One of the most beautiful cities of the world's most beautiful country.

I love Guanajuato, Mexico. I went there back in 1980 with a couple of friends in college. My father told me to go there and see how the poor people live. My father is from Marfa, Texas and was brought up during the depression. My friends and I went to Mexico City first and to Guanajuato and the last trip was Guadalajara, Mexico. I just flew back from Guadalajara back in March of 2024. OMG! Guadalajara grew so much. I could not believe all the High-Rise buildings there now. It always had so much Greenery back then and I loved it. I was looking at Condo's and House's there now and they are very Modern and beautiful, and the pools are magnificent. Now I would tell my father what poor people. My Niece went to Guadalajara back in February 2024 with her boyfriend who has family there. That was her first time in Mexico, and she loved it and wants to go back again. I want to buy a Vacation home there soon. Just Magnificent and I live in Los Angeles and very expensive to live for the younger generation. That is why my niece went to Mexico to look at property there.

Thank You soooo much for not using the word "cheap"

I recently was in Prague and was surprised how much the architecture reminded me of Guanajuato. It's very European

Thanks for this informative and inspiring video. And thank you, Ray for your take on things. I just pray that gems like this don’t become Californicated and therefore affordable strictly for the wealthy elite.

I just moved here as well. I couldn't have said it any better than ray! Just know the permanent residency process it's just that, a process the whole thing does not take just a week. Thank you Ray and others for putting together this very informative bit of information! For those of you interested in coming here you will need to know more than just basic Spanish, English is not spoken here widely! Another reason to be here!

Woow lucky man...1200??I can't live in California with 1500...Im moving to Guanajuato ❤😊

I spent a month in Guanajuato for the whole month of October 2021. I loved the city!! I knew no one! Met an expat and his Mexican wife.They were helpful. I would love to go back and stay for a while. I had the best massage therapist!! She came to my airbnb 3 times! Thank you for the video!

Ray you’re awesome. Your attitude about moving to Mexico is spot on. I was just in Guanajuato in April/May and am strongly considering it as a retirement city. Would love to hang out when I go again.

i went to Leon, GTO, SMDA recently; also been to Oaxaca/SCDLC Chiapas... GTO has been my favorite 😍 So charming, the arts, music, plazas, just Wow 🤩

Yo soy mexicano,y vivo en estados unidos desde 1982,y, asta yo, aprendi de este video,muchas gracias sr.gracias por Los consejos y el video.hojala que viva Feliz en GTO.por sirmpre.

I've loved Guanajuato since studying Spanish at the Universidad de Guanajuato there in 1984. The other area of Mexico I am familiar with is the Puerto Vallarta area (San Blas Nay.). I recently received an inheritance of about $225k and receive an income of about $1,050/mo and surviving in the U.S. housing market is now very intimidating and crappy. So of course this video interests me.👍🤙✌️ P.S.:I remember our hotel was called the Casa Kloster and I wonder if it's still there all these decades later.

This is very useful information! I spent a summer in Mexico and Guanajuato was one of our trips. My husband and I are less than 10 years from retirement, and Guanajuato is definitely a place we are thinking about retiring in.

Im also a retired American who has been living in Mexico for many years. I've been renting a 2 bedroom furnished apartment here in Cuernavaca for about $400 USD a month. I've also been to and lived in San Miguel de Allende and Ajijic/Chapala where there's more of an expat population. I grew up in hot humid places in the States and prefer cooler weather. I think Puebla, San Cristobal de Las Casas, would also be great places to visit and live.

Thanks for this, Ray. We were in Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato for a week recently finishing our canje. Guanajuato is a quirky, intriguing place. It’s not the most the “most beautiful” place in Mexico but it seemed to me (after only a few days) to be an intriguing place with a lot of depth. You’re right about the tunnels - such a unique and intriguing aspect along with the hills, steps and alleys. I’d say everyone should see it and explore if it’s right for them.

Both of my parents were from Salvatierra, Guanajuato, and I would love to some day live there, when I retire

Ray certainly has the right attitude about moving to Mexico! It's great that he appreciates the culture, festivals, people, etc, and has learned some Spanish. I'm wondering why his wife didn't join him in his move?

Very cool video, interesting perspectives on relocating to a new land, and Ray's positive approach to assimilating and integrating into his new surroundings is exactly the correct one. If only all travelers (temporary tourists or permanent residents) carried a similar mindset.

This really moved me and I hope to be as inspired and appreciative as Ray when I settle upon a location that is good for me and Mexico.
