First Impressions of Morelia

- We moved on to Morelia...at least for a little while. Morelia is known to be ‘the most Spanish city’ in Mexico and is loved by everyone we know. But it wasn’t love at first sight for us. In this video, we share our first impressions of the city and how they’ve evolved. Enjoy!

Been a subscriber for a while, lovely couple. I've been living in Morelia for two years now. Enjoy your stay Ill be screaming " Yarbros" if I see ya around.
😆 please do...we're loving the city fyi!
lol I know right. lol. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dont forget to check out the aqueducts of morelia, and eat some "Corundas", originally from morelia michoacan! Enchiladas michoacanas too!.. VIVA 🇲🇽!
We're on it...eating it lolz! Those aqueducts are gorgeous!
Caminos de Michoacán y pueblos que voy pasandooooo!!! Enjoy, guys!!! ✌🏽🇺🇸🇲🇽🙋🏽♂️
They're beautiful!
***Welcome***
I got to tell you that I have been to the majority of the states in Mexico. I am only missing 4 states. So far Michoacán is my all time favorite. So much so, that moved my family here this summer...I mean all of Mexico is beautiful but there is something magical about Michoacán. The food. The food is out of this world and so unique. I love everything about living here... Michoacán is beautiful, full of history and culture. I know that Morelia is awesome 😎 and I have spent close to "no time" there. Literally I drove around Morelia to pickup my mother from the Airport this Halloween night. I'm definitely planning on spending some weekends out there.
We're really enjoying our stay!
Hi Po', what is your favorite town, community in Michoacan? Things to do? Tks
@@BPe-ie9je there is a region rightfully called "Meseta Purépecha" better known as Meseta Tarasca.
Uruapan and surrounding areas. The National park in the middle of the city. The Youngest Volcano "El Paricutín". The old town of San Juan ruins and the church poking out of the lava rock. Tingambato and it's pyramid of the moon
The magical town of Pátzcuaro and the Island of Janitzio with the Statue of Morelos standing tall bigger than the statue of Liberty and bigger than Cristo Rendendor in Brazil. Tzintzuntzan and it's pre-Columbian ceremonial yacatas.
Paracho- it's beautiful world famous handmade guitars.
Santa Clara del Cobre- it's beautiful copper art and jewelry.
I mean all the state and towns in it are amazing...but you have limited time I suggest Uruapan and Pátzcuaro. Don't forget to try the food. Few places that you can still eat Native American food with little too no European influence...other than "Carnitas". Michoacán is world famous for its Carnitas which we can thank the Spaniards for introducing swine into the region.
How exciting! It’s all about learning, experiencing and venturing. Love your open and positive attitudes. I am leaving next week for my pre-trip to Queretaro. I am so excited to meet with my Relocation Agent and just embrace the city, the people and the culture of Queretaro. I have a feeling I’m not going to want to come back, but I know I have to so I can wrap things up in the U.S. before I make my final move.
We're excited for you and your big move. Seek, embrace and enjoy!
My family is from Morelia and we have our 2nd home there. I'm excited to discover ex-pats and nomads discovering Morelia, and you guys and many other channels got me thinking of moving out there for a while lol and the neighborhoods vary.. some areas are sketch and some areas are beautiful. It takes some time to get to know where to go and where not to go lol
Wow! New viewer here! Love your non biased content. Viewing mexico from a neutral lens, the bad, the ugly and the hermoso. Used to live in Morelia for college, currently live in a Pueblo near the volcán Paricutín, Mexico’s youngest volcano! Also the ruins of San Juan de las cobijas a village that got covered by lava from the Paricutín. There’s also a national park near, “parque nacional de Uruapan” if you ever want to come and visit, aquí tienen su casa!
Thanks for the sub! - and Okay!
Aww we just missed you .. I was just there with my daughter for Día de muertos. Morelia my favorite city ! Love from Chitown !
It was a wonderful holiday and fantastic to watch the city transform!
I love Morelia and can't wait to return!
We understand!
Wow! The price difference by being open to negotiation. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, really saved our pockets. Dia de Muertos is serious business around here. The price hike is serious!
