Thank you for showing the best of Veracruz!! Went there to visit a few months ago and visited most of the same places and was completely under its spell! My dad is from there so coming back to my roots was amazing! Love this video that does Visiting Veracruz so much justice! 👏🏼👏🏼
Awww so glad you enjoyed our video! Veracuz is such a beautiful part of the country, and we wish more people would visit!
México mi país favorito, Veracruz is one of the states, I would love to visit. Dios bendiga a México y a todos los Mexicanos.¡ Viva México ! ❤❤
I hope you get the chance to visit one day :)
@@TouristtoLocal Amen and thank you very much.🤝
🌟Awesome content, these really amazing a beautiful decorative plants places, 1 like it. More success my friend.🙏❤
that rice n shrimp dish is enough to sign me up!! 😅 planning a trip there in February for Carnivale!!
Great video. I’m visiting Veracruz for the first time this weekend and I’m enjoying learning a bit about the city through your video.
Happy to help! Have a great trip!!
Hello, I am from Veracruz Puerto and thank you very much for having visited my state and my city, we are a state and city that have a lot to offer to tourism and you don't know how nice it felt to watch your video and see and hear how nice you expressed yourselves from my city since I am studying abroad. I hope you return to Veracruz soon. As the holy Pope John Paul II said "Because only Veracruz is beautiful." And btw, I invite everyone who is reading this comment to come to Veracruz, we will welcome you with open arms, you will not regret it.
What a sweet comment! We're glad you enjoyed our video. It means a ton to us when the locals tell us they like how we portrayed their city. Thanks!!
I've always wanted to go there -- both for the music and the food!
It’s such a cool place! Really lovely people here too :)
The cafe lechero looks delicious! I love the historical breakfast, Martin!! Julie that sweet roll with the refries etc is a great idea! What a festive place. Nice job 👍☀️👏. The Vaga brothers! What a small 🌎!!
Thanks so much for watching!!!! It was such a fun video to film :)
Great video
Thank you!!
Vera Cruz has the largest black population in Mexico. I have been contemplating joining the African diaspora there, I have been randomly searching Vera Cruz here on YT hoping to gain insight and knowledge. Thanks for the upload! Also, the cost of living is a 1/3 of the cost to live here in Atlanta Ga from my limited research, 2k roughly is enough for a family of 4 to live comfortably.
That's so interesting! We had no idea. It's definitely more affordable than Atlanta. Give it a visit to see if you like it! Btw, we hope you saw our Atlanta video a few months back :)
Really? I thought it was Guerrero.
I just Googled it. It IS Guerrero, Costa Chica.
In Guerrero AND a part Oaxaca lives afro mexicans too
When you were at the Naval Museum, I said to my husband, my dad would like that place (even though he would never come to Mexico) because he was in the navy. Then your next words were that you were born on an airforce base... well, I was born on a submarine base in Connecticut! Thanks for all your great videos!
How cool that the restaurant you wanted to go to was closed but you ended up at a place where you had so much fun! The food looks delicious as usual, and there is lots of history there as usual. That jail, must have given you the shivers.
There’s definitely a lot to love about Veracruz! History, food, and apparently meeting people you admire! And yes, that jail was CREEPY!
🇲🇽 que viva la raza!
Great video, awesome cinematography and I love how great minds think alike. It’s time for us to burn off all those bombas and picaditas 😂 saludos amigos!
Awww thanks so much!
I need to visit Veracruz. The naval museum reminds of the one in CDMX. another amazing video, thank you!
Ooooh we didn’t know CDMX had one too! Very cool! Thanks for watching!
.....with a spirited Resilience found a way to bounce back. .....each city teaches us a lesson. You two are such good writers. Another amazing video. I love watching you two work together. You already know this, but I will say it anyway.... YOU are a perfect match. Two dancers in sync with each other, sharing stories that are invitingly delicious with beauty rarely observed by others. Thank you for sharing your Neighborhoods. 😊
Wow, this message brought a tear to our eyes 🥹 THANK YOU! We love that you always believe in us and support us.
it's weird to see the place where i live in a youtube video lol, thanks for visiting!!
We bet! Thanks for having us!
That was so much fun! Thank you for sharing this adventure! I am very intrigued by Vera Cruz - and you offered much inspiration and a great to do list. I also notice that your video skills and presentation have improved significantly over the years. I particularly appreciate that you include the price and a rating for the attractions. I am looking forward to seeing more from this important state!
