¡Oh sí! Hace unos años viví en Aguascalientes y puedo decir que los mejores años de mi vida los pasé en esa maravillosa ciudad. He residido en otras ciudades del país y en ninguna he sido tan feliz como en Aguascalientes. ¡Cómo me gustaría volver a vivir allá! También tiene muchos centros comerciales y les faltó mencionar que también venden las mejores hamburguesas de México (Country Break). Thanks The Country Collectors, I'm glad that you liked my favorite city.
José Guadalupe Posada is the most important mexican artist of modern times: he gave to Rivera, Khalo, Orozco, Siqueiros and many others,the ground to understand the ‘mexican symbolism’, syncretism and our idiosyncrasies. It didn’t make the fuss of Frida, Rivera, but Posada is The Guy to understand the graphical culture of Mexico: every Día de Muertos’s t-shirt, postal card, ‘Papel Picado’ scene, political cartoon is a voluntary or not tribute to Posadas The Genius.
thanks for sharing that insight. i walked thru museum but got tired of translating the entire history of his work. but the amount detail about his work in the museum is understandable given your placing him in context of other artists. Frankly, i also loved the bronze sculptures of jesus contreras all over AGU and i loved the paintings of Saturnino Herran at Museo de AGU
@@gametime-bw3zk let’s ask to this museum guys to put informative information in Spanish too. Saturnino was an important creator but in a minor importance, even his portentous talent and technique.
I really loved the train yard. Thanks for sharing that part of the city. I can see why it would have been the largest hub as its location is north of Mexico City on the way to the US.
This is Paul and Gloria... In Oaxaca. Someday we may go to Aquascalientes as we have a new friend from there. As always, the video gave us lots of places to see, & great information about the city 🏙️ We, and all of your followers, look forward to your videos on Sunday. It's a part of our Sunday morning We just got back from Cholula & my University reunion & we move to our new rental house in Oaxaca tomorrow. We're busy!
Que ciudad tan bonita y ordenada se ve, mucha oferta cultural, bonitas plazas y edificios, muchos museos, no es de las ciudades mas promocionadas para el turismo, pero sin duda tiene mucho que ofrecer, gracias por mostrarnoslo chicos.
Muchas gracias por mostrarnos la ciudad capital: Aguascalientes, estado muy pequeño y poco promocionado, dirían ustedes fuera del radar turístico, ya que solo se conoce nacionalmente por la Feria de San Marcos, que hasta tiene su bella canción. Pero ustedes nos invitan con esos hermosos lugares recorridos, a disfrutar esa tranquila y preciosa ciudad y que: "Viva Aguascalientesnnn...". Yo pasé por ahí, en un viaje rumbo a Ciudad Juárez, hace aproximadamente 50 años, en la famosa ruta "semicorta" a la frontera, desde Veracruz. Y seguro, regresaré. Saludos. 👍
Hi Heidi and Adam...I'm so glad I found your channel. Many years ago I went to school in Cuernavaca and fell in love with the country and the people. Thanks for sharing so much of your time and your honesty on your 'live'. ♥ (P.S. I'm currently living in NJ)
My Grandad (who passed away a few months ago) was born and raised in El barrio del Encino, he loved it, he even wanted when he passed away his last Mass has to be celebrated in the Church De Nuestro Señor Del Encino, it was so awesome and so special to me that you guys showed to world the place where the most important person in my life was born and grew up as well the place where we said Goodbye to him before his burial, thank you guys, God bless y'all
Oh George. I am so sad to hear of his passing but so happy you got to share such a beautiful connection with him. Thank you for sharing that with us. I can imagine he was a very special person and he is always with you.
Love, love, love! Thank you both for showing everyone how beautiful Mexico is. Full of history and natural beauty Mexico is a country to visit! Saludos desde Illinois!!
I live in Aguascalientes but my partner is from Australia and he found your videos when you were in Michoacan, remembering all the places I took him to visit. He was very excited that you were here in Aguas.
Guys! What a gorgeous spot! Thank you again, so much for taking us along with you. Love starting our Sundays with you. Heidi, Adam needs to buy you some new sunglasses. 😆 😎
@@TheCountryCollectors OH too funny Heidi! Good for you! I was going to ask if you guys have a PO Box or something in the US. I'm making jewelry these days, and you've always got cute earrings on. I'd really love to send you a pair or two as a small token of appreciation. Is this at all possible? 🙂
Moved here to AGS about 4 and a half years ago with the woman I'd just married who was born and always lived here. It's a great place and this list is a good one, but keep in mind folks, it's just a drop in the bucket of what there is to see and do here, and it's just one city! Thanks for posting this! Sending to quite a few friends and such!
