Wow this city is beautiful. Mexico is looking like the gem of the Americas these days.

@Google User Mexico's strength as a tourist attraction is its variety, there are few countries in the world with the amount of interesting places and history that Mexico has. In none of the countries you mention do you find something that you cannot see in Mexico

Yup. Verging on creepy.
At 2:16 the guide was explaining the legend of "Lover's Alley," where a couple would meet in close-facing balconies against the wishes of their parents.

The more I watch your videos, the more I'm in danger of believing the world is beautiful.
This city is like a painted canvas. It's so colourful 👌👌👌
I need to go to Mexico again
Cool city, 7:15 even death seems like a nice fellow.
It's such A beautiful town! And You are so Good to explain ! You are The Best !!!☝️☝️☝️
At 2:00 is the story of "el callejon del beso," or the alleys kiss. Is the story of the death of two forbidden lovers.
Mexico's so colourful and interesting 🌏👌💕
How stunning and that street art....wow....such talent!
This is my fav Mexican city too! Just from the videos though, I have never been to Mexico. I think this city is built for someone like Gabe. With his love of walking, he is the perfect person to walk up all these steep hills!
1:53 ✨🤩𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚!🤩✨.
Such a clean and colourful city. You have the energy to go up and down in high altitude low oxygen city. Your sense of direction is amazing. The wall art/graffiti deserves some medals.
Next time I tune in, I’ll make sure to grab a glass of homemade Horchata instead of popcorn! I was there last year. The highlight of my trip was the “Alhóndiga de Granaditas” museum, the funicular ride, a small coffee shop called Cafe Conquistador, eating pasties (similar to empanadas), Teatro Juarez, and a FESTIVE walking street tour led by los estudiantes de Cervantine. I felt like I was in a musical! Thank you for the fantastic tour! 🚇
11:18 thats a xoloizcuintle, not a chupacabras.

What's the deal with some Americans thinking that the Chupacabras is supposed to look like a Xoloitzcuintle anyway? It was always portrayed like an alien-like creature. Only Dexter's lab got it right.
thank-you so much for taking the time to film and upload ....really great to see you still travelling and staying healthy ......are you planning on returning to the usa any time soon ?
Thank you for helping me travel through the city of Guanajuato ! 👍🍺
I’ve seen many U-Tube blogs for Guanajuato but yours by far is the best. I really got sense of what the city is like. Others say it is one of top cities in Mexico to visit but you showed why. I also enjoy your other videos, keep up the good work.
Guanajuato is beautiful. Thanks Gabriel!
When I was 6 I visited this city and all I remember were the tunnels, the mummy museum(scary for a kid haha) and looking down at the town from up above(it was beautiful). I am 33 now and would definitely go back and visit. Thanks for this upload my man. Cheers from Tucson, AZ.
You make every town and city appear so fascinating. Always waiting for your next video.
HappyThanksgiving , Gabriel...🙏🙏 you re so lucky to go on traveling, while Europe is going through crazy times, with this second wave... Mexico looks grate.. Best greetings from Paris 👋👋
Bravo Gabriel, beautiful town, so colourful and quaint, loved the views from the top too, thanks for making the hike to share with us. 🇲🇽❤️
Love the Scenery here!
Hey Gabriel HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Excited to see what beach you end up at, keep following where its warm as long as you can
They're talking about "The Lovers Balconies" It was a sort of "Romeo & Juliet's" story.
Great video...Guanajuato is such a lovely city
Happy thanksgiving Gabe ! Those steps make me breathe hard just looking at them
Hi Gabriel. Keep traveling brother!
Loved your music selection in this video!
A blessed good day sir Gabe Wowwww what a beautiful and nice Guanajuato Place in Mexico Nice to walk around the Alley and streets and beautiful People of Mexico, 😍😍❤️❤️💖💖💕💕💕 thank u so much sir Gabe for your nice excellent Walk around tour keep safe Godbless from your solid fan Supporter viewer from The Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 🙏🙏👏👏👏🙂🙂🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Love GTO. Epic walking tour Gabriel. 🌴
Great show Gabriel... Interesting and informative also.. You sure get where you want to go.... Energy and a good eye.
Thanks for all the advice, Gabriel. Gratitude, bro.
That's the Guanajuato kissing alley. It is not a religious thing. Romantic narrow sloping lane with its own Romeo & Juliet love story, popular with kissing couples.
Guanajuato has the best menudo or "pancita" as they call it. I ate pancita in the market and heard on the radio of Selena's passing. Very memorable day.
Great gaberial , keep exploring
Amazing places.
Nice capturing the pigeon flying low...cool! Very good footage Gabriel and nice music
You did an amazing job exploring and describing this place!! I feel like I know can check it off my bucket list!!?!?
Dope Editing skills man 🤟
Watching your video of this city, I think I will travel there in February. I hope the weather is warm and not cold there.

