Hi Guys, I'm so out of touch with Leon Guanajuato, that's my birth city. Thank you so much for covering my Beautiful Leon, I have not been there since I was a little girl. I am now in my 50s so, it's been a long time. New sub here. God Bless you both🙏 ❤
@@jannasterling4153 Hi Janna, How nice! Thank you for your comment, and for sharing your appreciation. 🙏🌹 Where do you live now? You should plan a visit one day to see it again. 😊 God bless you as well.
@@WhyNotNow I live in the US in Southern California. I would love to go back to visit Mexico soon. I have a faint memory of Mexico. Faint, because I was very little, last time I was there. It seems like it was all a foggy dream. But, no I was there, it was just so long ago. I have some memories of the place both good and bad. Mostly good memories. But, it feels like it was all a dream. Or like it was another planet, things have changed so much. Mexico is still more beautiful than I remember, but I vaguely recall the smell of the leather in Leon, the shoes. And I remember Woolworths the Wal-Mart of the 70s. It's quite a trip really just trying to remember it all. I am going to be thrilled once I go back. Oh, I remember the TACOS 🌮 DE CHORIZO 😋 those were my favorite.
I lived in Leon for 2 years. Its an amazing city. People are super nice, nice shopping places, Fancy restaurants and gorgeous culture in Guanajuato. Viva Leon Mexico 🇲🇽💚🤍♥️
Your videos just keep getting better and better. Leon looks really cool and the young lady with the violin was super talented. Thanks for taking us with you. I always look forward to seeing your videos.
What a thoughtful and encouraging comment. 🙏🌹 Thank you for sharing your appreciation Wandering Guy. You've been riding with us from nearly the beginning and we thank you.
@@ThingsByBillybob You think she is faking it? I thought it looked pretty convincing. I have been a musician for over 50 years now, but I am going to go back and look at her performance again just to be sure. I will let you know my opinion when I have seen her performance again. I would be interested to know why you think it is fake. Let me know if you would.
I was born in Leon, moved to the US when I was 5 and only returned when I was 39. I'm 44 now so this was 5 years ago. I loved the vibe, the city grew exponentially from what I recalled as a kid. Is a big city so it comes with all the perks and downs of a big city, more of everything in the good sense and the bad one. My parents retired in the US and live most of the year in Leon, for the past couple of years. My dad loves it, my mom not too much but more for her personal reasons. The city is relatively safe if you keep to yourself, don't show or talk more than you have to. My mom is an expert in this, since the neighbours say 'Oh your kids are all grown up and live in the US right" and my mom replies "Yes but they don't even talk to me, I get just by with the meager retirement my husband gets in Mexico" this is a lie ofcourse, they both have US retirement, plus my dad who was an ex-cop in Mexico also gets retirement and my sister and brothers we all help them out monthly as well. They don't have a car, they don't flaunt, they make it seems as if they are just getting by.
My wife says that there is a tour in that big Templo Expiatorio that takes you below the church where there are tombs of people buried there. She went several years ago and said it was really a neat experience. Very famous church.
My parents moved me and my siblings from Leon to Iowa in 1965. I've only returned once in 1971, and I haven't returned since. Love seeing videos of my birthplace.
My co worker is from aguascalientes and my family is originally from leon!! I do concrete in oklahoma! I want to go check it out so bad and see where my family came from. They moved to kansas and came down to oklahoma after
We were in Leon in July. We also went to Silao before heading to SMA. We loved the Mercado and had the best Tortas just outside of the Mercado. I liked the centro and the bus system was great for us as we were staying at the Fiesta near the Puerto Interior.
April 22nd 2023 hey I watched your posts in preparation for my trip I’m in Lagos de Moreno and heading to Leon tomorrow I have my Schipperke service pup with me I found out that buses don’t allow dogs or service dogs so I was wondering how are you traveling around with your two pups please reply
Well done 👍 personal safety should always be a concern first and foremost wherever you are. It’s called self preservation. I care about you guys and appreciate the content you bring to us I never want your safety compromised.
It’s great to always be aware of your surroundings. One tip is to always wear your backpack in front of you (especially if you’re obviously a tourist) As far as the police presence, it’s just a different type. In the U.S you see them in normal vehicles with pistol, whereas in Leon you see them riding in truck with bigger weapons. But it’s a normal for the city. Just different styles of patrolling
If you stayed in Guanajuato and San Miguel Allende for vacation how many days would you stay in each ? Thanks. Nice videos, you guys definitely enjoy traveling.