Glad you enjoyed our video, and that you notice those details we’ve added in. Much love, and thanks for being apart of the tourist to local family!
Oh i want to go there so bad. Have friends from there. Heard its beautiful and the food is really good

It’s times like this that really make you believe in fate! Thanks for watching!
Great video ! Enjoy following you on your adventures! Cheers, Chris and Jim🙂
Thank you SO much!!!
Wow. I didn’t realize the Spanish were still around in the 1920s!
Oh my goodness!!! How did this make it past editing 🫠🫠🫠 1820s!!!! Even have 1820s written in our voiceover script, but I mis-read it. Wow, super sorry about that!!!
Nice video i love tu camisa
Gracias!
What microphone do you guys use?? I’m impressed but the quality of audio on that very windy scene 😂
Thanks so much! We use a Sennheiser mic. Here's the link to our camera gear: www.amazon.com/shop/touristtolocal?ref=ac_inf_tb_vh
Veracruz is nice but I really like Xalapa. That's where my fiance and her family are from. She prefers the beach city over the capitol. I have done a few videos on Xalapa. The beaches in northern Veracruz are very nice.
We wish we saw more beaches in veracruz! Where does she like to go?
@@TouristtoLocal Casitas. Northern Veracruz. She said not the easiest beach to get to but very nice and a couple affordable hotels there. I think i did spell the name of the city correctly. Lol
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Hiii here to support! Kevin watched using our channel account and now I’m here! 😁 yum I want another bomba! We didn’t get a chance to get to San Juan de Ulua but I’m so glad you did! We visited it a few years ago it’s a super cool fort! My favorite one I’ve ever seen I think
Aw thanks so much! We're addicted to bombas now, but finding it hard to recreate them like they do in Veracruz! The fort was such a cool place :) Thanks for watching!
@@TouristtoLocal we tried to recreate them once in Chicago too. The nata was just not the same 🥲
right where i live ❤
You have a beautiful city!
Greetings from San Jose Ca.
Howdy! Thanks for watching!
What do you guys do for work up there ? Great video
Thanks! We both work for start ups (Martin for a digital health startup, Juliana for a travel startup) while working remotely. Plus youtube :) Very busy over here!
@@TouristtoLocal thank you
Vera rocks! Kona coffee is overrated. Mexican coffee is just as good if not better. Thank you Tourist to Local!
Mexican coffee is the best! Glad you liked the video! You need to come here one day!
Is it safe to drive?
It is! A little easier too than other areas of mexico.
Hi guys! 👋🏼 my dads from Veracruz and i had to take him again two years ago. He was able to remember where he grew up and where his parents would go dance by the beach at El malecón.❤ Veracruz is awesome , delicious food, super friendly people ! Did you guys try the empanadas? Sooo good I forgot what they’re called.. 😢starts with a V 😂
Aww that’s so sweet! Thanks for sharing! We didn’t try any empanadas, and now we regret that! Guess we need to go back 👀
They are Volovanes ,
@@bebecoqueto69 siiii volovanes!!! Sabroosooos 🥰🥰gracias! 😆
Dude!! Do you guys know those crazy kids on the Eat, Baila, Travel Channel???
Because they just posted from the same place and went to some of the same places that you went!!!
Of course! They are our internet friends 😉 so funny we posted our videos on the same day! Double the reason for you to go to Veracruz!
Alv yo vivo ahi xD
Que padre!
NO TO GRAVEN IMAGES AND IDOLATRY. END DRUG CARTEL AND TERRORISM.
I'll also correct things that are missing...
Things to NOT do while in Veracruz, Mexico
1. Don't talk to any armed/masked men on the streets (even when daylight or night time)
2. Don't insult anyone there (even if they seem friendly)
3. And last but not least... Don't mess around there, it's Mexico 💀
Cartels loves turists.
Best practice would be to follow those rules anywhere 🤣
The CJNG & Zetas Cartel is there so be careful. 122 kidnappings there in the last few years.

Right
No they not 😂😂😂
What kind of feelings THAT HOMEWRECKER VIBE . 👀👎 he’s never gonna leave his beautiful wife and the family they built his wife knows her worth and is no hoe she’s raised their adult daughters that are extremely intelligent and beautifully gifted.
Go get REHAB FOR HOMEWRECKERS WITHIN…. And stay away from co workers that are old enough to be your father and are already married no matter how they appear they don’t belong to you. Alright then 😂
I think you’re on the wrong video! But best of luck to you!!!
