It's been good to be back! The next one is very different in that it's over the east side near airport but it's to show the industrial side and really that every city has an industrial side, it's just Torreon just seems to be associated with it more so people think it's 'ugly'!
I think the reason that you are treated like a local is because you actually take the time to show that you care about the place. I'm considering moving to Paris, and it's amazing how many English-speaking "expats" there are who know nothing about French culture, politics, history, sports, etc. Now, I'm not saying that someone needs to know all of that, but it does show that you have interest in the place besides just "living a better lifestyle". I think you have taken the time to actually understand Mexico, and I think that's what people respect.
Great insight Mr! I know what you mean, I feel like that about moving to Poland, honestly at the present moment in time I'm not well-equipped in terms of Polish history and language, but assuming I move there, learning more is top of my agenda. It makes such a difference. Astronomical. For the life of me I cannot understand why someone would move somewhere simply to benefit in some way without making an effort to integrate!
Yes tht si what i respect from this material, his empathy with the place...the people nd lifestyle....i do appreciate the way he looks our place and how he shows it all the world...
David, Torreón es una ciudad con gente noble, amigable y muy cálida, tuve el privilegio de vivir ahí por alrededor de 17 años, soy originario de la CDMX, ahora tengo 12 años viviendo en Chihuahua , Chihuahua, me da mucho gusto que disfrutes de la Región Lagunera la llevas en tu corazón, quien sabe si el destino algún día te traiga a vivir a México, aunque tus planes son POLONIA, pero de cualquier forma gracias por el amor que le tienes a nuestro País. Dios te Bendiga.....
Siendo sincera, la vida en Torreón no es fácil, pero cuando lo necesitamos, nos apoyamos entre todos, el que quiera visitarnos siempre es bienvenido, me encanta que hables de Torreón, muchísima gente la ignora y tiene una gran historia que contar
Torreón, tierra de los grandes esfuerzos! Gómez Palacio, el corazón industrial de la laguna Lerdo ciudad jardín, Matamoros, Francisco Madero, San Pedro de las Colonias... Toda la Comarca Lagunera es bella! siempre serás bienvenido a este lugar David. 👋
Thanks Amigo David for showing our city, you are now one of us, I like your videos because you like the city not for turístic sites here, but because you like the people , the essence and for me is brilliantl. A lot of people don't like cities like Torreón but they don't know who we are, what we do. I really appreciate you, thanks for coming again. You are a beautiful person and don't forget you are now one of us 👍🏻🙂🙂💛
Gracias Alberto! I think if I'd come here 6 years ago I would be more focused on tourist sites but as I said in this video that's just not what I want anymore (it ties in with me moving back to Europe and not travelling anymore). I think the magic of Torreón and the fact it's not seen as a 'tourist city' is that you can come here for a normal life, but also discover the tourist aspect at the same time, unlike Guanajuato for example where I feel even if I lived there, there would still be this tourist aspect, especially as a foreigner. I feel like Torreón gives you the opportunity to be a local. I'm really going to miss it when I leave!
Ver esto es muy bonito para mí ya que soy originaria de torreón 💜. Y ver qué demuestras de esta manera mi hogar es muy bonito ya que no muchos turistas vienen tanto por aquí pero verte a ti disfrutarlo hace que se me llene el corazón de alegría. Gracias por mostrar la ciudad a más personas.
I guess the best feeling about going somewhere is being treated like a local and feeling like a local. The experience is very different and more relaxed. You are doing justice to Torreon and the northern part of México without the sensationalism portrayed everywhere else! Great job like always! Hasta la próxima!✌
Totally very different! I think this is why I'm not a big fan of tourist places! There are no awkward moments here where people feel the need to try and speak English with me, it's not necessary. ESPANOL SIEMPRE!