Hi everywere iam from Aguascalientes it's a plasure your visit i Will recommen You some places like aguas termales it's a relaxing place, museo de la muerte, visit our pueblos mágicos like Calvillo and real de asientos, also cristo roto at san José de gracia it's really amazing, tunel de potrerito there are a vía ferrata just are four in all country and of course cerro el picacho sorry for My English bienvenidos a la tierra de la gente buena
"Ding..ling..ling the train!" Were you testing us, Adam...lol. Beautiful towns; I love to travel with you, Heidi and Adam. I am full (satisfecho) after each episode, but like Adam, I'm always ready for the next immersion of food and culture 😋
I was so excited to see you in my home state, Aguascalientes. I am from Calvillo. Although a small state, I actually find it very pleasant due to its cleanliness, calmness and small town vibe. Is true that there is not much to do here besides its fair, but its people is know for being the nicest people in Mexico. Wow, you actually know more than me about my state. You guys are awesome.
Great city!!! and also the public policies in Mexico sometimes start there, before they apply to all the country, 30 years since I went there, thank you for share this amazing video!!! Miss you guys!!!
awesome. NOTE for star wars fans: the bronze relief sculptures are actual historic people frozen in carbonite (...Han Solo in Empire strikes back ring a bell?). Some believe that Boba Fett is the Chupacabra and stores Mandalorian bounties in equatorial museums on planets in systems on the outer rim. But who chews on a styrofoam agua cup? chew chew! I give this one hug, yet extra cool cuz that green and white bug is sweet!
side note: bronze reliefs have been created for many years - some by famous artists and others behind the scenes. this is definately a place to see work by a master!
Seems like such a vibrant and colourful city! I didn't realize the city was famous for bull fighting, an interesting history I'm sure. I think I'd love Los Pintadios - looked soooo delicious! And Quinto Barrio seemed like a funky spot with even more delicious food. Great murals and street art too. Great highlights of the city.
Bienvenidos a mi ciudad talvez no es una ciudad colonial como Zacatecas, Morelia o Guanajuato pero mi ciudad tiene su encanto. Espero que se la pasen muy bien.
jose bronze sculptures were very impressive. european worthy. the museo de aguascalientes that was closed for them was small but very impressive both artwise and architecturally.
I’m so happy you tried my aunt & uncle restaurant! La mestiza!! Wow we been there many times never knew about the Museum! So nice to see that part of Aguascalientes! 🥰
La mestiza was my favoriate fast spot so far in AGU. Finally, authentic chilaquiles, not touristy junk. Not sure which museum you're referring to, but I thought the Museum de AGU that was closed for them was one of the highlights of my trip there. I felt like it was a small sliver of culture that you find everywhere in DF, but that can be hard to find in regional cites and pueblo magicos
Yo solía vivir en el Estado de México y ahí cerca hay un pueblo muy pero muy lindo lo deberían de visitar se llama Tepotzotlan esta súper lindo visítenlo y por cierto soy de Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
i was very empressed with jesus contreras bronze scupltures. Looked like european quality to me. very impressive inventory of his work in his little plaza next to theatre. would like to see more of his work and think i read it is all over mexico city
The maternal half of my ancestors are from Aguas Calientes. My maternal grandparents immigrated to the U.S. almost 100 years ago. They became U.S. citizens soon after arriving. My mom and all her siblings were born in the U.S. I'm excited to visit soon.
Born there ,native of the most traditional barrio,Barrio de San Marcos,2 blocks from Jardin de San Marcos,2 blocks from Monumental Plaza or Bull Fight arena,love my State, ♥️🙏♥️
Aguascalientes, the city where nothing happens, and I just love it because of that. Excellent weather, excellent food, good living standards, good urban planning, and excellent public services. It´s a great place for non-party people that want to live a fulfilling and quiet life.
visited AGU for 7 days this past summer since short direct flights from Texas. my favorite restaurant was El Atrio: authentic and recently relocated to AGU from SLP. I also liked Mesquite at the hot springs. Both were expensive by Mexico standards, but not bad by U.S. prices. My favorite bfast spot La Mestiza Yucatana that shown in video. Finally, someone who will serve me authentic chilaquiles, not a version for tourists. In general, i thought the food was better than most touristy parts of Mexico, and cheaper than QRO or other ex pat destinations since this is not a U.S. tourist hot spot so caters more to Mexican clientele, which I really prefer if I'm leaving the U.S.
