Great article. My wife and I have taken multiple trips to different parts of Mexico over the years. We are finally retired and looking forward to spending our winter in Mexico (first of many more, I hope). Lots of helpful information in this series. We will be RVing down the pacific coast this time and looking forward to some of the many beautiful places Mexico has to offer.

Hi Brock,

We did cover Puebla in an earlier article in this series – alongside dozens of other great Mexican destinations. Please feel free to check out the rest of our Where to Live in Mexico Guide for deeper analysis of the pros and cons of expat living across the country!

This guide is a great service for those living here and those weighing a move to Mexico. However, you’re not considering an environmental factor (at least one) that impacts everyone of us (being the electrical beings that we are), and that is the level of EM Radiation in many of these cities. That is the density of cell towers and cell phone population connecting to them. If you live in an adobe structure or heavy cement building the Radio Frequencies are probably blocked, but what’s the situation outdoors? About 36% of the population is suffering health effects (headaches, sleep disorder, etc) from this pollutant we can’t see, hear, or smell. I’m lucky to have found a small, beautiful city in the mountains that has minimal ambient EMR–and I use an ethernet cord behind 30″ adobe walls. If they roll out 5G in Mexico every single one of us will be suffering–the children (and pets) first!

I think I’ve seen walking poles twice in ten years and those were hikers. Only the fit live there given the precarious sidewalks and cobblestone streets. You’ll need another reason to hate in SMA.

You’ve probably seen enough pueblos magicos. Once they started the 2nd round, they started awarding it to impoverished areas they were hoping to improve with tourism, it bore no relation to any kind of magic. The 3rd round was a joke and completely undercut the success and integrity of the Pueblo Magico the 1st time around. Now people are going to go to one of the disappointing places and stop trying after that, so they’ve managed to ruin it for everyone.

Big cities like Mexico and Guadalajara are fine to visit but, unless you like city life will avoid them like the plague. I like a lot of the small towns in the interior but they can get pretty chilly in winter. Lots of small coastal towns within an hour or two of larger centers (Costco and major shopping) that are quite livable. You may have to escape to the interior or US or Canada in the summer to reduce the time in the heat and humidity.

You’re supposed to click on the links and go read the other articles that are more fleshed out.

Also Fodors writers in 2003 got paid a load of money to write destination guides compared to what anyone earns for that now in 2024, let alone journalists and writers for a very niche online newspaper with a very limited staff and budget.

This is also the first edition. This will allow them to update and expand it every year, with the groundwork already done.

I’m not here to tell you that it’s good, but I am here to tell you that for the tiny sums of money involved to produce this content, it’s fine.