Oh I love you DAVID! Thank you so much for these videos of Torreón! I miss it so much. This is where I am from. And I know, that if you moved here permanently, people would love to adopt you! Haha. Hugs and blessings! I can't wait for your next video and I know what you were talking about :)
We went to Mazatlán in June when we knew that there would be no snow birds in town and that most of the tourists would be Mexican nationals. One happy consequence was that we met several very friendly nationals - including a very nice young couple from Torreon who, like us, were celebrating their anniversary. (Their English was much better than our Spanish - she had lived in the USA at one point and he worked for a USA call centre). I might have mentioned this before - but when I told them that I knew about Torreon because of your videos last year - they said that they had seen them. So congrats on your celeb status - you deserve it for all the images and information you have shared about areas of Mexico that do not attract influencer attention. I am waiting for you to be adopted as a local, throw out your EU passport and move in with a nice abuela, a mexidog and two cats.
It took me about 10 minutes to realise what you meant by snowbirds. It's been a long week LOL. That EU passport is being protected like a beautiful fluffy angel!
Ricardo Montaban claim to fame was the spoke man for Chrysler advertising the Luxury car Cordoba , which was a great fit with his looks and accent. Being in many movies , his advertising put him front stage. To bad you did not become an spokes person for Tourism in Mexico . Thanks David.
Really interesting. I know what you mean about his look fitting with the luxury brand! I'm glad one of my viewers informed me about his house, I had no idea! Always been a Star Trek fan!
Hi I am from Torreón and it is kin of weird seeing someone liking my city this much, also kind of encouraging because my tesis is about hospitality and tourism in Torreón so yea thanks for this
That's awesome about the thesis! I know how you feel, I feel the same when someone goes to London and loves it JAJA. I guess when we grow up or live somewhere we know the bad points as well as the good. It's kind of how I feel about Mexico City now after spending so much time there. I mean it's great for a short visit but I definitely couldn't live there. I'm not at that stage with Torreón yet!
Great City ! It is where we stayed during our 17 days visit to Family (who live there) We must have just missed each other ! (we left 1 week ago) I recommend Mexiquillo Durango state), El Pueblito (yes, there's a village called that), Dunas de Bilbao, Saltillo, Bermejillo and El Salto. There's so much to see where the (regular foreign) tourist doesn't come ! And perhapt Parras (oldest wineries in Mexico)
Yes! Parras and Viesca are upcoming videos! Mexiquillo - I stayed in that tiny village with homemade chilaquiles! There's a video there from last year as well as a couple from around Durango... really cool place! I agree, I've always found this part of Mexico full of so much to do and plenty of variety that only we know about apparently lol
@@davidostrowski679 Viesca, with just outside of town the beautiful Botanic Gardens (a project of the U of Torreon) Great foor in Viesca as well (some of the best Corditas I've had, just a few house to the right of the Municipal building)
I love you videos mate, i havent been in my home town(torreon) since 2014 and i miss it so much, and your videos help me to remember my lovely city, plus help me to show other people about where i come from. Thank you
@@davidostrowski679 hola hola, hoy iba con mi esposa por el estadio de la revolución aproximadamente a las 12 pm y te vi grabando, saludos y bendiciones
Buen día gracias por visitar nuestro estado y mi querido Torreón, hay mucho que recorrer, la gente es servicial y su comida no se diga, tenemos de todo y que bueno que nuestro estado sea recorrido y conocido por mucha gente del mundo, saludos y bendiciones para ti.
David bienvenido otra vez a nuestra querida ciudad de Torreón ví tu vídeo cuando contaste que te decian que aquí no había nada que ver qué bueno que no hiciste caso ojalá y te encuentre para saludarte y decirte que mi casa es tu casa saludos David 😀🤝
Remarkable presentation here David, the iconic buildings, the food, how the community celebrates with music and art. It was interesting to see Andean music played in Torreon and that you have become a recognized local. Pretty neat museums and teleferico, awesome place ,that mountain, with ample views of the big plain where Torreon is located. And again you a veteran of walking in the heat in the middle of the day, the regular experience of the mexican.