Hi Le Levontin, You will be fine just like we tell everyone, just pay attention to your surroundings (applies to anywhere you live/ travel in the 🌎).. You will see we reiterate this in other comments posted below.
I have read a couple of times lately that Guanajuato state (where Leon is located) has the fastest increase in cartel activity in Mexico. However, I have never been to Guanajuato state and would like to hear from some one who is familiar with it.
Siiii es verdad .. pero solo los que están involucrados en la droga..puedes venir con tranquila...cuando gustes yo te invitó y te llevo a turistiar..tranquis no pasa nada
We love seeing your furbabies. We have 5, the smallest is a yorkie that weighs 5 pounds….up to BOSS, a lab/cane corso mix at 140 pounds. We hope they will all be coming with us to Queretaro in a year or so.
VERY GOOD "LEON DE LOS ALDAMA, GUANAJUATO". LA CIUDAD DEL CUERO Y CALZADO..... LA PUERTA DEL BAJIO ; BONITO LEON GUANAJUATO, SU FERIA Y SU JUGADAAAAAAAAAAAA!9
Thanks for your comment Tony. We've been told that by a couple of people.... sounds like we need to revisit when able in the future around the time of the fair. 😉
Live life now , why not now? So true! Mexico has so much beauty and wealth. It amazes the chilling out of people around , the peace and joy people there actually enjoy the true meaning of freedom. Many thanks guys.
Hi Fernando, We went to Leon twice but did not stay overnight. We would recommend staying closer to Centro/ Centro Historico the first day (or couple of days) of your stay and once you learn the city better, you can always book another Airbnb/ hotel if needed. This helps as you can easily walk to all attractions etc..
I have Mexican friends who are a married couple who grew up in Leon and they have now moved away due to All the violence. They're now living in the Riviera Nayarit just north of Puerto Vallarta.
@@WhyNotNow They're living in Bucerias where its like night and day they say. They open a restaurant and no extortion money request here at all like in Leon.
Hi guys, it's nice that you like our beautiful city, the reason you see so many police patrolling is because unfortunately the city (and this has to be said) drug violence has become a daily thing and our government has sent more security to patrol the streets so that people feel safe.
Hi Juandel, Yes, we were aware of that; we didn't want to speak in detail about it on camera. We've told people to read through the comments and they will put 2 and 2 together. We appreciate your comment and words of kindness. 🙏🌹 Leon is still a beautiful and amazing city. We always tell our viewers to be aware of their surroundings in any county/ place they live/ travel...it's just a part of life unfortunately. Dios te bendiga amigo. 🙏
Ah, Leon, the city where shoes are made for walking and tacos are made for devouring! Picture this: you'll find yourself surrounded by the sweet scent of leather in a place where cobblestone streets play hide and seek with your sense of direction. If you’re not already sold on the endless array of taco spots offering a fiesta in your mouth, there’s more! Ever wanted to outdance a local? Leon's vibrant folkloric dance scene might just challenge your two-left-feet status. And who can resist the temptation of exploring a city known for its International Balloon Festival? Just remember, don’t let the balloon fly you away before you’ve had your fill of tacos and dance-offs! Leon - where your taste buds, feet, and perhaps dignity might be put to the ultimate test! Thanks, ¿Por que no ahora?
I think Puebla City, Puebla has the most beautiful interior, however the outside is not nearly as pretty as this one inn Leon! I love looking at them all! :)
@@hoz49 We know exactly what you mean ...when we saw the inside of that church, we were speechless at how incredibly beautiful it was. Although we've been blessed to have been able to see a number of different beautiful churches (each unique) in Mexico, the interior of that one was absolutely stunning.
I was born in leon can’t wait to go back after 20 years 🙏 … & yeah leon way different when it comes to crossing streets anything else besides that is nice & the part about why so much police & national guard is because there’s death bodies dropping everyday but not everywhere is just specific areas like my friends from back home says “ if you looking for trouble you gone find it & quick “ just like here in US but next time try some guacamayas typical food from leon gto 👌
Hay no mames ... Tampo ...quemes tanto...no seas mamey..ahora resulta que caen los cadáveres cómo fuente de agua...no mames es es la zonas más marginadas... O populares que están involucrados con la venta de droga... O por robos... Pero eso no sucedió en las zonas céntricas obvio si a pasado por eso la guardia...pero no como lo dices que cae con cántaros... casi literal así los manifiestas.
