Mexico 🇲🇽 the land of…

  • Incredible Food

  • Strong Tequila

  • Mayan Ruins

  • Beautiful Beaches

  • Welcoming Culture

  • Cute Latinas

  • Lawless Men

The largest Spanish speaking country in the world — by a long-shot — with easy flights to the USA and beautiful coastlines on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts…

It’s no surprise the country receives more tourists than damn near anywhere else in Latin America.

And two of the more popular cities to visit for tourists and expats alike:

Mexico City and Guadalajara

Mexico City, aka “CDMX” — being the biggest city in the country, is a mega-city with everything a red-blooded foreign male could ever want.

Guadalajara, aka “GDL” — the second biggest city in the country, also offers much for the traveling man. From beautiful Latinas to ideal weather and more.

But…

Which of these two large cities in Mexico is best for you?!

That’s exactly what we’ll discuss below, comparing and contrasting these Mexican cities on a number of factors – including:

  • Population / Size

  • Weather

  • Best Neighborhoods

  • Cost of Living

  • English Levels

  • Infrastructure

  • Ease of Travel

  • Things to Do

  • Nightlife

  • Dating

  • The Locals

  • Food

  • Safety

I spent a good amount of time in both these cities, so I should know more than enough to break it down for my fellow nomadas.

Let’s dig in and  take a look at the “whole enchilada” when comparing these cities.

Pues…

¡Vámonos!


P.S: I highly recommend putting this song on *repeat* while reading this article…because Mexico 🇲🇽
