I traveling mexico, at the moment i am at Aguascalientes: 1. its very clean compared to Guadalajara. 2.its much cheaper to rent/food 3. Nicest mexican locals I meet so far. 4. its much more relaxed, cars do stop for you. 5.its very walkable, I have not took a single bus or uber. 6. Weather is absolutely perfect, sunny, dry and coolish. 7.cops everywhere and it has good safety.

I'm an American living in Arizona, and I spent a month in Aquascalientes in the fall of 2023. It was my last stop during a 6 month visit to Mexico, having spent time in seven other cities, mostly in the central region. I found it to be beautiful, safe, very clean, loaded with good restaurants and cultural venues, and filled with hospitable people. Aquascalientes and Guanajuato were the highlights of my adventure.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Sounds like you had a great time! Aquascalientes is indeed a hidden gem.

[@aknudsen93]

This looks like a beautiful city. I am from Chicago and love the idea of moving to a smaller city. Also, the climate seems very temperate. Thank you for sharing!

[@txfeedwatcher9861]

I love Aquas and have been thinking of relocating there from the other city I live in here in Mexico. Its a favorite because there are almost no gringos there. I hope this promo video doesn't cause an influx and drive up inflation.

Aguascalientes is a beautiful city. Very walkable in most places. The centro historico is nice. -Marc

[@poeryudo]

My wife and I moved to Aguascalientes a month ago, and we love it!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Nice! What made you decide on Aguascalientes

[@poeryudo]

@MexicoRelocationGuide Soooooo many reasons really. Nice people, amazing climate, very walkable, good public transport (once you learn the busses), delicious food, and sooooo much more!

[@pedrozatravel]

I like Aguascalientes but two things you need to know is Aguascalientes does have traffic and in late March there is the Feria de San Marcos and the entire city turns into the largest party in all of Mexico, it is all good if you like to party, but a lot of locals leave during that time.

[@cindyk3076]

What a great look at this city, thanks!

[@agl5132]

I lived in CDMX three years ago and loved it. I'm now in Europe but I would definitely check this area out if I moved back.

Al fin! Al fin voltean a ver a Aguascalientes... La ciudad menos valorada, pero la mejor para vivir.

[@sandys62]

We've driven through Aguascalientes a couple of times on our way to Bucerias, and the first thing that we noticed was how clean it was (Unfortunately, other more touristy places can be quite littered, but most of this is from the tourists and not the Mexicans😒). Something we didn't know is how big this place is. Because we just kept to the main highway that went through a pretty section of the city that had lots of shops, restaurants and plazas, we thought we were going through the main part of the city, like their downtown or main drag. I guess we'll have to go exploring the next time we're down😊. When we stopped for a bite to eat, we found that the people were very friendly, which seems to be norm in Mexico.

i have visited aguascalientes that past 3 summers for about a week each to escape the texas heat. the direct flights from texas are very convenient. i like the AGU airport better than CDMX or Queretaro airport the lack of tourists makes me feel like i'm living in mexico rather than south florida or so cal. i get to practice my spanish, the prices remain mexican not american (i feel QRO is a bit pricey for El Bajio and do not bother with places where americans flock to in Yucatan and Pacific coast) and few tourist traps like in most destinations for Americans in Mexico (i felt a QRO was a little more touristy than AGU, but i think QRO had better hotels that suited me). not only are there no american tourists, but also there are no european tourists which is unusual since europeans are more adventurous travelers than U.S. tourists (and very few mexican tourists) maybe slightly fewer things of interest to see than QRO, and not a UNESCO site like QRO except for 1 street in AGU. but enough stuff for me to feel like i'm in a former european colony along with some modern conveniences. not as lively as CDMX and maybe even QRO, but also more peaceful and calm than CDMX no signs of indigenous culture except for some jose contreras sculptures so that is unfortunate, but i enjoyed visiting the wineries and haciendas outside of the city. i also enjoyed the art museums in AGU and there are some live music performances sometimes around the plaza mayor safety and cleanliness are table stakes for me so that eliminates many cities like morelia (because michoacan can be risky), guanajuato (some risk also outside city) and all cities in states that are deemed risky on the u.s. state department travel advisory map of mexico. i noticed a lot of armed police my first year at plaza mayor in AGU, but not in the following 2 years. regardless, i find the centro safe i walk alot so haven't experienced traffic even on excursions outside of city. haven't figured out yovoy bus system yet, but have tried it and hope to learn more in future visits. i wish they would be bold and invest in light rail, streetcar or subway (that would really distinguish AGU from other cities in el bajio and reflect AGU's pro business sensibilities) slowly finding my favorite places to eat where locals dine (internet sites like trip advisor are not reliable). unfortunately, my favorite restaurant closed, but i've found plenty of other options. yes, AGU is very dry. nearly no rain in over 2 years prior to this past summer, but they had great rain this past summer and the countryside was green and verdant in wine country and the haciendas. i hope to visit again in future and see if i'm a good fit for AGU

