    I can't say for the actual city of Veracruz, but the state of Veracruz has the second largest population of Afro-Mexicans in the country after the state of Guerrero (according to the last census, Mexico has at least 2.5 million black people in the country though the true number is likely much higher).

      Gtfo Afro-Saxon why is it so pressing for you to see yourself as part of the Spanish speaking world? The reality is that we realize there are some who have Afro-centric features but it’s not what they base their entire identity around.

    • @Reynegrotravelz

      Because there's African descended people in your country. Does it bother you that much? Are you a prejudice. African people where taken all over the world during slave trade if your ancestors didn't accept slaves there would be none in your country. and if spanish people didn't raid rape and pillage your country. Mexicans are naturally very brown people. Azteca and Mayan where not wettos or wettas dummy.

      When you go to the DR and if you are staying in Santo Domingo. I recommend to stay in the neighborhoods I usually stay in.. I like Airbnb in the Bella vista, el million, el naci, piantini, elvaristo Morales, los caciscagos, those are my favorite area of the city. You'll love it. Cheers

    You are doing serious traveling. Veracruz is not that close to Guadalajara especially by bus. But since you were in Mexico City, I assumed you checked it while you were there. Hopefully you checked out Puebla since it’s also somewhat close to Mexico City.
