[@tonyminutti5277]

What a great video of beautiful Puebla! It’s one of the best cities in Mexico. I highly recommend visiting the town of Chipilo near Cholula (30 minutes from the city of Puebla), it’s a city founded by Italian immigrants that has retained the culture and language. They are known for their dairy products but also their pastas, pizzas, gelato, wine, polenta and Aperol Spritz (great for the summer months)! It’s a foodie paradise, a piece of Italy in Puebla! Weekends are the best since the restaurants are full of life! Sundays are my favourite days to go because they play bocce ball and they “scream” at each other in Veneto (dialect from northern Italy). Other great places to visit are Atlixco which is beautiful and has amazing climate and the cecina from the market is to die for. The Chautla hacienda is beautiful too. And nearby Val’Quirico (a medieval looking town) also great for weekends, especially Saturdays and the capital city of Tlaxcala which is so gorgeous and so close to Puebla ($15 pesos was the bus ticket if I’m not mistaken?). So much to do nearby the city of Puebla!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Hi! Wow thank you so much for all of these thoughtful recommendations! We appreciate you. I wish we could make a little documentary in Chipilo by taking to the locals about their heritage but our Spanish is just not up to it. It’s very interesting that they have held on to their culture and continue to speak in the same dialect. Very nice. We are actually heading north to Zacatlan de Manzanas and hopefully Cuetzalan as well! Thanks again.

[@tonyminutti5277]

@@TheCountryCollectors that would be incredible. The locals are very nice and many will speak English, especially the younger ones. They will help you out discover more about their history and the language is even on the public signage and on the central piazza where the municipality and town theatre are located, next to the Italian church. Behind it is the Monte Grappa which is a little hill where they fought off rebels during the revolution. They have maintained a lot of their culture, and stick out since Puebla is mainly indigenous but adds to the diversity. There’s many other Italian “towns” which were formed as agricultural colonies all over Mexico and they keep in touch (in Veracruz there are two main ones for example in the towns of Gutierrez Zamora near Papantla which has been around since the 1850’s before Italy was even a country, and the one in Huatusco/Zentla called Colonia Manuel González which has bocce tournaments with Chipilo haha and Huatusco has many Italian restaurants and monuments too…the whole central/mountainous part of Veracruz has Italian roots because of this migration…my family is part of this but they went to work in the mines of Michoacán haha so different history! You find little towns like this all over Mexico, French towns, German towns, Japanese towns, etc…but Chipilo has been my favourite since they’ve retained a lot of their culture but also influenced much of the culinary culture in Puebla…probably the Italian restaurant you guys ate at was from a chipileño owner? The Italian Coffee Company (Mexican Starbucks) was started in Chipilo and you can still visit the old cafe in the central part of town…the whole central corridor is a culinary corridor! Highly recommended. It’s small, smells like cows (sign of good food) and the people are so nice and you can hear them speaking in their language from northern Italy which is so cool! If you guys are still in Puebla after Zacatlán, I do highly recommend it! The cheese is to die for here but the pizzas at Al Canton dell’Italian and the food at La Fontana…honestly…it’s a great place to just have breakfast, lunch and dinner and as many gelato breaks as possible haha

Wow such a fun city! And the food looked awesome! 😋Love the architecture and the underground tunnels. It’s on my bucket list now. (As are so many others). Love watching you two. Thankyou such a chore having to wait til next Sunday for the next adventure.

Hey Patti! Aww 🥰 haha it’s a lesson in patience! It’s hard for us too - we wish we could make 2 videos a week but they are so time consuming we just can’t. We appreciate your support!

[@solotuyobebe5038]

Puebla is so beautiful I’ll be planning a trip here soon 😍

[@TheCountryCollectors]

It sure is!! That’s awesome!

[@kellydoolin4318]

Los Angeles, California (original name: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles), was named after Puebla de Los Angeles.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Oh wow very interesting thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Goodbye Monday blues. Now I'm hungry and I just ate breakfast! Good to hear Adam back in form too. :-)

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Haha he was on fire 🔥 Thanks for being here!

[@franks2983]

Great video! Puebla looks great and can't wait for next week. Have heard awesome things about Cholula.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Yes it’s a beautiful place too!

[@upabove7536]

Oh how I miss the food, especially the cemitas. Adam that one was massive holy cow. Chalupas are a favorite as well.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I know! It was massive. So so tasty!

This is Paul.... and Gloria in Oaxaca. This was a great video with lots of information, recommendations & prices. We'll be coming up for a week in October for my University reunion in Cholula, but after this video I think we'll stay in Puebla this year. Many of the alumni from the University live in Puebla, Cholula, & Atlixco. We will duplicate your tour so it should be easy. We will do what you did. You'll make it more compact, so we can see more. Afew of the things you recommended we've already done, but it was quite a few years ago.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Hi Paul and Gloria! Thank you so much! Oh that’s great. We’ve enjoyed both places a lot. What a beautiful area here in Puebla. Did you ever make it north to Zacatlan de Manzanas or Cuetzalan?

[@paulyeatman303]

Answering your question, I never made it to those magic towns. I was in Puebla/Cholula 50+ years ago and I washed a student. I had just gotten back from Vietnam in 1969 and my life was very different then. Of course, Mexico was very different then too. Someday we may make it, but for now we're huddled at home in Oaxaca.

Fabulous show with great information as usual! We would like to visit Puebla. Thank you. Kenneth and Nanae
