Exploring Mexico's Most Underrated City? 🤔 San Luis Potosí Walking Tour w/ Niko (Journal of Nomads)

May 18, 2021 / VLOG NO. 181 - Today we are exploring San Luis Potosí; is it Mexico's Most Underrated City? Come with us on this walking tour and find out! I spent the entire day walking around the historic city center and taking in all of my surroundings. I was amazed at how beautiful this city was. There are so many interesting corners and plazas to explore, and today I feature my friend Niko (formerly part of Journal of Nomads) as he takes me around the city and shows me what San Luis has to offer. Hope you all are enjoying the Mexico content so far!

That accordion sound is SOOO Mexico for me. I love San Luis, I go yearly to see my wife's family. Glad you got to catch up with Niko, great dude.

[@HereBeBarr]

Enchiladas Potosinas oh man :) Love it.

[@DiscoverWithDima]

I think a trip back to SLP just for that alone so worth it hahaha

10:25 esquites are really good street snack, the bad news, they are used to prepare with bad quality cheese, good vid.

[@mimar5137]

Armadillo De Los Infantes good spot to visit on the weekends or any of it's small ghost town village especially during their religious holidays such as Temazcal for amazing hiking.

You got the parking in el panorama

[@jonathansa848]

5:46 those pieces are not handmade, (90%) most of them are made in China. Many years ago, they sold handmade products but, they are a little bit expensive, so people like you (foreigner) come to México and think everything need to be cheap, now you can find "cheap" products with "low" quality. There are some people still made this art, but you probably should dig deeper in downtown's streets (small city).

Next time you come to San Luis Potosí, try to go to La Parroquia restaurant, nothing fancy but it’s a classic.

[@jonathansa848]

7:07 wrong, enchilada potosina was a very good tradicional dish, but now it's just a simple colored red tortilla (maybe with a little bit chili with cheap cheese and fried with cooking oil.

[@patricialaureles9475]

I couldn't hear a lot of the conversations. I hope you can make a better video with sound.

[@DiscoverWithDima]

What device are you watching this on? I had no problem hearing it on multiple devices I own.

[@IngenieroLeonardoRazo]

Y yo que creía que a nadie le gusta mi San Luis :v

[@LuisGarcia-xm8wh]

No sabes lo que dices ! Los potosinos tienen pésima tii estima es una ciudad preciosa y un estado grandioso, yo viví ahí y en el norte. El norte es verdaderamente horrible sin nada que hacer… san luis es el lugar que desearía vivir ahí pero no se ha cumplido mi sueño
