Hey you guys! Keep up the great work! I am proud of you! I believe you are one of only a few Americans of Mexican descent that are doing what you are doing! As an American of Mexican descent, it means alot to me. Both of my parents were from Juchipila, Zacatecas. When asked by people where am from, I aways respond from here. (I reside in CA). I tell others my family was here before this was called California and before it was Mexico. We are NOT immigrants, the US Border crossed US. Viva La Raza! 🇲🇽💪❤️🙏🍺

Awesome video! My mom was born and grew up in Torreon, Coahuila but her parents, my maternal grandparents, are from the state of Zacatecas. Their families have been living in pueblos on the border of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi northeast of the city of Zacatecas since at least the 1790s. My great-grandmother actually lived on her ranch in Zacatecas up until a couple years ago. She had to move here because cartel members threatened to kill her if she didn't give them money. Unfortunately, she passed away a couple months ago. I'm so grateful that I got to meet her. Always happy to learn more about the great state of Zacatecas.

Loved the vlog - Zacatecas looks amazing. Thanks for the history also.

Great video! Thanks for sharing and show us around! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 stay safe and stay connected!

Another home run video. You two seriously have one of the best YT travel channels on Mexico. Love your chemistry with each other. Your personalities are a good match and make the video informative and funny.

Wow. Thank you so much. My mom's side of the fam is from Zacatecas. Thanks for continuing to include historical facts on the places you visit. It's super helpful for us Mexicans in the U.S. to know about our rich history.

Really cool history, I have never heard of this place...thanks for another great video.

I enjoyed this video. I met my wife in Zacatecas in '94 when I was conducting some systems classes for the then Holiday Inn in Zacatecas. I was there several weeks and I loved the experience--an 'outside museum' as you described. Some hotel employees took my colleague and I dancing at La Mina, and your video is the only photographic memory I've seen of it. My wife was not a hotel employee--since they were my client, my intention was not to go to Mexico and find a wife, obviously. My wife worked for Mexicana which had an office downtown, steps from the cathedral, and we met just because she was working there, and I felt comfortable with the way she helped my colleague and I, so I started to tell her about how we were sent out of Washington DC to teach the staff at the Holiday Inn there, and I teased her and told her she was the only beautiful woman I met in Zacatecas who spoke perfect English and how I wish she had been with my colleague and I as a guide during our stay. Knowing my colleague and I were flying in two days to Huatulco, my soon to be wife called me the next day and invited me to the Quinta Real and an evening walk thru the city sights, explaining like you the history. We agreed to go out the next day. Fast forward to 2023--our daughter, a Masters student in International Studies, turns 23 this year. My wife moved with me from Zacatecas first to the Napa Valley, where I was raised, then to Phoenix, where we've lived since she came to the US permanently in '95. I am from Chicago and also, as a business traveler, went thru O'Hare often and coincidentally, my wife was in Chicago just two months before I met her in Zacatecas, and I was in Illinois traveling thru Chicago at the same time to work for a Holiday Inn in Springfield. So I felt that sooner or later, we were just bound to meet, and we were like and always have been like twins, finishing each other's sentences, I think because of my own Latin (Italian) upbringing, we approach life the same but were just different enough to be interesting to each other. Sadly we had to separate when my work, which always made me nomadic, forced me to leave Arizona for two years and we felt her career here was too important for her to give up. But we still meet up, neither one of us ever remarrying, entwined as soulmates because our daughter we share melts our hearts. Zacatecas found me, a business traveler with no time for dating, an unexpected chance to marry and become what I always dreamed to be, more important than a career, a Papa. Mexicana was kind enough to pay for my air fare so I could visit my wife, flying from California or from a client between business trips, so we became a local legend in Zacatecas and also my home office in Washington DC with our unbelievable, fairy tale story.

With my family ties to Zacatecas, thank you for your beautiful and historical presentation of the state and city of Zacatecas. Viva Mexico and Viva Zacatecas 🇲🇽 (Also based on some quick searches the architecture is as old as far as 16th century but fun fact over the years the material used for some buildings get a new coat to support the foundation for some buildings it may look old but not as old as 16th century old lol)

Loved Zacatecas. My husband and I visited in March 2009. Great memories. Beautiful churches, museums, restaurants. Took a ride in the teleferico and visited the mines. Had dinner at "Los Dorados de Villa". Stayed at the stunning "Hotel Santa Rita" with amazing views of the cathedral at night form our balcony. Great video. Thank you!
