    @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

    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! 🚇

    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.

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)

    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.
