We have been throughout Michoacan. Our family lives in Michoacán. My husband and i visited Morelia and lived there for a month in August. I felt safe and even walked alone. Morelia is like my favorite city in Mexico. It’s so beautiful

Just back to USA, spent 9 nights in Morelia as a solo traveler. Rented a vehicle and drove to Quiroga, and Patzcuaro. Completely safe in all areas. The rental car had a budget sticker on it, so it was easy to see I was a visitor. I don’t speak Spanish. I had a great time, and the people are very friendly. I never felt uncomfortable. The food is fantastic, and Morelia is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Don’t worry, go visit, you will be fine.

I live in Morelia, I've been here for the past 13 years, I've always felt perfectly safe, no different to any other Mexican city. The issues with Michoacan are really only concentrated in Tierra Caliente, Morelia is relatively far from that area.

I have been to Mexico five times by myself, and never any problems at all. I don’t speak Spanish, other than to be polite and order food. Being humble, polite and respectful goes a long way. Living in fear is not really living. I’ll update with a post upon my return. Thanks again for the informative video.

This video is a fantastic overview of Morelia. Along with the Morelia film festival video, this really makes me want to visit the city! As far as safety goes, sometimes a reputation can be an overgeneralisation - for example here in Europe many people consider Chicago extremely dangerous to visit...

@EatBailaTravel Жыл бұрын

Yes, fair! I hope I didn't overgeneralize, I was moreso trying to compare how I feel walking the streets of Morelia vs how I feel walking the streets of Chicago. A "feeling" doesn't equal an accurate picture of statistics and crime level, it's just a feeling. And having grown up in Chicago, it's the most prominent comparison source I have. I talk about Chicago in a similar way that people talk about Michoacan.. "it's so beautiful, but it can be very unsafe"

It seems so much easier to learn when I can see the Spanish word in the closed caption while simultaneously hearing your pronunciation. Then I always get the bonus of both of you describing what you are talking about in English. The brief safety conversation at the end of the video was perfect. You should consider possibly doing that at the end of each video since it seems to be a concern for many people.

In regard to safety in Mexico, being an American/Canadian living in Canada, many Canadians are hesitant to travel to American city-centres: crime-ridden, deserted, etc. I studied in Mexico, and gave travelled to many cities!

I love this video! My family is from Michoacan, and I've always wanted to visit but wasn't sure how safe it is. Gazpacho is so good! My grandma said that the story goes as to how the name came about when, once in a fruit store, when the fruit was chopped into big pieces, an old man came to buy fruit. However, he had a problem with his teeth because he only had a few. Then the old man asked the owner of the place for a favor. He said, “Please chop the fruit into little pieces because I can’t eat it in big pieces.” So the man chopped the fruit and put it in a glass with some orange juice. That’s how the old man always returned to buy the same fruit. One time the man asked his name. It was Gaspar, and for that reason, the name is Gazpacho. Not sure how accurate or true that is, but that's what she explained. She's from Morelia and so were her parents :)

I am from a small town that used to be 5 kilometers away from downtown Morelia and it is now part of the city, una colonia más. When I lived there, there was no time or money to visit as a tourist. I'm going next month (January 2024) to visit dear ones and be a tourist at my place of birth. My wife and I have been visiting different parts of México (not the typical beach tourist resorts) and It's rather ironic that when I do a search on KZfaq for info about most places it is in English by KZfaqrs like yourselves. Thanks for the information in your video! About your question at Callejon del Romance, it's really not a poem, it is an "albur" bordering on erotic terms. You reminded me of our kids and so many other Mexican-American "kids" who lack "cultura". It's great to see you guys doing what you are doing. Keep it up!

best video of michoacan by american youtubers so far (and i've seen them all). beautiful city and unesco world heritage site. each person has different risk profile re security. some might be easier or more valued targets than others. outside of morelia is too much risk for my profile. morelia looks great and if criminal enterprises in michoacan somehow were cracked down by state government, i might be willing to take risk in future. but too many incidents in data collected by u.s. state department, which is much broader sample size than the american youtube videos sample, where no one has had an incident so far.

