Congratulations on the 50th! Love your enthusiasm. Keep making your videos!
Thank you, Indy!
Thank you tons. Loved seeing this neighborhood! Congrats on 50!!!
Thank you, Jim!
coming to queretaro in a few weeks, muchas gracias for your great content!
Love hearing about the nearness of the cojetes when you're a pawrent!!! Very important information
This is a great video. I will see you all soon...
This was cool to see all of the neighborhoods in Queretaro!
Thanks for watching, Amy 🥰 more neighborhood tours to come!
Thanks. This was super helpful. I reached out a couple directions for advice on neighborhoods I'd be interested to visit QRO, but yours is the only presentation that spoke to me. I wanted to see someplace that had walk-ability and liveliness. In general, QRO is probably too suburban for me, but visiting Carretas and Alamos showed me areas I would find more desirable. I love that you guys did the tour on bike, which really spoke to a lifestyle I'd want to live. I just wish the public bike program here hadn't gone defunct. Anyway, keep up the good life!
Estoy aquí en San Javier con el Instituto Marista. How encouraging to get the experience and confirmation from Alex before looking for a long-term space to live. Everything here is easy to find, except an ATM and the big box stores on the block, Plaza Parque is close enough to them and the mall. Appreciate your and Taylor's time with friends to hear their experiences.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Joel!
Very nice neighborhood scenes, and FUN with the bicycle rides! I have done MANY motorcycle rodadas using a harness mounted GoPro.
Thanks, Craig!
My wife and I lived in Pathe for 9 years. We enjoyed it very much... We didnt had to use the car for days. Now we live in el refugio and I still miss the friendly neightbors and the location. Good video.. It brought me great memories
Thanks for watching, Alberto! Yes, it's such a luxury not to need a car.
Alex thanks for the awesome video, I never thought of queretaro for a place to live in. Am a beach person lived in SFL my whole life. Now am considering this amazing place. Gracias … keep up the great videos.
Thanks for watching, Ronaldo!
I just found this video. My daughter and I walked through San Javier Sunday and I fell in love with it. I now live in Alamos but am looking for a neighborhood even closer to Centro and I do not need or want the big house I am in now. I would love to connect with someone that has been living in San Javier.
We just moved from Playa del Carmen a couple of weeks ago. I didn't even remember this video when we chose our apartment, but I am so tickled to find it again by chance today! You rode right by what turned out to be our future apartment in Pathe. And I just bought a lemon cake from Adam the other day. He lives a couple of blocks away. AND we are going to breakfast at Olinka this week for the 1st time. We adore this neighborhood!
Welcome to Queretaro, Stacie!
Stacie, what’s a good area in this city that is comparable to Playacar Phase 1 or Phase 2, Mayakoba type neighborhood? Even a Bambu by central Maya would work.
Thank you Alex, we arrived in Queretero about a week ago. Your videos have been so informative from hairdresser, dentist, areas to live, coffeeshops and restaurants. Thank you so much. ✨ All the very best.
I hope you're enjoying the city, Rikki!
@@alex-wittman It's really lovely, enjoying very much. If you have any contacts in that area for long stay B&B's or Hotels in Central please let us know, we are looking to stay for about 2-3 months.
Alex, I didn't know that you and your boy friend lived in Indianapolis for a year......I was born and raised in Indianapolis then moved to a neighboring county when I was 9 years old......But have lived and worked in Indianapolis on and off much of my adult life. Although now I'm back to where my family move when I was 9.........Great video as always.......Wishing both of you the best.
Yep, Indy for a year! I wasn't sure what to expect at first but ended up really liking it there 🥰
Yes! Do more of the neighborhood videos. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it, Doris! Thanks for watching!
Agree! I live in Oaxaca City and have my eye on Queretero for friendlier and quieter experiences. This was GREAT!
Thanks Alex! I’ve just landed in historic Centro, Queretaro, and am looking for a permanent place after an AirBnB for a couple of months. Your videos are so helpful and your accent is beautiful. I’ll definitely check out this area.
Welcome t the city. Need anything, let us know.
