a lot of press from other expats in Mexico. We think it might be one of Mexico's
best-kept secrets!
With great weather, affordable housing, amazing food, beautiful architecture and
centrally located for ease of traveling.

Puebla truly is a hidden gem... I love balance between the historical aspects and how modern the city is. The food scene is outstanding and the people are very friendly. The weather is consistently moderate but it does rain a lot during rainy season.... and Im not talking about a normal rain.... it comes down in buckets!! I'm from Hawaii(so I know a bit about rain), live in the SF Bay Area and lived in Puebla (Lomas) for a year (2018-19). During my time in Mexico, I visited over 20 cities/towns with the intention of deciding if the place is meets what Im looking for to retire. A few definitely did but when factoring in cost of living, amenities, food scene, comforts I'm used to.... Puebla won over and over. The game plan is to retire as soon as possible and move back to Puebla!!!!! Love me some cemitas!!!
Thanks for sharing! Your plan sounds awesome
You like Puebla for a place to live over Guadalajara?.
@@christopherhouse7937 Guadalajara is bigger, thus comes with the issues of a bigger city, like increased traffic, for example. Guadalajara's weather is also warmer.
@@christopherhouse7937Puebla is much better to live in, it is quieter, safer, better gastronomy and cheaper than Guadalajara
I'm mexican and I would prefer 10000x Puebla over San Miguel de Allende. The are many amazing cities that are treasures like Mérida, Puebla, Cuernavaca, etc... Puebla It is a jaw-dropping experience.
Well, you did it again! Every time I start zeroing in on a place to live, you show us yet another. I think I'll just have to spend a few years checking out all your recommendations for myself.
Thanks for your work.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video 😀
ikr...just when I think I found what I was looking for she explores another city!!! I just can't decide🤔🤔
Hola from BC, Canada.
I dream of returning to Mexico after visiting for 3 weeks in 2018. I want to live there, so am interested in smaller places, not big cities. 😃
You should check out some of my other videos where I cover smaller cities 😀
Try Tepic, Nayarit on West Coast. 2800-3000 ft elevation within 45 minutes of the beach - cooler up here. Smaller only about 450K population - about size of Albuquerque, N.M.
Hotbed of Naturalist Medical Doctors and Naturalpathy and even Homeopathy. Far cheaper than GDL, Puebla, or CDMX and 80% less crime in my estimation. I have a friend that just moved up from the coast ( think New Orleans in the summer), as too hot for him. I drove him around as we have about 6 micro climates here. He was from San Francisco originally
so after everything I showed him the Fracc. "Alaska". Named for the cool fog that hits that part of town first coming up the mountains from the beach every evening. Too cold for most but he absolutely fell in love with it and rented a studio Apt. there and loves it. No Gringo Gulch here, just a small list of Gringo and Canadian Mavericks, living amongst the very friendly
Mexicans. We don't want a Gringo Gulch here - no Guayabitos crowd either. If you can't blend in, then DON'T come. We definitely don't want any Gringo Gulch here, neither the locals or us Gringos/Canadians. Cost of living is about 35-40% cheaper than in GDL. Lake Chapala area. About 1/3 of all adult males have lived/worked in USA - so very friendly, even one of our ex-Governors was an Illegal at one time. You must be able to give back on a daily basis. Gringos' first came here about 130 of them after WWII and we have a good reputation here and demand new comers keep up the good work. Peer pressure to keep it that way. People will come up to you and ask you to help them out with things like notices from Social Security from when they worked in the states. We expect you to stop take time out and help these strangers. Hundreds of Mexican have helped us out in some many unselfish ways in the past it's just "repaying Karma".
You can live in some place like zacatlan de las manzanas or cuatzalan
My favorite city! I❤ Puebla, culture, history, great food, pueblos mágicos, Angelopolis which is the new modern area with espectacular new buildings
Born and raised in Puebla.
Every time you do a video, it adds another city I will consider. Definitely focusing on the Centro Highlands. Keep up the great content.