Ola Blue Demon, Siempre estamos con nuestras cuberbocas. Estamos afuera en este caso y no hay ningún mandato para usar cuberbocas afuera. Gracias por ver.
This is Mexico and It's Culture just like other Countries with Police Patrolling their doesn't have to be anything going on but the Culture of Mexico. If you're uncomfortable of the Culture of Mexico You know what am saying you should Leave than!
Agree Gerald. As we've reiterated in many of our videos, Mexico is a beautiful country and the U.S. in our opinion, has more "danger" if you will than anything we've experienced living in Mexico. We are actually from some of those "big cities" you refer to in the U.S. On a side note, there was something that happened as of recent in Leon which we chose not to speak about on camera; our viewers are smart and can put 2 and 2 together by reading the comments section. Many of our viewers are Mexican and were very clear/ aware of what we had eluded to.
@@WhyNotNow I have been in Mexico for over 40 years, it toke me like 20 years to really know Mexico, so as the years go by your green behind the ears will ripen, that's just the way it is, and you will learn how to handle things better with experience, you will grow into it
Absolutely; as with anything in life, one must always be open to learn/ evolve (many times that comes from the unexpected circumstances of life). We are aware that there are some individuals that may need "more life ripening" experiences than others, but some of us lost that green behind the years long ago. 😉 We look forward to continuing to learn about Mexico through experience.
@@WhyNotNow I have been to Guanajuato I enjoyed, especially the mummy's and the street tunnels going under the city and the high up view of the city, a beautiful place, a few years ago my wife with her friends want there also for a fair, people were sleeping in the street, enjoying themselves, no violence's, no problems, no dangers, I also like Miguel de Allende, a beautiful small town, maybe bigger now?
@@WhyNotNow Green behind the ears can only be ripen with time, I don't know how long you have been in Mexico, I have been hear for 42 years, my fruit has ripen
HI Osborne Bay, As we have stated previously, the way we see it, issues occur in any country throughout the globe; no place is completely exempt from crime/ problems as people are the creators of such issues, and there is no shortage of "us". Quite honestly, we are disturbed when we watch the news of what is going on/ continues to reoccur (much of it isn't new sadly) back in our native country, of the U.S. Wherever one chooses to call home, or visit, the best thing to do is educate yourself on the happenings in that country, and be aware of your surrondings in general.
¿quien les recomendo Guanajuato? especificamente leon, ¡que valor! Guanajuato es la cuarta ciudad mas peligrosa del mundo, soy mexicano y nunca ire ahi.
Ola Jose, Escuchamos opiniones diferentes y damos la bienvenida a todas las perspectivas. Sabemos que el peligro existe en todas partes del mundo y simplemente prestamos atención sin importar dónde vivamos o viajemos. También nos sorprende cuando escuchamos a personas que piensan que Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, es tan seguro cuando en absoluto no lo es. También hay algunas ciudades / áreas muy violentas en nuestro país natal. Esta es la vida, lamentablemente. Dios te bendiga.
@@victorportillo1689 ni loco voy, esperance, cuando vean la impunidad, es su maximo resplendor, habiendo tantos estados en la republica, se fueron a meter en lo peor de lo peor,

What can we say other than ❤️❤️🙏
Yes don't walk around in Los Angeles or most other American cities at night
The national guard is there to protect people , actually when a visit feel more comfortable when they are there,
Jajaja 😂 no es para tanto..hay seguridad porqué siempre están...no porque estén matando en cada esquina.
Hahahaha it's not a big deal it's because security is always there it's not because they're killing on every corner XD
Beautiful city 😍. Can’t wait to finally go back and visit my hometown of Leon!
It’s great to always be aware of your surroundings. One tip is to always wear your backpack in front of you (especially if you’re obviously a tourist)
As far as the police presence, it’s just a different type. In the U.S you see them in normal vehicles with pistol, whereas in Leon you see them riding in truck with bigger weapons.