Thanks man as always. I'm not even joking when there really is so much to do in Torreón which you wouldn't expect. I'm glad I've been able to spend a lot of time here. Getting to know people and particularly my Español listening improving has really helped. In the museum I couldn't always speak well but I pretty much understood everything. 4 years ago = no chance!
@@davidostrowski679 That is what surprised me, it is a lot to do, you are getting off the beaten path of the pueblo magico tourism and showing that one can have fun in the north of Mexico.
I was in Parque Urbano a few days ago! I had some tacos and lonches from a place someone recommended yesterday, Taqueria Güero! There really is a lot to see and do in Torreón. My time has gone so quickly here but I still have 4 videos to come from the region!
THIS IS MY HOME!!!! ♥️ My mom was born & raised here. I spent most of my childhood summers in Torreón. These are core memories I hold close to my heart. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your appreciation to this city!♥️
torreon es Genial! he visitado la ciudad un par de veces y si me gusta! seguimos tus viajes David! Saludos!! yo me subi en este tren desde que paseaste por chihuahua!!! y aqui seguimos!!!
I didn't see that scorpion the last time! Reminded me of that time I ate one lol. The railway museum was so good. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of museums but they really go over and above and it was good Español listening practice. Bloody brilliant xx
Yasss! In the next video there are some amazing gorditas!

David, Torreon's history is very interesting, as I'm pretty sure you already know. From its beggining, the city was populated by people from all around the world, mexican from north and south, libanese, chinese, european, americans. Also, its common to have people from other places here, like indsutry managers or football players, or inmigrants, so we are very acostumed to people from all around, and as you tell, there aren't too much turists over here, so, all are very well received. Welcome, and I hope you are doing well in this year heat wave.
Thanks Victor! Yes I love the multicultural history! In one of the videos from last year there's a bit at the Teatro Isauro Martinez where the guide tells me about some of that history and after that I went to the mosque. Also the whole think about Chinese and the Canal. Re heat I am very much accustomed to it now especially after 6 weeks in Sonora too jaja infierno
Hi David! It is nice to see you are enduring the summer heath in northern Mexico. BTW... I saw in one of your walking videos a shot of one of the Farmacias Benavides braches. Did you know that the drug chain company is owned by Booths (UK)? They are all over Mexico, specially the North since their base is in Monterrey
David, you are already a Lagunero, mate. Thank you for showing the nicest side of OUR City. Also, you need to go to "Flor de Jimulco" is a Natural reservation, 40 minutes from Gomez
Amazing how much Torreon has changed and what you have learned along the way. In general the people of Mexico are very friendly people and in some cases, once they see you and get to know you, treat you like one of them...Sorry that they don't treat you kindly in Hotel Rio Nazas...lol. Looking forward to seeing more of Torreon and more videos in the surrounding areas David. Stay safe.
oh they were very polite in Hotel Rio Nazas! I was just exaggerating as I always get thrown out of places (not just in Mexico!!). I am leaving Torreon today in real-time but there are 3 more videos to come waiting to be edited!
That was an amazing travel, i like when you visit places and you talk about you feel walking around them, i didn't know torreon has a big Cristo it looks awesome, have a nice day david ✌🏻
I agree 100% with your comment about touristy areas and scams. I think two things happen - first, people just see you as chump to extract money from (whether through time shares, tequila tastings, illegal drugs, etc). Second, the tourists are so rude and obnoxious that the locals treat extranjeros with contempt or at least keep them at arms length. Anyway - Torreon looks great. Thank you for this1
Totally, chumps! That's exactly how we are often seen. You just don't that in Torreon because I think it's more SHOCK that an extranjero would even bother!
10/10 Moved to Torreon about 7 years ago. Definitely fun to go around. Also, I don't remember which days exactly but there are some times where El Bosque turns into this mini fair. There's a lot of food stands, ferris rides, etc. And def recommend going to the Alameda at night, that's when it comes to life.