@@1EQUALS-INFINITY thank you! I’ve been settling in and meeting some expats and getting myself set up for my work. I just bought a massage table and gave my first Thai Massage yesterday. I visited San Miguel de Allende and while it certainly is beautiful, there’s something about Queretaro that I really like. I’m always happy to meet new people so if you have time for a coffee some day, let me know. My schedule is fairly open these days so far.
Been watching your content for a few months now and have recently decided to focus on Queretaro as my retirement destination. I may also check out a couple of other cities in the Central Highlands. Am planning a trip for next April, possibly staying for 4 weeks.. I have been wondering if Centro would be too noisy for someone my age (will be 65 for the trip). This neighborhood seems like the perfect alternative. I want to be somewhere walkable, near Centro but without all the noise, and a lot of good food options. Thanks for all the content. You do a great job of giving an honest take on living in Mexico.
Wishing you all the best with your Mexico plans, Steven!
I arrived in Queretaro 5 days ago and I'm standing in front of the aqueduct right now. You're right that this is a beautiful part of town. Thanks for your channel, it has been very helpful in helping me decide what city to come to in Mexico. I was wondering if you could possibly recommend to me a notary, or another American who has purchased the house here and worked with a notary? I could very well see myself buying a property in this neighborhood.
Yay, I am so happy to hear that you are so happy in Querétaro! I recommend reaching out to Ivonne Pavaan at Host Relocation: hostrelocation.com.mx/ She has an experienced real estate team.
I'm currently staying in an Airbnb just a few blocks west of your "Jardines." I agree that area is exceptional. There's a French bakery, Saint Honore', that has spectacular croissants.
Thanks for watching, Steve & I hope you're enjoying your time in Querétaro! I know exactly the bakery you're talking about....I had a nice raspberry pastry from there not that long ago!
@@alex-wittman A day or so later I watched your taco tour video. My Airbnb is literally around the corner from Taconazo--I caught a glimpse of it in the video.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Can talk about Morelia ...about how it shows connections to the Butterfly Sanitary...and possible small quite beach towns out of Morelia
Thanks tip on Charles Swab
Thanks for asking me to share this beautiful neighborhood, Alex! The rest of the the video really showed off how great it really is!
Thank you so much, Michell, for being a part of this video! 😊
Ugggh, you made me want to take a trip back to Mexico and not the coastal Mexico!! LOL. I love the colonial parts. You’re videos are great.
Thanks for watching, Charlie! I hope you can visit soon!
Very nice.
Thanks for watching!
I live in Jardines on Calle Margaritas, happily tranquil but a brief walk to the center and so many delightful small businesses. Nearby is my friend Hector's cafe, Nómada. Stop in for a sandwich and coffee. Or warm Jamaica with fruit, which is my preference. Hector has fine English and a penchant for conversation. I sure don't miss needing a car. Uber across town costs under $3 out of peak time, and yes, you should tip.
I studied abroad in Querétaro and lived with my host mom in Los Jardines! I loved it. And now I miss it so much! Thanks for sharing these videos
Thanks for watching, Susie! Wow, so cool that you got to call this part of the city home 🤩 any favorite spots we should know about??
Excellent! We are planning to visit this winter and it really helps to see videos of the different areas. Keep up the good work.
I am so glad to hear that you found the video helpful, Jana! This really is one of the best neighborhoods in Queretaro (in my humble opinion) 🤓Please feel free to ask any questions that you have about the city!
Looks like my kind of place.
Such a lovely part of Querétaro!
You make every part of the city look good! Loved hearing from people who live in the neighborhood talk about why they like it.
Thanks for watching & great job with the GoPro footage 🤓It really brought this Queretaro Mexico neighborhood tour together!
Hola, Taylor !
Great video! I feel like you were answering my question in one of your last videos! So thank you! 😁. Interestingly, I scrolled down that neighborhood today! We stopped by Mirthala Coffee bar and were able to see the Irish pub and the neighborhood, and I gotta say I agree, looks quite homey and safe.
Such a lovely neighborhood! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Thank you. You always have very informative videos. Good going... Beautiful and almost peaceful place.
Thanks for watching, Armando!
Thanks for showing us this neighborhood. It looks very nice. I’ll have to check it out when I come later this year.