Hey Guys, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay! I was born and raised in AGS. Now living in OC Ca. Watching your video brought me so many memories. I went to the elementary school right next to Museo de Aguascalientes, across the street from La iglesia de San Antonio. 😎 Saludos, un fuerte abrazo! Viva Aguascalientes!!
Thank you so much for your lovely videos, which have helped me to rekindle an appreciation for my husband’s homeland. I have to say, lately, your videos have become very fast-paced, which makes me kind of dizzy. I wanted to see more of the dancers! More of the artwork! More of the people. It was over way too soon. I’m happy to watch longer videos! But keep up the amazing work - yours are my favorites, and I look forward to them every week! Blessings. 🙏🏼💙
That train museum must be one of the best ones in Mexico for train nerds. Let's hope Mexico will invest on a high speed rail network -- some time later this century.
You have to go to the cenadurias they are unique and delicious usually their open around 7:00 pm and the enchiladas rojas are the best… Also don’t miss the thermal swimming pools, Balneario Valladolid is my favorite try to be there early around 7:30 am its a very good experience… the weather in the morning is really cool but the hot water of the pools makes it perfect.
The water is hot because is coming from a hot spring there is a lot of them there that’s why the state is called Aguascalientes. Two more things, if you get to stay there for a few more day the carnival of the small town of Pabellón which is about 45 minute drive north to Aguascalientes is also very nice. The other thing is Pabellon de Hidalgo is a very historical little town there is a museum and also it is located just below the mountains and on the top of the mountain there is a summit with a Cross at its peak it is called La Santa Cruz… at night it is lit blue.
The carnival at Pabellon is on November 20, I believe that it starts a few days before and also go to San Jose de Gracia there is man made Lake or a Dam and in the center there is an island where there is a giant Christ on the cross you can go there in a bote ride it is very cheap too.
I stayed for 7 days this past summer, and food is one of the main reasons i want to return. although i was very pleased with what great places i did find and want to return, i suspect that there are more great food places that the locals know but the internet sites have not caught up to yet
@@tonyabeeson3995 my mexican friend now living in u.s. visited his wife's aunt in AGU, and he did not like AGU. but i disagreed with him. i think his standards are too high because he knows so much about mexico and maybe become a little snobby now that he's experienced success in u.s.. for an american like me, looking for a inexpensive, non-touristy, safe, clean place to disappear into mexican surroundings and escape u.s., i've liked this place better than QRO. and other options in mexico have too many americans or are not safe or clean enough for me. AGU is not glamorous or as dense of colonial district as more touristy ex pat mexico destinations, but i'm ok with that. it is one of the fastest growing economies in mexico, because foriegn businesses see what i see and don't need ex pat tourism or glamour. i also like because short, direct flight from texas so easy to get in and out without hassle
We enjoy your videos so much. At the beginning of this year we spent 40 days in Mexico. Started in Ajijac, then Chapala, Tequila, from there I took a cab by myself to Magdalena and was able to convince a mine owner to let me mine opals for the day. After Tequila we stayed in historic Guadalajara for a few days. Throughout our travels people kept telling us we needed to see Guanajuato, so on the day we were to come home decided to extend our trip. My husband hired a young driver to take us all the way. Guanajuato is spectacular. Everyone should watch your video about it. I could go on and on about that trip. But we are booked for a second trip. We have one way tickets leaving the U.S. December 29. We will be in no hurry to rush home as we already have snow at our house and by then we could have snow up to the rafters. The first part of our trip is planned and booked. First stop is Mazatlan for New Years (5 days), then Ajijic (7 days), Guadalajara (7 days), Fly to Mexico City (+/- 14 days). From there ????? We were thinking perhaps Oaxaca and then from there fly to somewhere in the Yucatan. Then spend a month making our way down to Belize. If you have the time, I'd love to know where you would go back to if you were taking our path. Also I would love to surprise my sweet husband with an adventure or 2 or 3 along the way... Any ideas? I'm willing to do just about anything except skydiving, cliff jumping, ect. lol. Thank you for all your funny, honest, information packed videos. We wish you all the best. Safe travels.