That’s my goal Marcus! To educate you on all the wonderful options in Mexico that most relocation gurus never talk about
Thank you so much for watching!
Awesome!! You and your team really ROCK!
Gracias Maria- glad you enjoyed it
We took the bus from CDMX to Puebla in summer 2019. Very much enjoyed it and also visited Cholula. Beautiful views from there!
Oh my gosh what a coincidence. I just watched itchy boots CZcams channel and she’s traveling from South America to Alaska on a motorcycle. And today she stopped in Puebla. And I told my wife I think this is the most beautiful area that I have seen in Mexico.
OK those Samita‘s look a lot like a tenderloin sandwich here in Indiana. You’re really making me want to find out more about this place.
Itchy boots also drove by the blue house from the artist Frida Kahlo.
How awesome is that?! I love itchy boots!!! Saludos!
In Puebla we have a lot of food and our own traditions ❤😂
🎉 Visit it in the Summer enjoy the Delicious Barbacoa Roja, Mole Poblano, Chiles Enogada and Cemitas ❤ I miss my beautiful 😢city. For all those that don't know, Audi and Volkswagen are made in Puebla Mexico ❤
Beautiful! It’s my first watched video about Puebla. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Is it a place you’d consider living in?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide we are not certain at this point
Puebla is lovely
We agree!!
Very nice video. I was unfamiliar with Puebla but now I think I will visit.
That’s a great plan! Keep your options open 😉
I’m SO glad I found your channel! My husband and I are seriously considering retiring to MX some day. I have to say, your videos are making the choice of location in MX a tough one. After seeing your videos, I feel like we should spend at least a month in each of the top spots before making a decision. Too fun!
Yes! It happens, the more you research Mexico, the more it’ll surprise you (in a good way!)

Hello Mariana! I became really interested in Mexico when I found out how beautiful it is and how much it has to offer for people of all ages. I hope one day I'll be able to move to Mexico and live a dream life after a life dedicated to working for society and family and less for myself. Your voice is also warm and welcoming, with a soothing effect on me. Thank you for the useful and inspiring information that are so precious for me and others like me in need of a fulfilling life.
Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! Please check out my site for more useful information mexicorelocationguide.com
Living. retiring in Mexico is like my Dad used to describe "the good ole day's like first part of 1900's", except with modern appliances, conveniences and a really good Medical System. Plus Gringo's you feel like you have more "Freedom" NO WOKE Crap!, Women for the most part are still women and men are men. You should be discrete and stay out of Political Discussions - but 95% of the time they just laugh at you as 1.) You have no understanding of the complexity of the Political situations, 2.) They're so used to Gringos saying such dumb things, that they actually have old colloquial sayings about such. After first 6 months got rid of all "Big Pharma Meds", as life is slower and more congenial to "LIVING"!
Gracias, Mariana! Muy informativo tu video sobre Puebla. Te escuché y vi tu video desde Indianápolis, Indiana. Estare en contacto muy pronto después de finalizar mis (pre) preparativos de mi mudanza para buscar un poco mas de asesoramiento antes de mudarme a México. Gracias de nuevo!
Living in Indiana visiting Merida thanks for video
I live in Brentwood, northern California. I'm planning a trip to Puebla in March next year with a possibility of moving there. 🙂
Sounds great! You can do it 😀
Muchos gracias! VERY good work on this Mary. I've watched zillions of these about various expat city possibilities..your presentation was informative, beautifully rendered and your tone and metering were like an awesome warm blanket to watch and listen to!
Gracias!
This is another great video 👍🏽 I particularly love the weather. It doesn't get too cool. And 90 degrees is certainly better than the 108 degrees we had yesterday. Thank you for sharing a really beautiful city.
Hope you enjoyed it Carla! Thanks for watching it 😀
Same here in Arlington, Texas!, …all week is going to be the same. Wonder how August is going to look like! Yes, it is a beautiful and refreshing city, Puebla. Hope to come see it sometime.❤️ Mariana’s approach when making videos about Mexico, doesn’t leave anything out.
