@@spitfire2885 Play the video again and listen to Mariana say “gringo tax” price.

Or find a Spanish speaking person maybe a realtor to help you. Maybe Mariana’s faster speaking due to being Hispanic interfered with hearing that part. ❤
I’m visiting Valladolid this upcoming December (2024) … I have a feeling I’m going to fall In love with this town …. I might just have to retire here 🤩🤔😊
Valladolid looks to be right up my alley. It's quiet, tranquil, small and simple and out of the way. Easily walkable and not so touristy. I have to visit and check it out. Great Video!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide, I've not seen you report on Veracruz or Tampico. I spent two nights in Tampico, and 29 nights in Veracruz. I was satisfactorily impressed with Hotel Lois. I liked seeing so many Hispanic families vacationing in Veracruz. More cultural than beaches.
I love the vids and photos about out of the way towns. Many of us don't want to live in a huge city, or we are past our fun-in-the-sun beach days. As a gardener and health nut, I would be interested in small sized cities or towns near farming or food growing areas. Somewhere I could have my own garden or orchard, and keep chickens or bees. Great video!!
I love Valladolid...spent a week in 2019, charming, easy to navigate and lots of cool places around to check out like Rio Logartos and San Felipe! I loved the easy vibe....very peaceful
Thinking about this series of local recaps, it seems to me YOU'RE SO FORTUNATE to travel and dive a little deeper into so many wonderful places. I nearly have to update me "Visit" bucket list every time I watch one. Thanks.
Oh, Valladolid! This town really stole my heart on my first visit in 2019. I was just there for my 3rd visit last November, and already want to go back :) My dream is to retire there, or at least have a vacation home there to get away to during the winter months. Thank you so much for this informative video- I've tried to look into how much it would cost to live there and haven't had much luck. I definitely need to learn Spanish, lol.
I visited Valladolid yesterday and feel in love with this town instantly. Your video was one of the few that I really enjoyed and learned a lot about this town. I plan to make a two week trip later this year. Will keep you updated.
We really like Valladolid for the calmness and the walkability. Food there is great as well, especially on the street that runs from cenote Zaci to the mercado.
Visited a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. We'll return and stay longer next time-hoping to take advantage of some volunteer opportunities there. Great video-thank you!
Valladolid looks amazing1 I'll be in Jalisco on a vacation/house hunting trip next week Watching from Minneapolis Minnesota. It was -18 last night here.... can't wait to be back (home) in Mexico!!
I am watching you Valladolid video from Canada. It would be an idea to also list the prices quoted in US and Canadian dollars since that you video is being presented in English and probably viewed by US people and Canadians.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide I think Pachuca is where I bought a few guitars for friends. Handmaid and great quality. Mariana estoy en Huatulco todavía. Voy a regresar a Texas y regresaré aquí pero quiero investigar varias otras partes ❤ Valladolid is for sure on my list. The prices have to be less that this tourist overrun place I have spent now over a year in. 🔥 Yes, I spent one summer and it’s getting to close to that now! Gracias por su video. Hasta pronto. ❤
Thank you for this video! After looking a little more into it, the lack of an airport is interesting. Do they have an estimate on when the Maya train will get in the area? Also, is the Maya train going to Veracruz or is it just in the Yucatan?
Thanks Valladolid looks great except the heat. We purchased the Relocation Guide but have yet to find our place in Mexico. Mariana, could you touch on being able to purchase organic vegetables more consistently in your videos…we are Vegan so that would be helpful.Also, you mention pharmacies, hospitals but we tend towards being able to purchase homeopathic remedies or herbals for health…we’re really attempting to be actively healthy and out of hospitals. Art supplies and classes would also be of interest…so far in our search Chapala area and San Miguel de Allende look to have some of this….or do we have to order alll our supplies….I’m sure Mexico City would have them too. Thanks again, we appreciate your videos.
Hi Mariana, in a couple of weeks I get to go to Mexico City and Merida on business. I've been to Cancun before but I'm more excited to see Merida as I am about 4 years from retirement and you've made me curious about it 😂 I'm in North Carolina.
I presently live in SE Georgia USA, this town looks lovely but maybe abit too small and quiet for my wishes. I strongly prefer being near a beach. I have been to Merida, Progresso and envens, Guadalajara, Lake Chapala and La Paz BCS. La Paz seems to offer me more of what I seek. Planning a return trip late Spring early Summer.
I settled down here 8 years ago, now I don't see the time when I may finally leave, because I cannot stand the suffocating hot season, from mid March till final week of June, when the rainy season finally starts. The sidewalks are narrow, not even, full of holes and bumps and people don't plant trees and you walk on top of a Comal. People throw their dogs into the streets and they are full of tics and scabbies and defecate outside. The Pitufos architecture is ugly, with very low ceilings.

How lovely to listen to a perfectly bilingual presenter making a presentation about Valladolid.
I'm all about the "local" markets and products instead of the chain generic world I'm subjected to daily in the US.

We def don’t do it alone. I have an amazing team and together we are very fortunate to get to see so many amazing places
My favourite little town so far in Mexico, been there twice ! Greetings from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 😊

nice! thanks for watching
We really like Valladolid for the calmness and the walkability. Food there is great as well, especially on the street that runs from cenote Zaci to the mercado.
We stopped there in December on our tour to Chichen Itza and I wish we had longer to explore it.
That just means you'll have to come back to explore more :)
Thanks for another great video ❤
Visited a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. We'll return and stay longer next time-hoping to take advantage of some volunteer opportunities there. Great video-thank you!
Sastal living in Valladolid outside of the town is going to be the place
Watched from Houston. Texas - Great video - Thanks for the share
Interesting clip . I’ve been through Volladolid on my way to Merida. I like the town.

So attractive! I am Mexican, in the past...
My wife is originally from Pachuca but we live in Salt Lake City now. Have you ever done a video on Pachuca?
Not yet- but stay tuned. We may feature it in the future
@@MexicoRelocationGuidelooking forward to it. Love your videos

Well, Valladolid is waiting for your visit!
Great little town! Where's the closest ocean beach?
Tulum, Progreso, or anywhere in the Riviera Maya

Too hot without having the benefit of the ocean
Too hot.
Check out our site if you want help planning a move to Mexico or for more options on other cities that are not hot - mexicorelocationguide.com
MOST EXPATS WOULD FIND IT TOO HOT AND NO BEACH
ONLY FOR THE TRUE EXPAT TYPE
Waaaaay too hot
Way too hot and way too humid.
Way waaaay too hot for me.
Watching from Toronto Canada! Love all your presentations. Will probably buy your guide. Love Merida 🩷