I have Mexican friends who are a married couple who grew up in Leon and they have now moved away due to All the violence. They're now living in the Riviera Nayarit just north of Puerto Vallarta.
Hi Rod, It's unfortunate; we've heard about the increasing issues. How do they like the Riviera Nayarit area?
@@WhyNotNow They're living in Bucerias where its like night and day they say. They open a restaurant and no extortion money request here at all like in Leon.
@@BuceriasRodHardy Very nice; glad to hear they are happy where they are and have a successful business:-).
Hi guys, it's nice that you like our beautiful city, the reason you see so many police patrolling is because unfortunately the city (and this has to be said) drug violence has become a daily thing and our government has sent more security to patrol the streets so that people feel safe.
Hi Juandel, Yes, we were aware of that; we didn't want to speak in detail about it on camera. We've told people to read through the comments and they will put 2 and 2 together. We appreciate your comment and words of kindness. 🙏🌹 Leon is still a beautiful and amazing city. We always tell our viewers to be aware of their surroundings in any county/ place they live/ travel...it's just a part of life unfortunately. Dios te bendiga amigo. 🙏
hola me gusta que vengan ala ciudad
Muchas gracias Aaron. 😉
Lo más bonito fue la música con la chica del violín.
Cien por ciento Karmin. 🌹

Gracias amigo. 🙏🌹
Ah, Leon, the city where shoes are made for walking and tacos are made for devouring! Picture this: you'll find yourself surrounded by the sweet scent of leather in a place where cobblestone streets play hide and seek with your sense of direction. If you’re not already sold on the endless array of taco spots offering a fiesta in your mouth, there’s more! Ever wanted to outdance a local? Leon's vibrant folkloric dance scene might just challenge your two-left-feet status. And who can resist the temptation of exploring a city known for its International Balloon Festival? Just remember, don’t let the balloon fly you away before you’ve had your fill of tacos and dance-offs! Leon - where your taste buds, feet, and perhaps dignity might be put to the ultimate test! Thanks, ¿Por que no ahora?
@photographyalamexicana you described Leon perfectly. Gracias por ver
I think Puebla City, Puebla has the most beautiful interior, however the outside is not nearly as pretty as this one inn Leon! I love looking at them all! :)
There are SO many incredible churches in Mexico...something for everyone for sure.😉
The 8 sided alter in Puebla blew my mind.
@@hoz49 We know exactly what you mean ...when we saw the inside of that church, we were speechless at how incredibly beautiful it was. Although we've been blessed to have been able to see a number of different beautiful churches (each unique) in Mexico, the interior of that one was absolutely stunning.
The exterior of the cathedral looks like the one in Seville, Spain. Not a fan of hustle and bustle.
Yes ... incredible isn't it Laura. Definitely understand, that hustle & bustle isn't for everyone for sure. 😉
If you love JESUS OF NAZARETH you are welcome, if not go somewhere else. 🖤👽
I was born in leon can’t wait to go back after 20 years 🙏 … & yeah leon way different when it comes to crossing streets anything else besides that is nice & the part about why so much police & national guard is because there’s death bodies dropping everyday but not everywhere is just specific areas like my friends from back home says “ if you looking for trouble you gone find it & quick “ just like here in US but next time try some guacamayas typical food from leon gto 👌
Que padre. 🇲🇽 😉 And yes, we say the same thing...well said Flaco 88. 🙏
Hay no mames ... Tampo ...quemes tanto...no seas mamey..ahora resulta que caen los cadáveres cómo fuente de agua...no mames es es la zonas más marginadas... O populares que están involucrados con la venta de droga... O por robos... Pero eso no sucedió en las zonas céntricas obvio si a pasado por eso la guardia...pero no como lo dices que cae con cántaros... casi literal así los manifiestas.
@@WhyNotNow pero no en las zonas turísticas... Eso ya es paranoia.
Well when the national guard is there , you should feel more safe, that the main reason they are there to protect you
Por salud deberían de utilizar cubrebocas para que no se contagien. (Sarcasmo)
Ola Blue Demon, Siempre estamos con nuestras cuberbocas. Estamos afuera en este caso y no hay ningún mandato para usar cuberbocas afuera. Gracias por ver.