I’m glad that you finally put out this video! We met you both at the weekly coffee gathering event (Thursday at 10:30am). Looking forward to more videos of Morelia & Michoacán, so much to see…
They're coming... finally 😄
Just found your channel... beautiful people... thanks for taking me to a new place. I never heard of Morelia before. Blessings on you both and safe travels.
Thank you!
Bienvenidos a Morelia! Love that you are making connections, new and old!
Gracias! We are loving making those connections as well!
Guys, you were in the wrong hood, you have to go downtown, and see the cathedral in pink stone, Morelia, is one of the most beautiful cities in mexico.
I recommend visiting Los Azufres about 2 hours from Morelia!
ok
wish we had seen you! We also live in Morelia ...and LOVE it!
Keeping it real. And all the talk of prices is key to getting a sense of the place. 🌴
Talking dollars makes sense when we're talking about 1st Impressions. Thanks for supporting the content.
There are plenty of really great rural areas to explore. Michoacán has lots of crafts and culture.
Yeah, we've been seeing.
This was a very insightful and helpful look at Morelia...You two are great 'advisors' and have a good take on the places you go and people you meet. We watch each video and enjoy them. Gracias Yarbors !
You make good conversations. Informative and practical❤
Exciting! Looking forward to more!
It's coming!
Awesome behind-the-scenes! Keep it coming.
I think we will continue to let the camera roll and see what we can show you guys!
I LOVE your honesty! Keep doin what your doin 👍
I love watching your videos! I appreciate you all sharing your adventures, and sharing Mexico’s diversity and beauty with the world! My mother is from Morelia and I love that city so much. Enjoy! Saludos desde Chicago! 🙂
S/o Chi Thanks for tuning in and watching when we release! We deeply appreciate it and your mom's hometown is 👌🏾
Great video guys! We love Morelia, it’s near and dear to our hearts, it’s honestly one of our favorite cities in Mexico. Morelia convinced us to make the move and do the same thing you guys are doing! Keep living your best lives guys! You are doing it right 🤙
Thanks for the support and for tuning in today! Wishing you safety and many epiphanies in your adventures.
Lol that’s an experience y’all. Good video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yes, it was an interesting way to get started in Morelia😮🙂
This is my hometown ❤️
We like your hometown!
Im glad you guys found your apartment, it doesn't look that bad, but it's sounds more like my Chicago Pilsen neighborhood, and I can't wait to see more of estado de Morelia. Stay safe guys.🤗☕
Can't wait to show you more!
Thank you Guys 😊 great content👍 love you and appreciate you both ❤
Thanks for the Love!
I am glad to hear that you made it in Morelia!
Happy to be here!
Thanks for the insightful video!! Enjoy Morelia 🇲🇽
Sincerely glad you got some value out of it!
The capital city of Morelia, often called “the most Spanish city in Mexico,” is known for its stunning colonial architecture. Many of the city's historic buildings-such as the majestic 600-year-old cathedral-were constructed out of pink quarry stone.
We see why is considered the most Spanish city...
Another great presentation !
Morelia looks like a place to put on the "to see" list. Thanks so much for sharing. You guys are amazingly positive despite some not so positive encounters. See you on your next adventure.
Morelia was really special! Thanks for enjoying the content!
So happy yall are in Morelia !!!….it’s on our top 6 list for a retirement city !
We understand...it really should be. Talked w/ some retirees here and they are beyond happy! Video may be coming soon.
Glad you found a place to land! Enjoy!
Having a blast here!
Y'all are amazing!!!!
I love that city!
Us too!
Very good video. I am excited for y'all fam. 'The turn up spot' tho😂♥
Right! Unexpected but much appreciated after that Airbnb check in.
We went to Morelia for the first time in Mexico last week. I guess that’s why your video popped up. First video I see from you all. Super interested in the apartment as we will return to Morelia next year. We also loved it. We have friends that moved there so we went to help them. Please send info on the good and bad neighborhoods and apartments. Thanks so much.
You guys are amazing. I am flying out tomorrow morning and I can say you both are making take notes.
Safe travels and remember to have fun regardless... and give that gaspacho a try!
Great videos guys. P.s. your faces when describing the first air bnb spot was priceless 🤣🤣. Peace n Love
When we pulled up...I just can't explain the loss we felt...all well that ends well but yeah that was an experience! 😆🤣
Thanks for sharing your beautiful experiences.
