We've found this huge, diverse land to be an inexhaustible source not only of beachy vacation fun but urban sophistication; folkloric fabulousness; spellbinding historic and archaeological sites; culinary wonders; and mucho, mucho más...

This onetime fishing village (pop. around 5,000) on the Costa Nayarit (the Pacific coast of Nayarit state), an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, today is known as one of the best surfing destinations in the world as well as a favorite of backpackers looking for adventure on a budget. On top of that, Sayulita is known for good eating, vibrant nightlife, and "boho energy," and the offerings on its colorful streets are rounded out by a yoga scene and cool little boutiques. (Some would say, in fact,…
Read more…Juan Carlos Fonseca Mata In this vast metropolis of more than 20 million people, Jewish life is both historic and contemporary. The modern community largely dates from the early 20th century, when Jews arrived from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The Sinagoga Monte Sinaí, opened in 1923 by Sephardim from Syria and Lebanon, reflects the diversity of Mexico’s Jewish population and the way different traditions took root side by side in the capital. Located on Calle Justo Serra in the historic…
Read more…Paolo Lucciola Some of the world’s most famous ruins can be found in this expansive, steamy lowland peninsula covering the southern Mexican states of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo (as well as, many people don’t realise, northern Belize and the Guatemalan state of Petén, home to Tikal). The two best known, Chichén Itzá and Tulum, are celebrated for a reason. But if you’re particularly fascinated, as I am, with the Mundo Maya, you’ll want to add several more days to your visit here, as…
Read more…pexels My hometown offers a great mix of modern celebrations and cultural traditions, and on NYE the main celebration happens in downtown´s huge Zócalo Square, which comes alive with concerts, fireworks, food stands, and of course the countdown to midnight. But there´s also plenty of stylish partying elsewhere, in fun neighborhoods like Condesa, Roma, and Polanco. And by the way, the big local tradition here is eating 12 grapes at midnight, (and take it from me, it´s harder than it sounds!).…

Mr. Lamkin, I am catching up on things today after a very busy Christmas holiday. I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
Today the Philadelphia area is cold and covered with snow, but your 360-degree panorama warmed me up! Thank you for sharing this.
This is our 2nd generation family business in a typical Mexican neighborhood (although there is an art school from Florence, Italy across the street!) but Cuernavaca is a city, not a small town, and a famous resort where Mexicans from Mexico City have their weekend homes, so there are state-of the art services, attractions, and cultural events happening all the time as any vibrant and interesting city might offer, but the cost of living here is not the same as small towns across Mexico. You might want to check out the State Tourism site at www.morelostravel.com to see what our state has to offer.
You might want to try the City of Eternal Spring which is in the historical highlands of central Mexico about 1 hr. from Mexico City. I have lived here for 25 yrs, coming from California and the weather is unbelievable-around 70-75° yearlong. We have a large expat community that is very active in volunteer work, music, art, theater, cooking, and the foreign community has a diverse cultural background, (not just Americans) of French, Swiss, Canadians, Dutch, Japanese, Israelis, Chinese, Italians,-well, you get the picture. Cuernavaca, Morelos has a history dating back 4,000 years and is the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution and Emiliano Zapata. The UN World Heritage Site, Xochicalco, is one of the fascinating places to visit, as too the Colonial Historic Center with it´s famous Cortez Palace now the Cuahnauhac Museum, Borda Gardens of Austrian Emperor Maxmillian and Carlota and numerous 16th Century Haciendas, Cathedrals, and Monasteries. Since every day is sunny, golf addicts abound as too sport enthusiasts of all kinds. Check out our authentic Meican affordable homes of Las Villas on http://www.cuernavaca-villas.com
We are looking for place to spend Jan.-Feb. Expat community or typically local environment. Ideally, a property we can take care of in exchange for reduced rent, but all offers welcome.