Yes always very lively at night! Unfortunately nearly impossible to film at that time due to low light and copyrighted music, but I've been out a lot! (no one believes me if its not in a video LOL)
Funny that I just traveled on a train with a steam locomotive last month. in Palestine, Texas. And today, I just walked up Calle Rio Nazas in Cuernavaca to pick up residency card. Got to feed some angels today, also. FYI- In Texas, the name for little dust tornados is dust devils. It is amazing how kind everyone is, even if they enjoy gently poking fun at me. The use of the double entendre is alive and well in Mexico. While getting my residency card, the officer addressed me as caballero rather than senor, because of my attire. que pedo
Angels! Good job on the residency card! I remember dust devils! I did a storm chasing tour in the US 5 years ago (much of it in Texas) and I learnt the difference between a tornado and a land spout, among other things!
@@lionelgomez8125 hace años era muy bonito vivir en esa área hoy no sé , espero que cuando llegue Usted a La. AMPLIACIÓN Los Angeles todo sea agradable. Saludos a la distancia.
@@lionelgomez8125 Yo estuve en Las Margaritas hace seis meses. Es la colonia de a un lado. La verdad no está nada mal, aunque si bien ya es colonia de clase media, se vive muy bien.
Very nice and very insightful video about a city is not mentioned in a rough guide new edition about Mexico, keep that way David and waiting for the next one.
Gracias por vistiar mi lugar de residencia por mas de 12 años! Me gusta mucho cuando te sorprendes por cosas que uno ve a diario aquí, creo que mi hija te vio una vez y espero encontrarte un dia para saludarte!!
David what a wonderful video about my home city, many thanks! You're an awesome person. You know me and my wife lived in Liverpool England for more than 3 years and I must say ..we felt at home! Our children were born there. Regards and God bless!
Hi David! It's a pleasure to find your channel 👏🏻 showing and appreciating my hometown, Torreón. I miss my beautiful city ❤️ I really hope whenever you return you feel at home! Saludos.
I am a Star Trek geek, Khan!!! so glad you showed that, Ricardo Montalban also was famous for the series Fantasy Island, I also love the new series "Strange New Worlds", I don't know how I missed this video on the 7th but thankfully seeing it now.
Thank you for sharing my home place was born in 1982 in torreon Mexico parents migrated 1988 to los angeles California and I live in Arizona now hope to one day go back to visit thanks again I love it
Hay una reserva ecológica en el Ejido La Flor de Jimulco en el municipio de Torreón. Esta a faldas de la sierra, es un lugar muy hermoso que te recomiendo. También lo llaman El Cañón de Jimulco. Y que lindo es que te encante mi Torreón.
I escaped from my city almost 10 years ago because of economic reasons. Back to the 2000's I used to enjoy the the food and play free with the other children. I was happy and i didn't know it. The time runs fast... I Miss my city, but now living in Monterrey and having a better life style, I think that maybe when I get older I can go back and die where I born.
Hola David trate de ver tu vídeo lo más que pude en inglés ya que lo estoy practicando ,pero ame este este clip me gustó y es cierto no tratamos a los turistas como turistas si no como locales de nuestra ciudad, me mucho gusto que siga encontrando videos de mi hermosa comarca lagunera
❤❤❤❤mi hermoso Torreon coah la polvorera y Colonia mijares como te estrano a mi gente mi familia tengo tantas ganas de ir meda alegria que le haiga justa mi ciudad
The opener was top top bro!! Also, I wish I could have been there to watch you on that stage Mz Lawerence. I feel like Mexico is a part of you now whether you like it or not. And while I am with you on corn versus flour tortillas, las Gorditas de harina are BANGING. OH, and nice rrs. xx
I have to be admit, harina has grown on me, particularly with burritos. Gorditas for me must always be corn! SURPRISED. I really miss the beef in Chihuahua xx I thought I'd filmed the falling up the stairs and hitting my head on the pole bit lol
Me alegra saber que este chico Británico tenga muy arraigado a nuestro bello Torreon, como el dice, ya no busca un lugar para turistear si no más bien busca un hogar para quedarse, y creo que el ya se decidio a quedarse a vivir en Torreon, gracias por gran video.
