventually moving to Morelia. I don't think I have heard much about it. Thanks for sharing
Whenever I mention Morelia, everyone comments the crime, Numbeo as well, but you and your viewers don't mention it as a problem. Is it dangerous for normal activities?
Everyone who? Numbeo is a crowd sourced page and not the police database. If you’re looking to live anywhere and pick based on what’s considered safe, you could still be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Having said that, Morelia isn’t any more dangerous or safer than any other city. It’s a false sense of security to assume that a place deemed safe means you shouldn’t practice common sense. As you can see from our videos we share with you how living here is like. And of course we only share cities we deem good places to live. 😉 hope this helps
@@MexicoRelocationGuide To an extent. Some cities are safer than others and I wanted to get a feel for Morelia because it looks so beautiful and has a cool climate.
Timely..for just visited....I really my stay..for I may consider revisting..yes I loved Centro...it has many shops at reasonably prices.i appreciate advising rent cost comparison of others and possible area to rent at
Hola Mariana, what a helpful and informative video! I’m thinking of relocating to Morelia from Guanajuato where I currently live. Did I understand correctly that I can find house/apartment rental resources in the comments of this video? I looked and haven’t seen it and would be very interested. Muchas gracias!

Not to be a Debbie-downer, but what about the fact that the state of Michoacan is on the State Departments "Do not travel" Level 4 (worst) warnings? While it's true that Morelia is excluded from the warning, it still means you have to pass into the danger zone whenever leaving the city over land. I'd really like to hear from those expats living there about these concerns ;?)
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Well the State Dept. doesn't designate specific areas other than the entire state of Michoacan with the exception for Morelia proper, so don't know how to avoid the rest if you travel out of town?
If I listened to the state department, I would not have visited Cartagena, Medellin, Mexico City, and many other places as a solo traveler. There is risk in life everyday, everywhere. Learn a few words to be polite, and respectful. Learn a little about the culture, and be humble when you travel. Wala no problems.

Hi, I'm a Czech who has been a Mexican national for 18 years. My first time in Mexico was in Morelia, it's a very beautiful and working city.
Now I live in another city called Irapuato.
I moved here for work reasons but I really recommend Morelia.
I'm very familiar with Irapuato. All of Michoacan is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing
Great to hear that , that someone from my part of the world is recommending Morelia .This is better than Cesky Krumlov with too many tourist.... Architecture is amazing .

Que tal la seguridad en Morelia? Es una ciudad bellisima pero esa es la unica duda que tengo. Me ayudaria mucho si te tomaras unos minutitos para escribirme algo al respecto, si no es mucha molestia.
I absolutely love this place. And then again I absolutely love Mexico.
Me too.

@@MexicoRelocationGuide I replied to your request yesterday.
You shouldn't say the cost. Once people know too many people will come and it won't be cheap anymore.
@@russellbarnes7728 I Hope you do it. Sounds like it would be an informative video after your last comment. Thanks! 🙏🐸
Loved it! So thorough. Morelia is at the top of my list. So beautiful, but still attainable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this! As someone that grew up in the US and NOW trying to go back to my homeland without having any knowledge of how anything works there THIS helps me out TREMENDOUSLY! Thank you!
Glad it’s helpful 😀
"Very affordable ..." That is music to my ears!
Patzcuaro is a nice place for many reasons and certainly the lower cost of living can be one of them
Thanks! Heading that way. 🙏🐸
I want to move from. Connecticut USA to Morelia. Thank you, Marianna!

Increíble como se parecen las construcciones y urbanismo a las de España. 😀🤗🇪🇦

If you're going to live in Morelia, you should probably live in Altozano. It is nicer and safer than all these other neighborhoods.
Thanks for the suggestion
Where is Altozano ? Is it in the city proper or a suburb ? ALSO what is your opinion of the lake Zirhuan area for living ??
Nesecitan mas retaurantes internaionales Italianos france !!!
Is Morelia as great of a place to live as Puebla? Anyone’s thoughts or opinions!! Cost of living and quality of life.
So Morelia or Puebla?
It all depends on which one is the best fit for you 😊

I'm really interested in Morelia...I'm curious if you liked it so much why did you live?
Was a there a specific reason why you left mi Michoacán?
@@angelashaw8392, we knew we wanted to live in other parts of Mexico.
My future home town - and I come from Denmark. Not the US. Morelia and Michoacán are fantastic.

Thank you Theodore! I really appreciate the comment and that you love the MRG. Have a wonderful day amigo
I'm sold on this place. I intend to check it out. Thanks for posting.
I really like Morelia, love centro and Santa Maria looks like a nice older part of the city too.
Another beautiful place to visit, and another excellent video.
Amazing video! I was in Morelia at the beginning of the year. It was a pleasant surprise. I could definitely live there. It would be oh but a dream.
Thanks Teddy! It’s a special place right?