Ni siquiera cerca del peligro que Senti en Chicago, Todos parecían peligrosos, y diario anunciaban muertitos ☠️
Estamos completamente de acuerdo. Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos.
This is Mexico and It's Culture just like other Countries with Police Patrolling their doesn't have to be anything going on but the Culture of Mexico. If you're uncomfortable of the Culture of Mexico You know what am saying you should Leave than!
Drug cartels should not be a culture , it should be culture-opposites. And government should be able to deal with it.
lo mas bueno de este viaje fue que llegaron vivos
😁
Beautiful! León Guanajuato.😍😘💙🌈💜 Thank-you very much for sharing your video, I love it 🥰
Glad you enjoyed them Ana. 🌹
Ask yourself that when your in dangerous U.S. large cities, what danger? got bit by a mosquito
Agree Gerald. As we've reiterated in many of our videos, Mexico is a beautiful country and the U.S. in our opinion, has more "danger" if you will than anything we've experienced living in Mexico. We are actually from some of those "big cities" you refer to in the U.S. On a side note, there was something that happened as of recent in Leon which we chose not to speak about on camera; our viewers are smart and can put 2 and 2 together by reading the comments section. Many of our viewers are Mexican and were very clear/ aware of what we had eluded to.
@@WhyNotNow I have been in Mexico for over 40 years, it toke me like 20 years to really know Mexico, so as the years go by your green behind the ears will ripen, that's just the way it is, and you will learn how to handle things better with experience, you will grow into it
Absolutely; as with anything in life, one must always be open to learn/ evolve (many times that comes from the unexpected circumstances of life). We are aware that there are some individuals that may need "more life ripening" experiences than others, but some of us lost that green behind the years long ago. 😉 We look forward to continuing to learn about Mexico through experience.
@@WhyNotNow I have been to Guanajuato I enjoyed, especially the mummy's and the street tunnels going under the city and the high up view of the city, a beautiful place, a few years ago my wife with her friends want there also for a fair, people were sleeping in the street, enjoying themselves, no violence's, no problems, no dangers, I also like Miguel de Allende, a beautiful small town, maybe bigger now?
@@WhyNotNow Green behind the ears can only be ripen with time, I don't know how long you have been in Mexico, I have been hear for 42 years, my fruit has ripen
Perhaps the personal safety issues of MX is the biggest, almost all time concern on expats and visitors minds....
HI Osborne Bay, As we have stated previously, the way we see it, issues occur in any country throughout the globe; no place is completely exempt from crime/ problems as people are the creators of such issues, and there is no shortage of "us". Quite honestly, we are disturbed when we watch the news of what is going on/ continues to reoccur (much of it isn't new sadly) back in our native country, of the U.S. Wherever one chooses to call home, or visit, the best thing to do is educate yourself on the happenings in that country, and be aware of your surrondings in general.
@@WhyNotNow very very well said!
That's makes very uncomfortable to live every day life.
Why u make these videos and give them these titles? Next time stay in your safe America.
¿quien les recomendo Guanajuato? especificamente leon, ¡que valor! Guanajuato es la cuarta ciudad mas peligrosa del mundo, soy mexicano y nunca ire ahi.
Ola Jose, Escuchamos opiniones diferentes y damos la bienvenida a todas las perspectivas. Sabemos que el peligro existe en todas partes del mundo y simplemente prestamos atención sin importar dónde vivamos o viajemos. También nos sorprende cuando escuchamos a personas que piensan que Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, es tan seguro cuando en absoluto no lo es. También hay algunas ciudades / áreas muy violentas en nuestro país natal. Esta es la vida, lamentablemente. Dios te bendiga.
Igual no te ocupamos aqui
@@victorportillo1689 ni loco voy, esperance, cuando vean la impunidad, es su maximo resplendor, habiendo tantos estados en la republica, se fueron a meter en lo peor de lo peor,
@@josseVar es que aquí la vida no vale nada....o sea es para machos
@@victorportillo1689 el problema que ellos creen que delincuencia en cualquier lado, pero ahi ya se pasan de la raya, te apuesto que la primera cosa que le pasen van a ir llorando de regreso a su pais y solo una persona regresara, si no ninguno.
Why did you go to Leon?
Is not that nice of a city.
We think it's an interesting city. We've gone there twice.