Si vivías en la colonia vencedora nueva aurora o la primero de mayo llegaste a jugar dentro de los vagones del tren en la locomotora cuando estaba frente al monumento de la colon y Galeana jajaja
Hello friend, i really like your content and the way you talk about my home place im really glad about it wish i could meet you some day and give a gift as a "memento" of this place greetings sir you are amazing :D
Hola David, Me gusta el nombre NorMex, muy original de tu parte...Muy poca gente viaja a ciudades como Torreón, Gomez Palacio, Lerdo, Matamoros y Mapimi!! como tu lo hiciste, es extraordinario que un caballero Ingles se atrevió a viajar a estos lugares y no a los lugares turísticos como Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, etc, etc....Eres lo que los Mexicanos llamamos "A todo Dar"...Recuerda que siempre serás Bienvenido a Mexico, especialmente al Triangulo de NorMex.....Saludos y Bendiciones de una Lagunera Torreonense ....Dios te Cuide Siempre...
For future tourists of this beautiful city. I currently live in Torreon and for those who enjoy hiking in the mountains, there is a place called the Torreon Heliport, which is the highest mountain point that can be reached in our region. If you want help to go through it, just contact me, I do not charge you anything.
🇺🇸 I hope you enjoyed the final part of my Torreón trilogy! You can check out the first 2 parts in addition to all the videos from 2021 in Coahuila and Durango! There are more videos to come from the area... did someone say Parras and Mapimí?

Welcome back to Torreón, I hope you are able to visit other sites like Parque Urbano, Plaza del Eco, TSM Stadium, Teatro Nazas.
I was in Parque Urbano a few days ago! I had some tacos and lonches from a place someone recommended yesterday, Taqueria Güero! There really is a lot to see and do in Torreón. My time has gone so quickly here but I still have 4 videos to come from the region!
THIS IS MY HOME!!!! ♥️ My mom was born & raised here. I spent most of my childhood summers in Torreón. These are core memories I hold close to my heart. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your appreciation to this city!♥️
Viva mi torreón carnal saludos gracias por visitar la ciudad 🇲🇽
Gracias carnal! Viva Torreon!
torreon es Genial! he visitado la ciudad un par de veces y si me gusta! seguimos tus viajes David! Saludos!! yo me subi en este tren desde que paseaste por chihuahua!!! y aqui seguimos!!!
¿Te subiste al Chepe? ¡Oh Dios mío!
Wonderful as always.. It is so wonderful how appreciated your work is..and how connected you are..😊.way to go!
thanks maryjoan! Hope you're doing well!
That was fun! Interesting railway museum, and the huge scorpion you saw on your teleferico ride was cool. Very well done as always! 💕
I didn't see that scorpion the last time! Reminded me of that time I ate one lol. The railway museum was so good. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of museums but they really go over and above and it was good Español listening practice. Bloody brilliant xx
Does look like a gorgeous place :)
many would disagree hun x
Greetings friend, Torreón is intersting and beautiful 😍
Great video mate.. you really do shed a light on regions of Mexico I'm sure many people didn't even know about 👍👍🤯
Thanks man, the next one is also in Torreon but over the east side, very industrial and residential! Definitely very few will know about that!
I have been in MANY places in Mexico & USA and I have to agree, Torreon has the tastiest food.
Yasss! In the next video there are some amazing gorditas!
David, Torreon's history is very interesting, as I'm pretty sure you already know. From its beggining, the city was populated by people from all around the world, mexican from north and south, libanese, chinese, european, americans. Also, its common to have people from other places here, like indsutry managers or football players, or inmigrants, so we are very acostumed to people from all around, and as you tell, there aren't too much turists over here, so, all are very well received. Welcome, and I hope you are doing well in this year heat wave.