Thanks for watching!
loved this lmao throughout the video... thanks for the insights
Really glad you enjoyed it!
GREAT video!
Thank you!
Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love Morelia! It is quite impressive and we owe it another trip! Thank you for shining a spotlight on it. Check out Zacatecas City if you haven't already... Great Video ya'll...so sincere. (cracking up about the Airbnb though - ugh! - glad you rolled into something much better and affordable). Looking forward to what's up next! 🙂
Morelia has really grown on us and I'm glad we're exploring a bit more of it. And definitely thankful to have found a better spot 🤣. We'll add Zacatecas to the list if we head that way!
You guys are the best thanks so much for sharing. Whatever you were eating April looked delicious.. enchilada maybe 🤷🏻♀️
thanks for the great info...viajando a mexico pronto
Our pleasure and safe travels!
I’m from Morelia thank you guys for the positive exposure you guys are awesome i took my wife out there 2019 from the Tate’s
Great video!
Thankz!
was there in august, also went to Uruapan and Apatzingan. Now im back to Montreal
Hope to one day get to meet you guys. Even do I will admit this TJ it's not a clean city; but us a s citizens we try to do our best. I'm sure it's going to be awesome to get to meet you. Saludos from TJ B.C. border city
We're definitely making ournway there to experience TJ!....God willing
For Mexican standards, TJ is an ugly city…but the people and food culture make up for it. It’s one of my favorite cities in MX because of that. ❤️
Morelia and the area around it will become a great destination for retirees.
We think so as well!
Awesome! Maybe, next time you guys can show those apartments that you have seen🥰I'm looking for one...
That sounds like fun! I'll see if we can put something together!
Love that you are enjoying this amazing place! I think you will find even more as you relax and kick back! Sorry about the start of things but as we know the most beautiful Cities in the World have issues! For example PARIS!! I loved visiting Paris but the side streets away from the center can be very scary! You really have to watch your back and learn the language fast to get around... At one point I asked a lady if she spoke English because I had got on the wrong train... She said YES... SO I asked her if I was going to a certain area if i should exit the train at the next stop, she said YES... I did and immediately regretted it... Probably the only English word she knew was "YES" and maybe NO.. LOL But that is TRAVEL right? Love the content you are bringing... Keep it coming!
Yeah, it's all part of the joy of travelling!
I'd love to know where that little Amsterdam spot was. Great content loving your videos.
Bienvenidos a Morelia!
Thank you!
Aww. Really enjoyed Morelia. The cathedral is beautiful, but there is another one with a red interior that is stunning. Santuario de Nuestra Señora Guadalupe. There's a beautiful park in Uruapan that's worth a visit and the town of Quiroga for the best carnitas you will ever have! Patzcuaro is also near Morelia and it's super pretty. I loved Michoacán. Enjoy 😊
Thanks just took a trip to Patzcuaro we'll see what else we can fit in.
@@TheYarbros I have to second the endorsement of the Santuario, the interior is a folk art masterpiece, absolutely world class. For the best view of the interior, don't go when there is a service, although that is another kind of only in Mexico experience!
As a Airbnb host myself I can tell you that hosts agree to a contract forbidding "side bookings." The consequence of getting caught doing that are very serious. The host can be kicked off the platform and all future bookings cancelled without any warning. Hosts also have to agree that Airbnb can do that with no warning and no opportunity to negotiate. This seems to be a common practice in MX but as a US host I never take the chance. I know too many hosts that ended up burned!
I understand but Airbnb is not what it used to be for hosts or guests which is why the risk ends up being worth the reward for alot of hosts. MX, D.R.. and beyond.
@@TheYarbros Watch out for That One. Sounds like she would just LOVE to make trouble for your host.
Guard that lovely person's privacy. (And your own, of course.)
I learned more from y'all in 1/2 an hour than after several days reading post after (yawn) post on SMA's civil site.
Chock full of fearful elderly ex pats comparing vax shots, how best to get to the US border for (3rd) boosters.
Would never dream of interacting. Lurked and learned. ("Ex pat enclaves to avoid like CNN pandemic culture.")
Thanks kindly for the "heads up" in a previous video. Much obliged.