Wow! Thank you so much for the support and sharing your story with us! Sounds like you have had quite an adventure already! Take your time for sure! It’s the best way to experience a place, especially one as big and diverse as Mexico 🇲🇽! You definitely have a great plan to start with! Definitely check out the beaches on the coast of Oaxaca. Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, Zipolite (the only nude beach in Mexico) and Huatulco. After that the Yukatan had so many wonderful places and cenotes. Cozumel is beautiful and had amazing scuba diving 🤿, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen and Xcaret is a must! Stay for the show at the end! If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Enjoy the adventure!
@@TheCountryCollectors Thank you for taking the time to respond. Looks like we are in for another big Mexico adventure. Do you travel outside of Mexico? For one of our 2024 trips we are planning a 60 day (+/-) South East Asia trip. Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
Really cool government building - the Mexicans are so much fun! Have you two found that it's easy to lose weight at higher altitudes? This is what my hubby and I have discovered anyway. In Acapulco I would just look at food at it would pile on, but in San Miguel de Allende we are not gaining weight no matter what we do?!

Buenos Dias Adam y Heidi.
Buenos días!
Hey Guys, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay! I was born and raised in AGS. Now living in OC Ca. Watching your video brought me so many memories. I went to the elementary school right next to Museo de Aguascalientes, across the street from La iglesia de San Antonio. 😎
Saludos, un fuerte abrazo!
Viva Aguascalientes!!
Oh wow that’s so cool! Glad we could bring back some memories!

Yes Thank you!
What a beautiful city, looks so European, so clean too, thanks for sharing this beautiful video, greetings from San Francisco California!!
Hi Gerado! Yes it is so beautiful and clean! thank you for watching!
@@TheCountryCollectors thanks for sharing it!!
I’m new in Aguascalientes and is beautiful, I like this city.
Glad to hear that!
Que simpáticos 😊
It was!
Thank you so much for your lovely videos, which have helped me to rekindle an appreciation for my husband’s homeland. I have to say, lately, your videos have become very fast-paced, which makes me kind of dizzy. I wanted to see more of the dancers! More of the artwork! More of the people. It was over way too soon. I’m happy to watch longer videos! But keep up the amazing work - yours are my favorites, and I look forward to them every week! Blessings. 🙏🏼💙
Sorry you feel that way! They are more so an overview of our time spent in a place than a deep dive. I do understand what you’re saying.
Honestly, they should be on the Travel and/or History channels.
That’s a really sweet comment!
Do think you guys will stay in Mexico permanently or return to the U.S. as you age?
Mexico is just our first stop! We never planned to be here this long. Going to explore other countries as well.
Good morning country collectors 🎉
Good morning Tammy!
Tomorrow we leave to go there we wake up at 2 am we are going for a family visit
Have a great trip!
You guys are the best part of my Sunday morning! I’m curious. Sometimes you use local guides and sometimes not. When do you choose to use a guide?
Hi! We use a guide when it’s needed. More so just in places you have to have a guide or where they can offer us a lot of great info.
@@TheCountryCollectors thank you!
That train museum must be one of the best ones in Mexico for train nerds. Let's hope Mexico will invest on a high speed rail network -- some time later this century.
That would be great!

Hola 👋 Like #1!!!...🇲🇽🇺🇸❤️🤭🤗😉
Thank you Luis!
@@TheCountryCollectors I told you I could not wait to watch the video 😜😎🥰🤗😉
We hope you enjoyed it!
@@TheCountryCollectors I sure did!!!🥰🤗😉
Is the bull ring still operating? How often?
🤷
I like how you don't shy away from talking about controversial subjects because it is just a fact of the culture and tradition there like you said.
Exactly.
I love My country i want to visit Aguascalientes this year
We hope you can!
🙌🏽
Good morning
High five 👋 from beach 🏝️ life
Thank you
You have to go to the cenadurias they are unique and delicious usually their open around 7:00 pm and the enchiladas rojas are the best…
Also don’t miss the thermal swimming pools, Balneario Valladolid is my favorite try to be there early around 7:30 am its a very good experience… the weather in the morning is really cool but the hot water of the pools makes it perfect.
Oh wow thank you for this!! We appreciate it!
The water is hot because is coming from a hot spring there is a lot of them there that’s why the state is called Aguascalientes.
Two more things, if you get to stay there for a few more day the carnival of the small town of Pabellón which is about 45 minute drive north to Aguascalientes is also very nice.
The other thing is Pabellon de Hidalgo is a very historical little town there is a museum and also it is located just below the mountains and on the top of the mountain there is a summit with a Cross at its peak it is called La Santa Cruz… at night it is lit blue.