Thanks Victor! Yes I love the multicultural history! In one of the videos from last year there's a bit at the Teatro Isauro Martinez where the guide tells me about some of that history and after that I went to the mosque. Also the whole think about Chinese and the Canal. Re heat I am very much accustomed to it now especially after 6 weeks in Sonora too jaja infierno
I'm happy to see clear sky with no pollution!
David Gracias s por estos videos de mi Querido Torreón... me hiciste llorar al ver mi Tierra .Suerte en todo lo que hagas .
Hi David! It is nice to see you are enduring the summer heath in northern Mexico. BTW... I saw in one of your walking videos a shot of one of the Farmacias Benavides braches. Did you know that the drug chain company is owned by Booths (UK)? They are all over Mexico, specially the North since their base is in Monterrey
WHAT! Brand new information! Farmacias Guadalajara will always be my favorite!
Welcome back my real “lagunero” buddy!! Enjoy the City and your favorites “gorditas de asado”.
Thanks! Asado! I haven't had any yet!
Asado is "Carne de puerco, papas and chile colorado". You ate this kind of gorditas in your last video in Gomez and here.
Beautiful production and thank you for sharing the experiences with the rest of the world always proud of my roots !!!
Hey my friend regards from Mainz Germany, I'm coming to Torreon next week and have some amazing Gorditas! 👏♥️
David, you are already a Lagunero, mate. Thank you for showing the nicest side of OUR City. Also, you need to go to "Flor de Jimulco" is a Natural reservation, 40 minutes from Gomez
thanks for the recommendation man, I have a busy week over the next week but we'll see. Next videos from Parras and Viesca
Amazing how much Torreon has changed and what you have learned along the way. In general the people of Mexico are very friendly people and in some cases, once they see you and get to know you, treat you like one of them...Sorry that they don't treat you kindly in Hotel Rio Nazas...lol. Looking forward to seeing more of Torreon and more videos in the surrounding areas David. Stay safe.
oh they were very polite in Hotel Rio Nazas! I was just exaggerating as I always get thrown out of places (not just in Mexico!!). I am leaving Torreon today in real-time but there are 3 more videos to come waiting to be edited!
That was an amazing travel, i like when you visit places and you talk about you feel walking around them, i didn't know torreon has a big Cristo it looks awesome, have a nice day david ✌🏻
gracias amigo, yeah I love the Christ! Really impressive!
David! My kids and I were watching your video 😂😂😂 we just saw my sister , nephews and nieces at 9:16 - 9:20 walking in front of you.
Crazy!
Soy laguber gracias x su vicuta a nuestra bella ciudad torreon.coahuila 😊❤🎉
Eres bienvenido a Torreón, siempre que lo desees. 💕
Gracias Denizee!
I agree 100% with your comment about touristy areas and scams. I think two things happen - first, people just see you as chump to extract money from (whether through time shares, tequila tastings, illegal drugs, etc). Second, the tourists are so rude and obnoxious that the locals treat extranjeros with contempt or at least keep them at arms length. Anyway - Torreon looks great. Thank you for this1
Totally, chumps! That's exactly how we are often seen. You just don't that in Torreon because I think it's more SHOCK that an extranjero would even bother!
Hi you have to visit Cuatrocienegas, especially Rio mezquites, poza azul and Las Playitas. Hoping in your next visit You can go to these places!
10/10 Moved to Torreon about 7 years ago. Definitely fun to go around. Also, I don't remember which days exactly but there are some times where El Bosque turns into this mini fair. There's a lot of food stands, ferris rides, etc.
And def recommend going to the Alameda at night, that's when it comes to life.