Love & cheers from a very soon to be ex pat Canadian, doing my darndest to pull up stakes and bug out of the current Canadian "Brazil" (1985 film) political climate & even scarier dystopian "government mandates" vibe.
I love Morelia! You have to visit the butterflies 🦋
You also must come back they brought back their cheese/food and wine 🍷
I fly in every two months to visit my grandparents and make sure they get to their dr. Appointments.
Thank you for visiting Morelia! Visit Morelia soon! 💖
They have cool bars and karaoke 🎤 along with clubs that are on top of a hill that over view the city.
We may visit some of those bars on the hill! Thanks!
I loved Morelia when I was there last year. Try the Sopa de Tarasca as soon as you can, and follow it up with pasta flavored ice cream. Two of my new favorites!
Both sound different and I can't wait to give them a try!
Morelia is on my top places to visit radar so was so excited to see how much you both love it! I'm curious as to how you make contact with Airbnb hosts 'outside the website'? I'll go take another look but I didn't see a way to do that on the website. Thanks so much for all of your insights and advice! Love following you guys as you explore Mexico!
Yes, uber cool spot! We ask for a meet up, face to face to view the property and then ask to take it off-line.
awesome. that's where my family is from...my grandpa was born there and moved to tampico as an adult. ive been a couple times. it's beautiful, and cool because it's monochrome kind of..one stone color. also, there are old aqueducts which is awesome.
Yeah, its a pretty city!
Very cool 🧡
Oh my goodness Better
YET ANOTHER.. fabuuuuloso video..!
It made me smile and chuckle AND gave me HOPE that my planned move from Hawai'i to (somewhere in) Mexico 🇲🇽 IS a sensible, progressive move, for MY next chapter, on my World traveling; culture absorbing sojourn.
Once again, THANK YOU for your videos.
🌺 Aloha . . 🙃
Wishing the best for you in your journey and really glad our work speaks to you! 😁
Ya know when the vibes
is just right. 4:20 in the
after noon and relax ;)))
😤😄😆
i have a photo sitting on that bench! 6:20
It is pretty....ig ready!
Hey guys, Morelia is cheap but you arrived at the worst moment, day of the dead, is the only time foreigners goes to Michoacan to visit places. Is better to walk around and see who is renting. Also making questions around helps. The richer area is on the hills but I like the sound to live. North of Morelia is where the poorer areas. Try the local food, is great. Gazpachos, local candies (there is a whole area for that) and tamales.
ok 👌🏾
LOVE MORELIA ❤️
It's beautiful!
I checked out the prices of one of the hotels down there in the historic center it was $43 a night that is dirt cheap
Every day of the year except....during Dia de los Muertos! Price of living is really good there!
You should go to Teatro Mariano Matamoros to watch the play Ánima (and do the tour of the theater exhibition for Día de muertos, it’s really nice).
Sounds nice....
Bruh awesome in Michoacán!
Thank you!
Big difference from Guadalajara. It’s a nice place. I love going there.
😊
ya should visit jiquilpan michoacan magical town,on the nortwest of the state...
Thanks for the tip!
Ya, do not go to Morelia! Cartel country!!!!
Welcome
Gracias!
I'm coming to visit!! Call me yaws long distance cousin...🤗Keep up the content 🥂🎉🥂🎉🥂
We'll be on the lookout! 😄👌🏾😆
GREAT VIDEO BRO GO TO POLANCO SANTA FE HOODS IN MEXICO CITY !! GOD BLESS YA HELLO FROM NORTHERN CHIHUAHUA MEXICO 🇲🇽
Thanks for stopping by!
Can you give a few tips on how you take the AirBnB conversation offline? Key words to throw out? Is this something you can really only do when you're in the town you want to stay in? Thanks!
We just ask if they are interested in talking off-line, tell them we're in town and would like to view the property in Airbnbs chat. Then we talk face to face. and they usually know exactly what it is. We saw 7 prooerties and only one person was not willing to negotiate off line.
Yes, we've only done this while we were available for a face to face.
Hi Yarbros! At 4:11 I see an old Synagogue. The building with green awnings and the large Star of David on top. Can you tour it? Can someone share it’s history? Thank you.
I didn't notice the Star of David on it. next time I am down there I'll ask around and see what turns up!