The carnival at Pabellon is on November 20, I believe that it starts a few days before and also go to
San Jose de Gracia there is man made Lake or a Dam and in the center there is an island where there is a giant Christ on the cross you can go there in a bote ride it is very cheap too.
Hugbug 🎉

Great video and love your Mexico shirt!
Thank you
AWESOME STATE THATS NOT VERY WELL KNOW BUT ITS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Yes it is!
Such a beautiful city.......the food looked amazing
I stayed for 7 days this past summer, and food is one of the main reasons i want to return. although i was very pleased with what great places i did find and want to return, i suspect that there are more great food places that the locals know but the internet sites have not caught up to yet
Hey Tonya! It was!
Yes that is true.
@game time so awesome....my husband family is originally from Aquascallentes. So he's dieing to visit there at some point
@@tonyabeeson3995 my mexican friend now living in u.s. visited his wife's aunt in AGU, and he did not like AGU. but i disagreed with him. i think his standards are too high because he knows so much about mexico and maybe become a little snobby now that he's experienced success in u.s.. for an american like me, looking for a inexpensive, non-touristy, safe, clean place to disappear into mexican surroundings and escape u.s., i've liked this place better than QRO. and other options in mexico have too many americans or are not safe or clean enough for me. AGU is not glamorous or as dense of colonial district as more touristy ex pat mexico destinations, but i'm ok with that. it is one of the fastest growing economies in mexico, because foriegn businesses see what i see and don't need ex pat tourism or glamour. i also like because short, direct flight from texas so easy to get in and out without hassle
That government palace was so beautiful! Thanks again for the historical information, it really adds to the video. That looks like a nice city.
Hey Cindy! We had a great time there!
The biker was so fun 😂
Haha he was just tooting his horn!
@@TheCountryCollectors lmao … literally and figuratively hahaha
Haha 😆
We enjoy your videos so much. At the beginning of this year we spent 40 days in Mexico. Started in Ajijac, then Chapala, Tequila, from there I took a cab by myself to Magdalena and was able to convince a mine owner to let me mine opals for the day. After Tequila we stayed in historic Guadalajara for a few days. Throughout our travels people kept telling us we needed to see Guanajuato, so on the day we were to come home decided to extend our trip. My husband hired a young driver to take us all the way. Guanajuato is spectacular. Everyone should watch your video about it. I could go on and on about that trip. But we are booked for a second trip.
We have one way tickets leaving the U.S. December 29. We will be in no hurry to rush home as we already have snow at our house and by then we could have snow up to the rafters. The first part of our trip is planned and booked. First stop is Mazatlan for New Years (5 days), then Ajijic (7 days), Guadalajara (7 days), Fly to Mexico City (+/- 14 days). From there ????? We were thinking perhaps Oaxaca and then from there fly to somewhere in the Yucatan. Then spend a month making our way down to Belize. If you have the time, I'd love to know where you would go back to if you were taking our path. Also I would love to surprise my sweet husband with an adventure or 2 or 3 along the way... Any ideas? I'm willing to do just about anything except skydiving, cliff jumping, ect. lol. Thank you for all your funny, honest, information packed videos. We wish you all the best. Safe travels.
Wow! Thank you so much for the support and sharing your story with us! Sounds like you have had quite an adventure already! Take your time for sure! It’s the best way to experience a place, especially one as big and diverse as Mexico 🇲🇽! You definitely have a great plan to start with! Definitely check out the beaches on the coast of Oaxaca. Puerto Escondido, Mazunte, Zipolite (the only nude beach in Mexico) and Huatulco. After that the Yukatan had so many wonderful places and cenotes. Cozumel is beautiful and had amazing scuba diving 🤿, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen and Xcaret is a must! Stay for the show at the end! If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Enjoy the adventure!
@@TheCountryCollectors Thank you for taking the time to respond. Looks like we are in for another big Mexico adventure. Do you travel outside of Mexico? For one of our 2024 trips we are planning a 60 day (+/-) South East Asia trip. Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
Really cool government building - the Mexicans are so much fun! Have you two found that it's easy to lose weight at higher altitudes? This is what my hubby and I have discovered anyway. In Acapulco I would just look at food at it would pile on, but in San Miguel de Allende we are not gaining weight no matter what we do?!
Yeah for sure! Your body is probably working harder up there!
@@TheCountryCollectors Yeah, we think it has sped up our metabolism living up here☺
@@expathomesharemexico that’s amazing!!
