🇲🇽 TORREÓN, COAHUILA | Mexico's Most INCREDIBLE CITY! | Museo del FERROCARRIL | MEXICO TRAVEL 2022

🇲🇽 TORREÓN, MEXICO - Welcome back to Torreón, Coahuila, one of my favourite cities in Mexico! This is Part 24 of my 2022 Mexico Travel series! I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in Northern Mexico, previously filming 2 videos in Torreón in 2021, in addition to Durango, Nombre de Dios, Puente de Ojuela, Matamoros, Gómez Palacio and Lerdo. An INCREDIBLE area of Mexico!
Torreón can often be seen as just another regular, industrial city without the history of central and southern Mexico. Yes, it’s a younger city, but that doesn't mean it doesn’t have interesting history or decent food. In fact, the comida Mexicana (Mexican food) I’ve had here is the BEST I’ve had in Mexico (I’m not even joking!).
We visit Bosque Venustiano Carranza, Casa Ricardo Montalbán, Casa del Cerro, Museo del Ferrocarril (insane), and old classics Mercado Alianza, Paseo de Morelos, the Teleferico and Cristo de la Noas! Dios Mío! As you can see, there are so many things to do in Torreón!
You’re treated like a local in Torreón; there are very few tourists so you’re treated like a local… trust me - Something you cannot experience in a tourist area. People from Torreón are, as I say, ICONIC!
If you’re thinking of becoming expats in Mexico or moving to Mexico, you don’t have to move to San Miguel de Allende or Guanajuato. Somewhere like Torreón may not be traditionally ‘pretty’, but it still has a tremendous amount to offer!
Is this the most incredible city in Mexico?

🇺🇸 I hope you enjoyed the final part of my Torreón trilogy! You can check out the first 2 parts in addition to all the videos from 2021 in Coahuila and Durango! There are more videos to come from the area... did someone say Parras and Mapimí? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4eZlnaurNl6d6c 🇲🇽 ¡Espero que hayan disfrutado la parte final de mi trilogía Torreón! ¡Puedes ver las 2 primeras partes además de todos los videos del 2021 en Coahuila y Durango!

Donde puedo verte para darte un recuerdo?. Saludos.

Are you a spy 😁? Just asking

[@jeffjeff1771]

I love the way you talk about my hometown, also glad you visit it so frequently dude. 👍😉

[@davidostrowski679]

It's been good to be back! The next one is very different in that it's over the east side near airport but it's to show the industrial side and really that every city has an industrial side, it's just Torreon just seems to be associated with it more so people think it's 'ugly'!

[@davidostrowski679]

for who exactly

[@dccoulthard]

I think the reason that you are treated like a local is because you actually take the time to show that you care about the place. I'm considering moving to Paris, and it's amazing how many English-speaking "expats" there are who know nothing about French culture, politics, history, sports, etc. Now, I'm not saying that someone needs to know all of that, but it does show that you have interest in the place besides just "living a better lifestyle". I think you have taken the time to actually understand Mexico, and I think that's what people respect.

[@davidostrowski679]

Great insight Mr! I know what you mean, I feel like that about moving to Poland, honestly at the present moment in time I'm not well-equipped in terms of Polish history and language, but assuming I move there, learning more is top of my agenda. It makes such a difference. Astronomical. For the life of me I cannot understand why someone would move somewhere simply to benefit in some way without making an effort to integrate!

[@ruthsanchez378]

Yes tht si what i respect from this material, his empathy with the place...the people nd lifestyle....i do appreciate the way he looks our place and how he shows it all the world...

Thanks Amigo David for showing our city, you are now one of us, I like your videos because you like the city not for turístic sites here, but because you like the people , the essence and for me is brilliantl. A lot of people don't like cities like Torreón but they don't know who we are, what we do. I really appreciate you, thanks for coming again. You are a beautiful person and don't forget you are now one of us 👍🏻🙂🙂💛

[@davidostrowski679]

Gracias Alberto! I think if I'd come here 6 years ago I would be more focused on tourist sites but as I said in this video that's just not what I want anymore (it ties in with me moving back to Europe and not travelling anymore). I think the magic of Torreón and the fact it's not seen as a 'tourist city' is that you can come here for a normal life, but also discover the tourist aspect at the same time, unlike Guanajuato for example where I feel even if I lived there, there would still be this tourist aspect, especially as a foreigner. I feel like Torreón gives you the opportunity to be a local. I'm really going to miss it when I leave!

[@romupaty05]

Ver esto es muy bonito para mí ya que soy originaria de torreón 💜. Y ver qué demuestras de esta manera mi hogar es muy bonito ya que no muchos turistas vienen tanto por aquí pero verte a ti disfrutarlo hace que se me llene el corazón de alegría. Gracias por mostrar la ciudad a más personas.