How's the air quality?

[@RobertoAlvidrez-xk9jo]

Very clean it's not like LA or Mexico city..

[@ge3877]

Ive been to Aguascalientes many times. I have bad asthma. I have never had any trouble breathing there unlike some other areas of Mexico. The air actually feels very fresh. It’s a lovely town.

[@RobertoAlvidrez-xk9jo]

@@ge3877 the young lady she is from alemania and she moved to mexico city she said when she lived in her own country she suffered something of kind same but now she never suffered she felt great?

[@carlostarantinopaz4973]

You forgot to show a video of places like Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion, Insurgentes, Potreros del Oeste, Pilar Blanco (and many others), which have many problems with violence, murders and drugs, or the problem of motorcycle gangs that roam the city on weekends without the authorities being able to contain them. Another problem that you don't mention in this video, is the serious water shortage that Aguascalientes is currently experiencing, which the municipality has not resolved after a year of taking possession of the water supply, and if we add to that the excessive growth of new settlements (fraccionamientos) approved with bribes by the PAN government, things don't look good with respect to water supply. By the way, if you are going to rent or buy a house, you have to make sure that it has something we call "cistena o aljibe", which is a large tank on the floor (preferably the garage) to store water and raise it to the tank that is above the house with a pump it because in most of Aguascalientes the water pressure is quite bad.

El mamador de mamadores a llegado jajajaja.ridiculo.

[@retiredat60.5]

Nice video! A friend visited there when my former company had some support based there. It sounds great, but with the small ex-pat presence I am guessing being fluent n Spanish is pretty much necessary. I am willing to learn, but not necessarily confident in my ability to do so....

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

you’ll definitely have a much easier time living in Aguascalientes if you know at least basic Spanish. Otherwise you’ll have to use a translator for most things

[@retiredat60.5]

@@MexicoRelocationGuide Thanks for the reply....that is what I thought.

[@joanndavis4843]

Aquascaliente seems like a nice state (Yes, a city too. It's both). But the streets and roads need a lot of work. I can see why auto shops are a big business there.

[@EarthAngel1111x]

[@mkalihashiki12]

When you say centro houses that "need a bit of work", what do you mean exactly? Plumbing work, electrical work, structural work? Also given that it's not a big "expat" location, do you know of Spanish language schools?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

we didn’t go inside so we don’t know the extent of the work needed. Just judging from the exterior 😀 saludos

[@JBlinky67]

How's the water supply?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Water shortages can be common during the drought season depending where you live, whether you’re building is storing water or not. Luckily the whole country has gotten a lot of rain this year.

[@JBlinky67]

@@MexicoRelocationGuide Are there ares that don't have shortage issues?

[@boink800]

@@JBlinky67 Guadalajara and much of the State of Jalisco gets a lot of rain ... around 1200 mm every year. Aguacalientes is much drier, it only gets less than half of that (much like Los Angeles). However, that rain comes only in the rainy season. There is six months of the dry season

[@jackwilliams9114]

I was surprised to see how little traffic there is compared to other metro areas in Mexico with a population of over one million.

[@ubaldohernandez4116]

@@jackwilliams9114 actually there is a lot of traffic.

[@jackwilliams9114]

@@ubaldohernandez4116 I was doubtful that was the reality shown on the vlog. Thanks for the correction. I am contemplating moving to Morelia, where the traffic is a major issue, along with the water supply, which gets very low as the rainy season approaches.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

a lot or a little traffic is completely relative and depends on the time of day, and from what side of town you are traveling to 😉. Saludos!

[@pedrozatravel]

I know Aguascalientes and the traffic can get crazy. Not CDMX crazy, but during the week there is definitely traffic.
