Hola Reece, Senor and I live in the wonderful town of Alamos. A very old Spanish colonial town, rich in history and architecture.... a great place to visit!
we have lived here going on four years.....no problems...have left our car on the street in front of house for that long..never any problems...SMA might seem a little "old" for you guys, but there is a lot to do or nothing.....and there is a growing number of people living here in your age bracket....need young people....many festivals all year Sept is good....COME DOWN...Bill
Hi Reece,
I always considered myself a beach bum, but I moved to San Miguel over 6 years ago and love it. From central Mex I'm never all that far away to visit a beach when the urge strikes. Working visas can be a bit tricky depending on what you want to do and how the powers that be feel it will impact the local workers, but they are not impossible to obtain. Do you have an idea of the type of work you would eventually like to do? If not, no worries, ideas will present themselves once you're settled. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about life in SMA if it's an area you're considering in your search. Best -- and welcome.
I'm sure you are very proud of Contador, the winner of the prestigious Tour du France; a superb race and racer. This is a great site. Have you ever been to Puerto Vallarta or Mexico? We have many friends there from all over the globe. We welcome you as a friend.
Bienvenidos!

HI Reece, Welcome to my space mexico. Please join our bucerias group if you are interested. Bucerias is located 20 minutes North of Puerto Vallarta and is a lovely town with a great mix of Mexicans, Canadians and Americans. I notice you are from Spain. Do you spend time in Mexico?

I've never visited Spain but I hear it is a beautiful country. Perhaps once day I will have the time to do some traveling to your fair city. Welcome to Mexico-My Space.
yes we need to find work eventually but are ok for a couple of years yet. we dont want to live in a remote fishing village but not somewhere too busy plus safety is an issue as we have all heard about the horror stories in mexico, so somewhere in the middle is what were after not too hectic and not too quiet
Where you settle depends on your needs in life. Do you want to work and if so, in what capacity? There are visa questions to be resolved as well when you ask that question. What kind of lifestyle are you looking for? Since my husband and I are 62, the lifestyle we want probably isn't the same as yours. Check out the locations on our website, that should give you a clue. Then wait for others to comment. Also do your own research and find links on other forums. Question. Question. Question. And then visit each location before you even think about settling in.
I thought it might be interesting to see what Mexican products we've discovered that we can no longer live without having in the pantry. I can start off with 3:
1. Can't live without having Bufalo Chipotle Salsa in the 'frig. It comes in a slender...
It is considered rude in Mexico to answer QUE!!??? WHAT?
if someone calls you...
You are taught when you are little that is is good manners to answer " mande"?? Mande is from the verb MANDAR - which means to send, or to tell someone what to do ......

"Manday" is like "Pardon me" or "Could you repeat that"
And "el guero" means something like "blondie" (masculine)
Just a couple of the little words and sayings I've picked up...
A fun way to pick up some language skills, let's post our favorite Mexican sayings. I've actually gotten lots of vocabulary this way and you can amaze your Mexican friends with your knowledge of the culture.
Be sure to bring money to buy your holiday gifts!

Hi Carol,

If you’re looking for certified organic products in Los Cabos, you’re in luck. Ironically, we’re one of the worlds’ leading producers of organic herbs (so I’m told) but finding organic produce in the markets can be a challenge. Unless it’s Saturda...