Great video! I'm curious about Puebla. Some how in some way it is kind of not talked about a lot in spite of it being the 4th largest city in country? Big food town, good weather, plenty of culture and history, decent cost of living in spite of great amenities. I have a feeling it is one of the better places to live in Mexico. Planning on exploring soon can't wait.
That's okay- some city's are ok to be kept a secret. I hope you enjoy Puebla a lot! Love it there
@@MexicoRelocationGuide agreed! Much much better that way.
It probably is the best big city to live in Mexico. Just find ways around safeguarding yourself from the petty thefts. Well I guess, like most big cities?
When you go stay at the Casaregna which is gorgeous and fabulous food.
How does it compare to queretero and San Luis Potosi?
How beautiful!!! . I absolutely love your video. Puebla de los Ángeles, my Home State in beautiful Mexico. Living in USA for most of my life, watching your videos keeps me dreaming of one day in the near future be able to move back and enjoy life. Thanks Mariana!! Greetings from big D.
Saludos!
Thank you for providing all valuable info. May I ask for a favor? Please turn down music play or lower the volume. Music is distracting and too loud. Thank you.
Great vid!!!

What a beautiful city! I love the historic architecture. The city really feels like it is in Europe. Speaking as a Canadian I think the most beautiful cities in North America are in Mexico. The scenery is breathtaking. That snow-capped mountain looks just like Mount Fuji! I suppose the only drawback is possibly the altitude and thin air although it does provide relief from the heat. I could deal with the 33 degree C in the summer - that is what we have in Toronto in the summer and the rest of the year with mild temperatures and no snow would be like heaven for me.
This could be your place Kevin!
Kevin I'm in Toronto also and I couldn't agree with you more👍
Puebla has the best climate in all of Mexico, it is temperate and in hot weather it is not very hot, I really like everything about Puebla
Nice rendering! Congratulation.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this video. I am absolutelyin love with that city. It really is a well kept secret but it is not overun with tourists or expats just yet.
You’re right- which is why I want to share it with others
Great video. I am in Quertaro right now. Heading to Monterrey next week and then will have to see.
well done and interesting

So many wonderful places to choose from. My wife and I live in Nevada City, California (foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains). We have been vacationing in various places in Mexico every January for the past 25 years. Mostly beach cities. Not sure yet where we are going next January. Love your videos.
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful!!! I will be in Queretaro and SMA next month. I love the colonial/baroque influence. I think I need to put Puebla on my calendar!
Yes definitely! Have fun in Querétaro
I live in SMA and spent time in QRO. I just took a trip to Puebla and was very impressed. It's about 30% cheaper than SMA and has the benefits of
Living in a city

Hi Brendan! Thanks for watching 😀
Hi Marianne I love the video!!! Love your channel very informative. Would love it if you do a video of what to pack and bring with you to travel in mexico while deciding where to live. How do we prepare for the big move!!! Thank you🥰
thanks Marietta- man this is a hard one because it fully depends on where you plan to move to. But I can probably do something like this for you guys :)
Thank you so very much. A challenge is good😄🙃
Look forward to it. I'm planning on going to puebla in Sept/Oct this year.🥰
Muy bueno muchachita 💌
Gracias
Great and helpful video. I've been in Cozumel for over a decade, my kids were born here. We are really wanting to be in mainland Mexico, away from Lage expat communities, and around lots of parks and activities for kids. Oh and culture! Is there a certain area of Puebla or surrounding area that would be a good fit?
I really like Puebla, Atlixco or Cholula
Such a pretty place. I am looking for and realize it may not exist, a town like this that is much closer to a beach/coast.
Open the Mexican map and start exploring - there are many towns like this
Xalapa, Veracruz is near of the sea.
Hi, I'm watching your video from Las Vegas, Nevada... I'm really thinking about some day move to Mexico, God willing
Would love to help you. Check out the site mexicorelocationguide.com/blog
Hello, Truly enjoy your videos. Your interviews plus all the content you have for cities. i have a question. there is a city that was founded by a few families. while talking to Pastor Tammy, this subject came up. now i remember watching a video with this info. would this info be one of you videos.
