Things to do in Queretaro, Mexico (Podcast)

Hear about issues to do when you vacation to Queretaro, Mexico as the Newbie Traveler talks to Ray Blakney about his adopted Mexican property.

Ray claims, “If you’re hoping to find it, just take a dart, throw it at the map of Mexico. If you strike a bullseye suitable in the center of the nation, you’ve almost certainly hit Queretaro. We’re about two or 3 hours north of Mexico Metropolis, in the highlands of Mexico. It is the point out just north of Mexico City.”

“I’ve been listed here for 14 several years. I personal on-line corporations. I could stay any place else in the earth. It is a excellent put to dwell. A handful of statistics for you. Queretaro is just one of the richest cities in Mexico. There is a Ferrari dealership in this article and Sam’s Club and all kinds of modern conveniences. It is a single of the oldest towns in Mexico and made use of to be the funds of Mexico. That Structure was signed here the national anthem was first composed and sung below.  It is a Mexican wine state, the second soon after Baja California. The complete downtown is a UNESCO World Heritage Internet site.”

“It has the third-greatest monolith in the globe like Ayers Rock which you can climb up. It is received waterfalls you can generate to in two hours. You can pass by way of seven unique ecosystems from spot desert to pine forest to tropical jungle, so it’s bought a large amount likely for it.”

Queretaro is a heart for aeronautics in Mexico so it does have an global airport. Ray suggests you fly in and right away go down to the historic center of the town with its plazas and nightlife. Queretaro is safer than most U.S. metropolitan areas. On the 2nd day, Ray directs us to check out the place including an art museum and a calendar museum. The theater in city is the place the Mexican national anthem was initially carried out. For the reason that this was the money for the French Emperor Maximillian, the city’s squares may well seem much more French than Mexican. 

On the 3rd working day, we head out to the monolith of Peña de Bernal. Climb portion way up for a excellent look at of wine region. Bernal also has a exceptional UNESCO website on a UNESCO site. A wealthy spouse and children developed their hacienda on an unusual hill… which turns out to be a pre-Columbian pyramid. 

Subsequent, we pay a visit to a single of the neighborhood wineries like Freixenet which grows French wines, or Orlandi which grows a lot more Italian varietals. 

Ray recommends a two-working day journey up into the Sierra Gorda mountains. Visit some of the area waterfalls as well as a string of Franciscan Missions that pre-day the California Missions but were being also established by Father Junipero Serra.

No matter whether you are hunting for wine, heritage, or scenic beauty, Queretaro is a location that more men and women really should examine.

Great episode!

Just just one position about the abandoned/decrepit properties: It has less to do with economics, but with an ambiguous legal scenario. In 1974, when the island was partitioned, most Greeks still left the north of the island (which became Turkish), but the European Court of Human Rights ruled continuously that they still preserve residence and possession legal rights to the houses they still left driving, even if North Cypriot legislation said or else.

Tragically, these property disputes had been/are among the most significant roadblocks to a peace settlement.