I've only been to Morelia/Michoacan once because my stepdad is from there. My parents still go once a yr but I always worry even though some, shall we say, "famous" ppl 😗 know our family, so they're left alone... but still, I'm skeptical 😬
Stay safe!
Morelia is safe.
All the stuff you hear about Michoacan is way out in smaller towns far from Morelia.
Oh, yeah ik I looked them up some of the news was crazy but it was far enough away for me to feel comfortable w/ my wife here.
I have been living in rural Michoacán since 2004. It is great.
@Carmelita Making it in Merida I speak the language.
Y’all are killing me
Nice video..Can I get by there knowing little español?
Yes, you can but you'll be practicing daily. The older ppl there don't speak English and have little care of learning it.
Hola saludos 👋
I really enjoyed this video you guys, what is the name of the rooftop bar you all visited on your first night?
Hit us on IG @nomadic.wander.wander.t. I don't know how legit they are and I don't wanna blow their cool little spot up out in this public space....
hello Yarbros,i dig you guys content, question; what is the exact name of the song that starts playing at 1:45 ? #vibes
Great ear one of my favs...Mermaid Tears by Sarah, the Instrumentalist
Where are you From?, and Welcome to Morelia Michoacán muy beautiful city
I love you guys…always keeping it real. I have to ask about dogs are there many loose uncared for dogs in this city? I want to help them all…
There are programs for dog adoption and health Morelia.
Surprisingly there aren't a lot of strays like you see in other areas. We went out to Patzcuaro and they were everywhere...not the case here.
I need to look at a map, no clue where Morelia is. I've heard of it...but don't know where it is. Be Safe!
It's in the states of Michiacan between CDMX and Guadalajara...and ik it didn't seem like it in the vid but we are playing it safe...thanks for watching and caring😁
That first Airbnb..if you would have been in a hood in the states, the rest of your bags would have been gone by the time you got back downstairs. And at a “turn up spot in the middle of the night? Please. Safety is relative. To be aware is to be alive. Enjoy the journey!
You channeled my mind. I took precautions in both situations. The courtyard was a locked entry and the hard part was moving w/ all of our belongings constantly insight. At the bar we got a little turnt and while everyone was floating w/ the stars we left while taking extra precautions while leaving as well. Thanks for your concern...sincerely.
Hello from Jamaica. Como estas
Total bien!
❤
😊❤
That's very smart, to talk to the hosts offline (I'm guessing WhatsApp). How did you guys manage to negotiate a lower price? From $1k to $400...that's a bargain!
Michoacán…”the soul of México”? Ah, that explains my Mother-in-Law - she’s from Cualcoman, and she has such a beautiful spirit.
Hey brother. Was reading thru the comments & stumbled upon your comment. If you don’t mind me asking. Who’s your mother in Law? I’m from Coalcomán too. I Go visit every year.

Hi.......how do you find air B and Bs offline for the better rates??
Qe find them online and then comtact them.to view the apt. and make an offer when we see them face to face.
The state of Michoacán is a major reason why the cuisine of México was named in 2010: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. To this day there’s are only a handful of of world cuisines on that list.
UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
Actually, what I really wanted to say was when I see I think of the telenovela and the amazing Cristian Castro song from that show .
Looks like a wonder city!!! Quick question… when you all were in Costa Rica, did you run into a lot of Americans?
No, we didn't except for in the city of La Fortuna....seemed like foreigners....mostly Americans, were everywhere.
@@TheYarbros Morelia seems like a great stop, is $400-500/month possible?Thankyou
Please show the map to show where you are located .🙂
We tagged ourselves it should show in the deacriotion.
I need you guys to negotiate my next airbnb for me...wow from $ 1200 to $400? How!?
😆 Airbnb marked up 2 weeks of prices, taxes and fees for Dia del Muertos a $26 room went to $45... but honestly God was in the building. Got no other explanation. We asked and they accepted it wasn't even a true negotiation. 🤷🏽♂️
Hey I thought y’all were in Guadalajara, what happened?
It was time for us to move on...we like to keep it pushing along.
Hi , I would love your opinion on which city you prefer more , Morelia or Oaxaca and why? Have a great time !
Heading to Oaxaca soon! We'll let you know!