Thanks for watching, Johnney! I’m glad you found this neighborhood tour helpful 🤓
Taylor has become one of my favorite "characters" and I say that with nothing but respect and a smile ! Kinda wish there was some way to include a 1-2 minute segment from Taylor each time. Just a kinda fun thing. As always, Alex, you are very professional and knowledgeable; from the heart videos. ALWAYS enjoy them. Thank you.
I will pass this along to Taylor haha 🤓Thanks for watching, Phil!
I love the neighborhood series. So helpful. I also would like if you could show a couple of sample rentals in each neighborhood.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for the feedback!
Really enjoyed the neighborhood bike tours, looking forward to more!
So glad you enjoyed it, Ken! More to come!
I moved to this neighborhood last month! Love it 🥰
So exciting! Congratulations 🥳
Amo ver vídeos de mi ciudad de tan buena calidad.
Jardínes de la Hacienda y El Jacal también son buenos spots.
Gracias por ver, Mariana!
I’m so attracted to this neighborhood…is there a grocery store within walking distance?
This video I have tried locate 3 times...trying locate where you are describing..map please
I did walk down the long street of the arches to reach the Irish pub..good pizza and Guinness..a week off from St Pats..day I had to visit a week early..since my name is Pat Oshea...
Happy 50th!
Like the neighborhood series concept 👍👍
Thanks for watching & for your continued support of the channel, Gringo Loco!
Great video!! Really like videos that explore the various neighborhoods in Q. Especially the ones bordering the Centro Historico, as I am a light sleeper. 😂😎👍
Glad you enjoyed, Alixandrina! I hope to do more neighborhood tours like this in the future!
Thanks Alex for the great video! An interview with a realtor and a few showings of homes would be great to see what homes and prices look like 😉
Thanks for the suggestion!
Love visiting neighborhoods..😎
I hope you enjoyed this video, Mary Joan! 🤓 Such a lovely neighborhood!
Mas recorridos de barios por favor! My husband and I want to spend a month in Qro. next March. We were going to rent in El Centro, but now a whole new world has opened up. I enjoy your neighborhood tours a lot. Gracias Alex!
Thanks for letting me know. I am trying to learn Mexican Spanish on my own and appreciate the correction!
Thanks for watching, Cindy!
What was the name of the restaurant where you had the torta de milanesa an chilaquiles? I couldn’t quite understand. Thanks in advance!
Cafe Olinka!
Sorry if this has been asked, but as you said a good visit should be done first. Places to stay for a week would be great.
For a first visit, I recommend staying in an Airbnb in the centro historico: www.airbnb.com/rooms/19910833?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=8cbde1b3-5fbf-44ce-a224-e8e319f2a3b9

Thanks for watching this Queréraro Mexico tour of one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city 🤓Is this a place you'd like to call home?? Feel free to drop any questions about living in Querétaro or moving to Mexico in the comments below!
Thank you Alex, we arrived in Queretero about a week ago and looking for a B&B or short-term accommodation for maybe 2 to 3 months in the central area if you know of anything or someone we can contact it would be much appreciated. Thank you for all your great informative vlogs. 🤍
What do you know and think about Tejeda?
I haven't spent much time in that part of Queretaro.
@@alex-wittman Thanks. Is it still considered part of the city or is it a separate city, like a suburb? If you know. I've seen a couple of other channels make mention of it, how quiet it is and less expensive than even Queretaro. Was just wondering how far it was from Queretaro or I guess the center (Centro...look at me practicing Spanish!) of the city, and how nice it is. Anyone who may know, please feel fee to chime in. Thanks
You Are A Beautiful Woman Alex!!!!!!!!❤️🖤🖤❤️🔥
Very interesting video, Alex. Are helmets required to ride bicycles in Queretaro or in Mexico generally?
I don't think they're required. I just always wear one!
You know it's the rainy season with those very grey skies. I hope you can show us more areas of Querétaro.
This year has been the rainiest rainy season I’ve experienced since moving to Querétaro ☔️ yes, definitely plan on sharing more of the city! As always, thanks for watching ☺️
What are the covid restrictions like now?
People wear masks in shared spaces (including walking on the sidewalk). Temperature checks are frequent to enter establishments & restaurants/bars close a bit earlier.
Great video! Just moved to QRO would love to connect with you two.