@EatBailaTravel Жыл бұрын

let's hope, for everyone's sake (locals as much as visitors), that criminal activity goes down.. and you're so right about the data and target risk. We all have different odds depending on how we look, sound, and what we're doing

agreed. the netflix documentary on food systems, rotten, episode on avocado trade (and related organized crime) was a sober reminder that real world in high risk mexican states does not look like american youtube vlogs of michoacan on the one hand, or an episode of narcos on the other hand. and when the u.s. state department prohibits u.s. government employee travel in states like guerrero or michoacan, they have my attention. i suspect they've dealt with problems most tourists can't imagine. though i suspect most locals know the risk better than americans.

I’ve been too paranoid to go see my grandma, because she lives in el saucillo, Michoacán but I might go this year if I’m in Mexico for Christmas. I’ve been many times as a child and my family frequents there often, and thankfully they’ve been fine everytime, so I guess it just comes down to practicing common sense and then hopping fate takes care of the rest, this video helps the paranoia though. . thanks for you beatiful perspective of a beatiful city.

I'm sure you will be just fine. I see narcos often when I visit my mom's hometown in Zacatecas. As long as you stick with a local or family member who lives there, they won't bother you.

@@EatBailaTravel true, we always have a local friend pick us from Zamora to go through tangamandapio to our small town of el saucillo. at worse, you get stopped at a checkpoint and they just check you for contraband and identification lol.

Gazpacho is called like that after the gazpacho en España, antes de que existieran las licuadoras el gazpacho de tomate was made by chopping the tomato in very fine dices and you would add the spices of your choice to it like aceite de oliva, pimienta, queso etc. El gazpacho in Morelia arrived with one of the more recent waves of spaniard migrants to the city after de Spanish Civil War (Nobody actually knows exactly when although there're many that claim to be the "First" or the "Original" which is a lie LOL), and so they tried to remake el gazpacho there. Since Michoacán has subtropical weather, the fruit variety is larger and so the tomato was replaced with other fruits, chopped into bigger dices, and they kept the spices and the cheese adding to it even more and more things just how only we Mexicans know how to do y ¡Pum! Gazpacho Moreliano. Saludos, desde Washington state.

Wooaahhh! Thanks so much for this historical context! I’m nerding out right now with excitement. I love it. I love Spanish gazpacho and I love gazpacho moreliano so it’s so cool to learn how one led to the other. Saludos y gracias ☺️🤗

@gavinmadrigal4678 Жыл бұрын

Gazpacho is thought to possibly come from the latin word for little pieces. It posible that it referred to an old roman dish made of small pieces of bread soaked in water and then mashed together with oil, spices and either vegtables, fruits, or nuts. So gazpacho might refer to the little pieces of fruits the same way it used to refer to little peices of bread.

My wife and I relocated to Morelia almost two years ago. She's Mexican and I'm from Reno, Nevada. I haven't seen any evidence of violent crime in Morelia. I know it exists, we've never seen it. We've eaten at many of the eateries you've visited. All good! Been to many celebrations and cultural festivals. As an American, I've never felt unsafe, or targeted in any way. If you look for problems, you can find them. If you watch yourself and stay aware of you surroundings, you'll be fine. The people and culture are amazing! The cost of living is easily affordable. The best move we ever made. Viva Mexico! (I doubt I would ever feel safe in Chicago in contrast...)

@EatBailaTravel Жыл бұрын

I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed Morelia! We were close to considering it as a place to live... if not at the very least we'd love to spend extended time there. It comes down to common sense, which not everyone has, and that's okay. Every place isn't for everyONE ;) and I say that because there have been other commenters with a more negative opinion, which is also fine lol

@russellbarnes7728 Жыл бұрын

It seems most of the nay sayers have never stayed for any length of time, lived there, or are paranoid about living in Mexico, due continued negativity in US media. Many just try to turn it into whatever country they left. Assimilation is key. I love my life in both Mexico, and in Morelia. VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽

My family is from Michoacán and I go back at least once a year. Went in May and going back in February, but I have always felt safe walking around Morelia even alone. The problem is the other pueblo mostly in Tierra Caliente were my mom is from. I've been down there and felt safe with a group of people or family members definitely not alone.