Hello from Houston area.
Thank you again for the video.
Definitely oing to put Puebla in my bucket list.
Just visited the Puerto Vallarta area (Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerías, Sayulita, San Pancho, Lo de Maros, Rincón de Guayabitos).
Any established Expat areas?
List of other retirement neighborhoods?
Thank you,
Julio
There are a lot of retirement areas in mexico check out my videos of Ajijic, Chapala, and San Miguel de Allende to start
La portada del vídeo es la azotea del Museo de Amparo.
Puebla looks fantastic. I live in Chillicothe, IL, a small town in Illinois with a small Mexican population (many are my husband's family). The Mexican population originally moved to Chillicothe due to the railroad jobs. His great-grandparents are from Guanajuato. I'm interested in at least spending a few months in Mexico when we retire in a few years. Interestingly enough, he is NOT. We'll see. For now, just looking and I love your channel by the way!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching :)
Please cover Vera Cruz. There's so little on this location.
We’re thinking about it for future videos. Thanks for the suggestion
Hola! Great video, can you provide the website for the house and apartment rentals you showed at the end? I tried Vivanuncios, but most of their listings are outdated. Gracias!!
Hi Tao!
Some of the listings came from the realtors we recommend in the area.

I like how you present things, yet the background music was disturbing. Please make lots more vids! oh, we stayed in Peubla, well tried to...we were on the bad part of town at night so we left and missed this gem of a city.
Intriguing. Air pollution seems to be an issue. Your thoughts?
Air pollution is certainly more noticeable in the larger cities of México
Enjoyed your vid here in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a friend here who is from Puebla. One thing I find missing is decent proximity to the ocean. That would be nice.
In Mexico you have coastline in both sides so cities near the area ocean are plentiful!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide true. I was referring to Puebla specifically. Can't walk or ride your bike to the ocean.
Hi from NJ..moving to mx...please, What is that circular building on the highway? It was odd as we drove past.
It's name is Helea.
Luxury Apartment Highrise called Helea.
Hi, I'd love to move to Mexico in a few years, but of course I'd love to explore the country 1st (I'm completely open regarding where to live) and I wondered whether you are aware of or could recommend a multi-month vacation/tourist option to view the entirety of Mexico by tour bus that would include lodging options? Pls let me know, thanks!
We have a variety of Relocation Tours- but you have to book your own lodging and transfers between cities mexicorelocationguide.com/tours/private-relocation-tours/
Great, thanks very much for this info and for your quick response! I'll be sure to look into this ... Take care!
Was there just for a short period but I’d like to go back. ¿Do you know if a city like Puebla will have a Dia de Los muertos celebration this year or any tip how I can find out. ?
You can most certainly count on there being a day of the dead festival in Puebla this year. But you can always google Dia de Los Muertos in Puebla 2022 and see what comes up
Do you have info about Cholula ?
Sorry I only have info on Atlixco and Puebla at the moment mexicorelocationguide.com/?s=Puebla
Hi from Zwitzerland. I am planing to go to Cuernavaca and i am interest in Dentists there. Could You please make a video about ?????
Thanks for the suggestion
Puebla has all the Pro's of México City without the Con's.
It’s a great alternative but doesn’t exactly compare to México City
@@MexicoRelocationGuide It doesn't, but Mexicans say that Puebla is like a suburb of Mexico City, since the vibe is pretty similar. Same Universities, same schools, same hospitals, similar malls, similar restaurants, similar nightlife, similar people, etc. But smaller.
@@ThePathbauer Sounds Good! 😃👌
@@ThePathbauerYou're right, it's like Mexico City but smaller and cheaper.
We like smaller towns, but I got to thinking that there has to be smaller towns near by to all the large cities. Is this correct?
You’re absolutely right. For Puebla there is Atlixco and Cholula ☺️
👍
this city is really nice. I am wondering if this is safe area?