Hi Alex. Ive watched dozens of videos from your channel and other expat vloggers. However no ones talked about relocating to Mexico with a family. Me and my partner have a 3 year old. Are there any tips or advice on moving to.Mexico with children?
The blogger Mexico Cassie has a book about moving as a family to Merida, Mexico!
Mexico is so friendly!
Complete opposite of the States...🤘🏼💯
Mexico is super friendly!
I have two great spots in that area, one of them is a place for artisan pizzas that is ultra local called Manduka, they have excellent combinations and the other one is... a bakery jajajaja, it is called Saint Honoré, it is a bit pricey but worth it.
Thanks for the recommendations!
I couldn't catch the name of this part of Queretero. Could someone give me the name please? It would be helpful to include the name on the screen during the video so i can take a screenshot. Thanks in advance!
Jardines de Queretaro
I’m taking part in the 7 day challenge! I most want to learn to speak and listen in Spanish.
Awesome, you've got this!
What 7 day challenge?
Do u have a realtor in this area ?
I recommend reaching out to Ivonne Pavaan at Host Relocation: hostrelocation.com.mx/
Can you bring your dog? I ahve two Portuguese water dogs, want to bring. Are their street dogs? Are your dogs safe? What questions dont I knkow what to ask? thanks!
In the Centro, I rarely RARELY see street dogs. I definitely think it's a safe place to have your dogs!
Q: What are the neighborhoods walking distance to KROW Coworking? tx!!!
Tepetate seems like an interesting neighborhood with a really nice market!
@@alex-wittman Thanks. I bet a video tour of the neighborhoods around the top 3 coworking spots would be *super* popular amongst DNs and online entrepreneurs. Thoughts?
I got cuestion for you.as you live in queretaro city for little will.how is the properties in Mexico?
Since I rent, I don't know much about buying property & would recommend talking to a real estate professional if that's something you're interested in doing.
if possible, prices for food and drinks posted would be helpful
Yes, please. 🌴
Okay! I will keep this in mind for the future 🤓
My guess would be $9-10 USD per plate for that delicious looking lunch. 🌴
saint honore has amazing rustic poppy seed bread, brioche dessert, and in general the sweet desserts are awesome. But not the top croissants. good but not top.
I had a really lovely raspberry tart type thing from there!
Hi Alex how are you today ?
I’m well, thanks!!
Enjoy. Your lunch
It was delicious!
Once I decided Querétaro, Mexico would be my next home, I was adamant about NOT living in a gated community! Searching Online for months, I must have reviewed at least 10,000 houses, rejecting anything resembling a condo or a gated community. On my first visit to the city I saw 12 of my Best Pics, and settled on one tentatively. When I returned to the city 2 months later, Monica insisted I see THIS place. Initially I said no. (the photos were horrible), but once I saw it in person, I put in an offer at full price, they accepted, and I moved in 2 months later.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Craig! It sounds like you really put in the work to find the perfect place for you.
@@alex-wittman Yes, but that's the only way to do it. From what I read in expat groups, many Americans expect a real estate agent to do all the work: To find the Best House in the Best Part of Town. It doesn't work that way in "Kansas" and it doesn't work that way here. My online search was partly for education, but also a 6-month daily job. AND...a lot of fun! I encourage my fellow expats to be brave.
@@PalaminoHills yep, be brave & pound the pavement!
Guys
😇😇
Hola
Gracias por ver!
Alex when you get married, you’re going to have to feed him. Fatten him up a little.😉
More churros!
@@alex-wittman I’m sure you’ll figure out something. lol
@@alex-wittman About 10 or 15 pounds. Something to sink your fingernails in. 👍
Will you please refer me to an immigration specialist in your area? I need assistance in changing my 1st Temporary Mexican Residency Visa to 2nd Temporary Mexican Residency Visa 😊
I recommend reaching out to Ivonne Pavaan at Host Relocation: hostrelocation.com.mx/
can I get your telephone?
I hope you've connected with Maddie.
Wishing her the best!
I cringe every time an American asks me "What is the BEST neighborhood in Querétaro?" We have 10,000 neighborhoods, and they want "the best one!" LMAO.
Plus, the "best" means something different to everyone!
Lots of immigrants in Mexico too just like us
Hola 👍🏽🙌🏽
