Hola Mexico Insiders,

A year-round mild climate, gorgeous mountain views in all directions, chic restaurants and cafes, and more leisure activities—everything from concerts to kayaking—than you could possibly do.

You’re probably thinking, “Sure, I’d love to live in a place like this—if I could afford it.”

So here’s the best part—this city is very affordable. Here you can find three-bedroom modern houses on the outskirts of town for under $100,000. For $150,000 you can live on a quiet, private street just five minutes from the town center. And if you prefer colonial living, properties here are a steal compared to what you’d pay in places like San Miguel de Allende.

You may not have heard of this little jewel of a city—but we tell you all about it in the August issue of Mexico Insider. We’ll show you why it’s known as the “Athens” of Mexico (and why its name may remind you of hot peppers).