Hi I am from Torreón and it is kin of weird seeing someone liking my city this much, also kind of encouraging because my tesis is about hospitality and tourism in Torreón so yea thanks for this

[@davidostrowski679]

That's awesome about the thesis! I know how you feel, I feel the same when someone goes to London and loves it JAJA. I guess when we grow up or live somewhere we know the bad points as well as the good. It's kind of how I feel about Mexico City now after spending so much time there. I mean it's great for a short visit but I definitely couldn't live there. I'm not at that stage with Torreón yet!

You are doing justice to Torreon and the northern part of México without the sensationalism portrayed everywhere else! Great job like always! Hasta la próxima!✌

Totally very different! I think this is why I'm not a big fan of tourist places! There are no awkward moments here where people feel the need to try and speak English with me, it's not necessary. ESPANOL SIEMPRE!

[@Vancouver_Dan]

We went to Mazatlán in June when we knew that there would be no snow birds in town and that most of the tourists would be Mexican nationals. One happy consequence was that we met several very friendly nationals - including a very nice young couple from Torreon who, like us, were celebrating their anniversary. (Their English was much better than our Spanish - she had lived in the USA at one point and he worked for a USA call centre). I might have mentioned this before - but when I told them that I knew about Torreon because of your videos last year - they said that they had seen them. So congrats on your celeb status - you deserve it for all the images and information you have shared about areas of Mexico that do not attract influencer attention. I am waiting for you to be adopted as a local, throw out your EU passport and move in with a nice abuela, a mexidog and two cats.

[@davidostrowski679]

It took me about 10 minutes to realise what you meant by snowbirds. It's been a long week LOL. That EU passport is being protected like a beautiful fluffy angel!

David, Torreon's history is very interesting, as I'm pretty sure you already know. From its beggining, the city was populated by people from all around the world, mexican from north and south, libanese, chinese, european, americans. Also, its common to have people from other places here, like indsutry managers or football players, or inmigrants, so we are very acostumed to people from all around, and as you tell, there aren't too much turists over here, so, all are very well received. Welcome, and I hope you are doing well in this year heat wave.

[@davidostrowski679]

Thanks Victor! Yes I love the multicultural history! In one of the videos from last year there's a bit at the Teatro Isauro Martinez where the guide tells me about some of that history and after that I went to the mosque.

Hola David trate de ver tu vídeo lo más que pude en inglés ya que lo estoy practicando ,pero ame este este clip me gustó y es cierto no tratamos a los turistas como turistas si no como locales de nuestra ciudad, me mucho gusto que siga encontrando videos de mi hermosa comarca lagunera

I agree 100% with your comment about touristy areas and scams. I think two things happen - first, people just see you as chump to extract money from (whether through time shares, tequila tastings, illegal drugs, etc). Second, the tourists are so rude and obnoxious that the locals treat extranjeros with contempt or at least keep them at arms length. Anyway - Torreon looks great. Thank you for this1

[@davidostrowski679]

Totally, chumps! That's exactly how we are often seen. You just don't that in Torreon because I think it's more SHOCK that an extranjero would even bother!

Hay una reserva ecológica en el Ejido La Flor de Jimulco en el municipio de Torreón. Esta a faldas de la sierra, es un lugar muy hermoso que te recomiendo. También lo llaman El Cañón de Jimulco. Y que lindo es que te encante mi Torreón.

I really like your videos about torreon, I was twice there. And I plan to go there twice this year again.

[@manuelalvarado1313]

10/10 Moved to Torreon about 7 years ago. Definitely fun to go around. Also, I don't remember which days exactly but there are some times where El Bosque turns into this mini fair. There's a lot of food stands, ferris rides, etc. And def recommend going to the Alameda at night, that's when it comes to life.

[@davidostrowski679]

Yes always very lively at night! Unfortunately nearly impossible to film at that time due to low light and copyrighted music, but I've been out a lot! (no one believes me if its not in a video LOL)

VIVA TORREÓN, un abrazo amigo, siempre bienvenido a esta ciudad.

[@victorg.4245]

For future tourists of this beautiful city. I currently live in Torreon and for those who enjoy hiking in the mountains, there is a place called the Torreon Heliport, which is the highest mountain point that can be reached in our region. If you want help to go through it, just contact me, I do not charge you anything.

@@lionelgomez8125 Yo estuve en Las Margaritas hace seis meses. Es la colonia de a un lado. La verdad no está nada mal, aunque si bien ya es colonia de clase media, se vive muy bien.

[@MariaPerez-pl9tc]

Hola David, Me gusta el nombre NorMex, muy original de tu parte...Muy poca gente viaja a ciudades como Torreón, Gomez Palacio, Lerdo, Matamoros y Mapimi!! como tu lo hiciste, es extraordinario que un caballero Ingles se atrevió a viajar a estos lugares y no a los lugares turísticos como Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, etc, etc....Eres lo que los Mexicanos llamamos "A todo Dar"...Recuerda que siempre serás Bienvenido a Mexico, especialmente al Triangulo de NorMex.....Saludos y Bendiciones de una Lagunera Torreonense ....Dios te Cuide Siempre...