It’s safe to live in Puebla but like any other large city there is also crime. But if you ask people living here they’d tell you they live a normal life
I could only decorate that Puebla is one of the safest cities in Mexico
Madras Oregon
Welcome 🤗
Are there mosquitos in Puebla? Huge worry of mine!
Not as prevalent as other cities with more rain and water sources nearby
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Thank you!!
This does not seem to be any area with a lot of expats
You’re absolutely right, which may not be for everyone
It sounds interesting, but those American suburb style divisions are depressing.
Depends on your style. If you like to have EVERYTHING in your backyard, it’s very convenient. These houses are selling like hot cakes
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Is there anything else to buy? Perhaps that's why those houses are selling. It's like in the US, there is no selection.
@@camouflageartist8897 If you don't like the Suburbs, Puebla has a lot of urban neighborhoods with street cafès, restaurants an bars. La Paz for instance has a very vibrant street called avenida Juárez, and has a lot of trendy Appartments.
@@ThePathbauer I'm not into apartment living, but American suburbs are deadly. It's sad to see Mexicans going for this dehumanizing lifestyle.
@@camouflageartist8897 you can also get houses on urban neighborhoods. But they're obviously a bit more expensive than apartments. Now, Puebla suburbs may look similar to American suburbs, but they have some key differences, they're more walkable, have more public spaces, public transport, are more dense and are closer to city cores. They're not perfect, but at least they don't sprawl as much as in the US
Is there a shortage of water and is it drinkable in Puebla and the surrounding cities? Also do people throw toilet paper in the toilet or is it thrown in the trash can next to the toilet?
How is Puebla different from Guadalajara? Is the cost of living cheaper in Puebla? Is Puebla as nice of a place to live as Guadalajara?. Please respond back anyone!
The cost of living is very similar throughout Mexico with the exception of rentals and proximity to the downtown or Centro area. Guadalajara is probably slightly more expensive in terms of rentals but it is a much much larger city
Vivapuebla10000
Thank you for this idea! I like Mexico, but find it intolerable living among large numbers of other American expats, like in Ajijic or Medellin in Colombia. Puebla warrants a visit!
Glad you like the video- You know there are FAR more places in Mexico that don't have expat communities like Puebla. There are only a few places in Mexico where all the expats live. So if you don't like that, you'll find way more variety than the opposite. :)
Please don’t move to any city in Mexico , I hate living with expats too , I would like to be the only expat there . Thank you
@@neilarnold5145 Why?
Is this where you live? How can I find an affordable apartment in Puebla?
Check out this post mexicorelocationguide.com/best-rentals-in-mexico/
Living in Sacramento CA. Considering a move with my wife and 9yo son. My needs are being able to flush my toilet paper, good I internet and schools.
You should be able to flush your toilet paper if your plumbing is pretty new. So not living in a very old house is crucial.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Yeah, alot of research to do. I really appreciate your channel. One the top ones I will be using for guidance
😂
Puebla actually has an American School.
I have been thinking about relocating. What is general cost of living? I am 65 retired with retirement and social security checks
Hi there. It depends on your lifestyle
But it can be done with as little as $1000 USD a month- although you should know that this will get you a vert very modest rental and not a Loy of budget left for entertainment etc.
we think $1500 a month is more realistic as a minimum
You also gave to consider health costs. ☺️
@@MexicoRelocationGuide i dont need the lap of lugery. With those prices i may as well stay here.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide does that 1500.00 include all living expenses. Food water, electric, gas, phone, internet, rent?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide what are health costs? I have VA health so i dont pay anything right now
how u doing?. incredible ! taalk you later,🤩
Interested in driving small scooter snd bicycle . Looking for culture and low cost of living
Riding a bicycle in Mexico in my opinion should be limited to the areas where they have bike lanes only. Which every large city tends to have in certain areas ☺️
Puebla has decent enough bicycle infraestructure in it's urban Area. Cholula is super bicycle friendly.
How about the issue of drug cartels presence in Puebla? Is that a serious setback there like it is f.ex. in Tijuana, Jalisco, Ciudad Juarez, etc.?
