I want to vacation for the week with a another couple in San Miguel. If I like this life then I would rent an apartment for 1-2 months a year. I lived in Guadalajara for 4 years many years ago. I love Mexico, it’s culture, food and most of all the people.
My wife and I got here from Vancouver BC on Sept 1, spend a month in a Air B&B and got a place to rent for $1200 US however, paying in US cost a 37% premium right now. We love the place we are in right in the heart of the city in Centro. We got our Permanent cards last Monday. Used a facilitator, of course.
One question Mariana: what are calling cards called here in Mexico? I need to call my sisters in the UK. I know all about What’sApp but I am old fashioned I like to dial.

I’m not sure calling cards exist anymore. Because most cellphones have apps that let you call overseas. But if you want to know the name they are called “tarjeta de telefono para llamadas internacionales”
Any chance of seeing a video like this one but on huatulco La crucecita
COMING SOON! Stay tuned
Hi Mariana,
I am reading all over the internet that the prices in SMA are rising so fast.
My plan is to be there permanently in September. (I have everything in order)
I was budgeting $1100 for rent close in but not in Centro, including
utilities. Is this doable? I have my heart set on this beautiful city, but if I must I will reconsider.
Thanks for any help.
It’s absolutely doable in your budget, but you won’t find those prices usually online. You will find them by word of mouth or by searching where the locals search and how they search (en Espanol).
A lot of Facebook groups in Spanish are also great places to find a budget-friendly rental anywhere in Mexico. Look for