Yes always very lively at night! Unfortunately nearly impossible to film at that time due to low light and copyrighted music, but I've been out a lot! (no one believes me if its not in a video LOL)
Funny that I just traveled on a train with a steam locomotive last month. in Palestine, Texas. And today, I just walked up Calle Rio Nazas in Cuernavaca to pick up residency card. Got to feed some angels today, also. FYI- In Texas, the name for little dust tornados is dust devils. It is amazing how kind everyone is, even if they enjoy gently poking fun at me. The use of the double entendre is alive and well in Mexico. While getting my residency card, the officer addressed me as caballero rather than senor, because of my attire. que pedo
Angels! Good job on the residency card! I remember dust devils! I did a storm chasing tour in the US 5 years ago (much of it in Texas) and I learnt the difference between a tornado and a land spout, among other things!
David por favor ve a la plaza del ECO está en la Col. AMPLIACIÓN LOS ANGELES. DIVIERTE MUCHO. UN abrazo a la distancia.
Que tal es ese sector de la plaza del eco ? Iré a vivir ahí por trabajo
@@lionelgomez8125 hace años era muy bonito vivir en esa área hoy no sé , espero que cuando llegue Usted a La. AMPLIACIÓN Los Angeles todo sea agradable. Saludos a la distancia.
@@lionelgomez8125 Yo estuve en Las Margaritas hace seis meses. Es la colonia de a un lado. La verdad no está nada mal, aunque si bien ya es colonia de clase media, se vive muy bien.
Fantasy Island!
Yeah!!
I forgot to mention that!
Very nice and very insightful video about a city is not mentioned in a rough guide new edition about Mexico, keep that way David and waiting for the next one.
Me pone la piel chinita ver un video de mi ciudad y la describan de esa manera🤍
Gracias por los comentarios, soy orgullosamente de torreon y siempre los recibimos con los brazos abiertos
I always watch your videos, specially when they are about Torreón, I love the way you describe the city. Blessings my friend.
Gracias por vistiar mi lugar de residencia por mas de 12 años! Me gusta mucho cuando te sorprendes por cosas que uno ve a diario aquí, creo que mi hija te vio una vez y espero encontrarte un dia para saludarte!!
David what a wonderful video about my home city, many thanks! You're an awesome person. You know me and my wife lived in Liverpool England for more than 3 years and I must say ..we felt at home! Our children were born there. Regards and God bless!
Hi David! It's a pleasure to find your channel 👏🏻 showing and appreciating my hometown, Torreón. I miss my beautiful city ❤️ I really hope whenever you return you feel at home! Saludos.
I am a Star Trek geek, Khan!!! so glad you showed that, Ricardo Montalban also was famous for the series Fantasy Island, I also love the new series "Strange New Worlds", I don't know how I missed this video on the 7th but thankfully seeing it now.
I remember Fantasy Island! CLASSIC!
Thank you for sharing my home place was born in 1982 in torreon Mexico parents migrated 1988 to los angeles California and I live in Arizona now hope to one day go back to visit thanks again I love it
Brilliant !
Thanks!
Great job you did , thank you !!
Hay una reserva ecológica en el Ejido La Flor de Jimulco en el municipio de Torreón. Esta a faldas de la sierra, es un lugar muy hermoso que te recomiendo. También lo llaman El Cañón de Jimulco. Y que lindo es que te encante mi Torreón.
Welcome back!!!
I escaped from my city almost 10 years ago because of economic reasons.
Back to the 2000's I used to enjoy the the food and play free with the other children. I was happy and i didn't know it. The time runs fast...
I Miss my city, but now living in Monterrey and having a better life style, I think that maybe when I get older I can go back and die where I born.
Hola David trate de ver tu vídeo lo más que pude en inglés ya que lo estoy practicando ,pero ame este este clip me gustó y es cierto no tratamos a los turistas como turistas si no como locales de nuestra ciudad, me mucho gusto que siga encontrando videos de mi hermosa comarca lagunera
I really like your videos about torreon, I was twice there. And I plan to go there twice this year again.