It will be pretty chilly in February, especially at night. It's at 6,600 feet so it can get cold, but probably not bad during the day if it's sunny.
Wonderful video of this enchanting place. Keep up your labor of love=travel and stay safe..Happy Thanksgiving to you...actually, every day is a thanksgiving along the winding roads...may you always be freedom.
Very..very..Incredible area!..waow!👍
lovely colourful city
Wooow es una ciudad muy linda. Gracias por mostrarla!!! ☀️🌞🙏🤗🌼
That looks sooo amazing, feels like jumping on the plain right away and flying there. Remides Naples a bit too 😊
Struggle art with death are nice art in the wall very meaningful and inspiring 🙄❤️ but the drink that you get it ! It’s so energized 👍🏼
He was a tour guide telling stories about the city. Something that Japanese in that location. I believe it was a love story
Thanks Always Enjoy Mexico

Hey man, super inspirational video, I want to go there now. Can I ask your opinion on travelling during the pandemic? I'm sure you've been asked a lot already. Maybe it could be it's own video? Keep up the great content! Cheer

Interesting City...A must

Seventh. Happy Thanksgiving.
That man is explaining El Callejon Del beso. Been there many times. It's a legend.of a couple who were neighbors. Their family wouldn't let them marry so they'd make out at the balcony lol
Hi Gabe 👍🏻. When at the beginning of your video you don't know if it is a religious gathering or something else, it's the famous Kissing 💋 Alley (Callejon Del Beso) where couples go to get a picture 🖼️ taken as they kiss each other. There's a story behind it of a young couple, the daughter of a wealthy man and a miner, who are forbidden to see each other by the woman's father. The couple's life ended in tragedy. The mummies you see here and there is because of the mummy museum. Another way of showing Guanajuato 🇲🇽 to the world.
Thank you for sharing this video. This is my birthplace and I hope one day to be able to visit 🙌🏼 Safe travels from California 😊
Bro, you fully covered this city! Dogs barking all hours at night would be problem for a light sleeper like me.
You walked right by the hotel I'm staying at in a couple of weeks! El Meson de la Poetas! You're by far the best travel blogger Gabriel. Awesome music as always.
Happy Thanksgiving Bro 🦃🍗🦃🍗🦃

Can’t wait for January to travel to Guanajuato! Was considering postponing due to Co-vid, not now after watching your video!
Great episode
Not first, but you still saw it! Keep it up Gabe.
The people that were gathered were taking a tour of callejón del beso I believe. Famous story of two lovers.
Yay thats where i came from
Very nice Mr M. Your forecast is in the 80's daytime & in the 50's evenings. That just excellent for November I'd say. I'm seeing why you might choose to stay in this place. Thx 4 the views, btw.

That is a lot warmer than I thought it would be at 6600 ft. Much higher than Denver.
I'm happy your back to Mexico, and In one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico too. My brother who study to be a priest there, says there are mummies and a museum called: El Museo de las Momias. Back then there was a cholera pandemic many bodies is said to be bury alive. Interesting story.
your fitness level is amazing!
beautiful Gabe. like I was there....so good ;)
You should try two spots at San Luis Potosi: Huasteca Potosina and Real de catorce. This state is close to Leon Guanajuato. Near there also a great place at the state of Jalisco: Mazamitla and Tapalpa. In the middle of those is Aguascalientes, very small state, but we have about 4 great vineyard's and some have a restaurant and a tour.
great tour , what a beautiful city. good to see you back in Mexico. My guess your going to Oaxaca next ..
You are like a billy goat. I get so tired walking up hills like that in altitude. Incredible stamina.
Love 💘 your vlogs
The street art is beautiful in Guanajuato.
God bless your curiosity
Hi Gabriel, fascinating place so many little side streets with beautiful murals it's truly a charming town. Of course in Mexico they celebrate the day of the dead payer and remembrance of the dead of course a indigenous tradition that co-exit with Catholic beliefs .
Was there July 2019!
Interesting indeed
I really enjoyed your exploration up a narrow alley in search of the Templo de la Merced de Mellado (orange church). Those narrow steep alleys are part of the intrigue of Guanajuato. It seems that the murals have increased since my last visit.
im watching your videos. all are amazing bro.. i wish i could travel too.
I loved the thumbnail
Keeping it real!
Buenas tardes Gabriel..stay safe! :)
Hey Gabe, just wanted to tell you I saw your first series of Guanajuato video's a few weeks before I went on a vacation to Puerto Vallarta. One day on Colomitos beach south of PV I met this family whose daughter lives in Guanajuato. I mentioned I wanted to travel there because of your video. I got her number and now I have a cute Mexican lady friend who I plan to visit once Covid dies down. So thanks for that haha. Also your video series on Puerto Vallarta is my favorites on youtube. PV is my favorite place on earth. Next time you go check out the south end of the bay like Mismaloya and Boca de Tomatlan (and the hike to colomitos and playa las animas)

Hi Gabriel, thanks for the video. I was supposed to travel to Guanajuato this year. But due to travel restriction, I am unable to travel there. Hopefully one day soon.
After your last video of Guanajuato I had a trip booked but cancelled due to Covid and you are back again before I could make it.
I love horchata!
You were at the alley of the kiss!!!! At 1:39. It's a tourist attraction. A legend of Guanajuato. :)

The houses of Guanajuato tumble down the hills that surround it in every imaginable colour. There’s no subtle, complementary colour scheme-fuchsia pink mingles with pillar box red, saffron yellow, baby blue, and lime green. We like the city better for its discordance. Despite its beauty it’s not perfectly restored and retains a gritty realness-it’s a city where people live, work, study, and play, not a museum piece for tourists.