Que lindo video!!! Linda mi ciudad
❤❤❤❤mi hermoso Torreon coah la polvorera y Colonia mijares como te estrano a mi gente mi familia tengo tantas ganas de ir meda alegria que le haiga justa mi ciudad
Torreón te ama❤️
Cómo extraño a mi torreón 🥀🥀❤️❤️
Bonito mi torreón, gracias por visitar a los laguneros 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gracias por el tour ,!!! De la comarca lagunera!!!👍🥳
The opener was top top bro!! Also, I wish I could have been there to watch you on that stage Mz Lawerence. I feel like Mexico is a part of you now whether you like it or not. And while I am with you on corn versus flour tortillas, las Gorditas de harina are BANGING. OH, and nice rrs. xx
I have to be admit, harina has grown on me, particularly with burritos. Gorditas for me must always be corn! SURPRISED. I really miss the beef in Chihuahua xx
I thought I'd filmed the falling up the stairs and hitting my head on the pole bit lol
Thanks for your video
Me alegra saber que este chico Británico tenga muy arraigado a nuestro bello Torreon, como el dice, ya no busca un lugar para turistear si no más bien busca un hogar para quedarse, y creo que el ya se decidio a quedarse a vivir en Torreon, gracias por gran video.
¡Gracias César! Me gustaría quedarme más tiempo, ¡pero tengo que llegar a Europa a finales de este mes!
primera vez qu veo tus videos y este me encanto no solo por que soy de la ciudad, si no por la forma en que desglosas lo bueno que hay
Soy mexicano esa es mi bandera
Buen dia para ser de torreon
Si vivías en la colonia vencedora nueva aurora o la primero de mayo llegaste a jugar dentro de los vagones del tren en la locomotora cuando estaba frente al monumento de la colon y Galeana jajaja
Great video…as usual…love your videos
Dear David thank you very much, for making such an excepcional of my city I hope the weather treated you well
Your lucky David.Very nice.!!!
Hello friend, i really like your content and the way you talk about my home place im really glad about it wish i could meet you some day and give a gift as a "memento" of this place greetings sir you are amazing :D
Love the travel vids!
Ahuevo mi Torreón querido
Hola David, Me gusta el nombre NorMex, muy original de tu parte...Muy poca gente viaja a ciudades como Torreón, Gomez Palacio, Lerdo, Matamoros y Mapimi!! como tu lo hiciste, es extraordinario que un caballero Ingles se atrevió a viajar a estos lugares y no a los lugares turísticos como Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, etc, etc....Eres lo que los Mexicanos llamamos "A todo Dar"...Recuerda que siempre serás Bienvenido a Mexico, especialmente al Triangulo de NorMex.....Saludos y Bendiciones de una Lagunera Torreonense ....Dios te Cuide Siempre...
I had no idea Ricardo Montalban was from the same city as me you just blew my mind!
I wouldn't have known either if someone hadn't send me a link about it! I think he moved from CDMX to Torreon as a late teen but I could be mistaken
@@davidostrowski679 he moved here in his early childhood I think.
Wow e pasado muchas veces por ahi y nunca imagine que fuera casa de ricardo de montealban
Hermoso.mi Torreón no lo cambio por nada 💁
Mi Torreon es mi Torreon y por eso yo lo quiero 💕💕💕🎶🎶🎶🎤
No será la ciudad más preciosa pero no le pedimos nada a nadie .
Hola soy de Gómez palacio Durango que bien que aigas venido espero verte pronto anuestra ciudad son tres ciudades torreón Gómez Lerdo
¡Si amigo! Grabé videos en Gómez y Lerdo el año pasado!
For future tourists of this beautiful city.
I currently live in Torreon and for those who enjoy hiking in the mountains, there is a place called the Torreon Heliport, which is the highest mountain point that can be reached in our region.
If you want help to go through it, just contact me, I do not charge you anything.
Saludos my friend Thank you for these awesome videos
You're very welcome amigo! Another 4 to come from this region!
Que orgullo ser de Torreón jajajaja
