Thank you for two reasons: 1. Showing me what San Miguel looks like in recent months. 2. Letting me know that no matter how badly I butcher the Spanish (or Italian, or...) language, there will always be a much greater offender out there. From "Fuhrenzee" Italy to the multiple pronunciations of "Allende" (but none correct), you sir are a champ.
I normally go to San Luis potosi twice a year. While I was there we took a road trip to San Miguel de Allende two weeks ago. It's like a two hour drive and we enjoyed it
Hubby and I had planned a trip to SMdeA last winter, but then covid hit and travel restrictions forced us to stay home, but if all goes well, we will be in SMdeA next winter. TY for sharing this beautiful video.
I know spanish pronunciation is hard for english speakers but I think that is definitely not the biggest deal, you gave so much cool info and succeded at transmiting your message, I wish people would pay less attention to that, not everybody is good at pronuncing words in other languages.
Hey just visit there when you posted this my family is originally from them you explained this place so nice it is beautiful I can’t wait to go back soon
Great video, full of fantastic shots. You capture the beauty of SMA, indeed. Let me share one historical fact about SMA that explains its architectural beauty. SMA, Querétaro city, and other important colonial cities are on the King's Road, which was the main road that communicated the capital of New Spain (Mexico City) with Santa Fe, in New Mexico. Through the King's Road silver and gold were transported from the mines in Central and Northern Mexico to Mexico City. On the other hand, all type of goods needed by the Spanish settlers were transported from Mexico City, SMA and Querétaro to the mine towns in the north. SMA benefitted from trade with the mine towns of Guanajuato, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí, and became a prosperous town. Finally, the King's Road, and all of the cities located on it, are World Heritage.
Es obvio que el presentador no es mexicano como tú y como yo,orgullosos debemos de estar por hablar de nuestro país, el hecho de qué lo corrijas en la forma de decir el nombre de la ciudad se ve muy mal de tu parte porque ya te dije es obvio su idioma no es el español👎🏼
I want to say thanks to your video and the great way you describe it and show the city, you are pronouncing correctly whatever word In Spanish you say, you are an American and we are smart enough to understand the names you are referring to, no everybody that comes from fireign countries come when they are young to catch the English accent, and I appreciate that you understand the effort we make to speak we a very heavy accent, may God bless America all the glory to God.
I do love Mexico! Just wish the world was in a better place! Hard to really relax and chill in a strange city and country! I miss the real Cuban cigars in Mexico!
I'm so surprised. I don't know Mexico really (only Tijuana and Yucatán), but as an European I very well know Spain and it's just incredible how San Miguel looks like Spain. It gives a very Spanish feeling, just incredible.
Central San Miguel de Allende is also known for its churches and numerous colonial buildings and is a national historical monument; in 2008 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
I wish I could speak English correctly, when a lenguaje is not your birth lenguaje you have all the right to try to pronounce it correctly, it it is a foreign Lenguaje unless you learned it from childhood, I appreciate Americans that understand the effort and my heavy accent and sometimes I find some words very difficult to pronounce them.
I plan on renting a car from Mexico City & then drive up to Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende,, Aguascalientes, & San Luis Potosí. Any issues with highways & finding parking?
How is the weather like....I notice you had sweater.....I live in texas I'm tired freaking heat. Houston tx Los que viven... ayi como esta clima...en el verano?
You take good footage and present info on the places you visit, however, the way you mispronounce the names of towns, cities, states, etc is something I’ve noticed in your other videos, and for me, it’s a complete disservice to the areas you are presenting info on. You seem to do some research and spend time in putting these videos together….why not actually take the time to learn how to pronounce the name of the town you are presenting?
Agree. In my mind, taking the time to learn how to correctly pronounce the name of the town your video is showcasing...would be a respectful nod to its citizens.
It's San Miguel de Ayenda, double "ll" in Spanish is pronounced like the "y" in yes. Also there is crime there, people report and have been captured on camera, tourist being robbed at intersection while in their car.
Great and realistic views you‘re presenting! ❤️ Would you allow me to contact you to get some more information, please? I had lived in Puebla many years ago and want to return to Mexico to show it‘s beauty to my wife.
Tips for Americans, this may sound silly, but it is not. When eating at restaurants, take off your hats when sitting at the table, also learn to hold forks and knives properly and chew with your mouths closed. Thanks! 😊
It is silly. And a tip for you: American is anyone that was born in the American Continent. Those are somebody's idea of etiquette. To each it's own.✌️
@@luyzqint3760 Deja de mamar. Un contra-tip para ti: No hay una definición universal del concepto “continente”. Por consecuencia, varios países adoptan distintos modelos de cómo dividirlos. Los países angloparlantes, por lo general, adoptan un modelo de siete continentes, y por consecuencia no existe un continente llamado “America” para ellos. Entonces estás proyectando tu regionalismo a personas al las que no les corresponde. Cuando un angloparlante dice “America” para referirse a los EEUU, lo hacen porque es así como se llama el país, no por se ojete y agraviar a un latinoamericano. No es incorrecto para ellos decir America para el país. Así se llama nos guste o no, y tú “tip” no les aplica. Así que reitero: wey ya! 🙄
@@poolerboy deja de besar el trasero a los gringos. No existe ningún país llamado, America. Los Anglos cambian e inventan hechos* para su interés propio y el de su meta. Tal y como lo han hecho todos los imperios antiguos. Educate mejor. Si sabes leer en Inglés, qué dice aquí: United States of America.
Make yourself more credible by learning how to pronounce the names of the places you go. I'm sure some friendly local will assist you. I was cringing every time you mis pronounced the words. I like the places you go. I have traveled all over Mexico in the last 30 years. Wonderful people and country.
Thank you for your video. As Mexican living abroad for so long, but coming back to Mexico almost yearly to visit relatives, we now want to explore more than my hometown, so your videos help us to consider new places to explore. Thanks again for your good work.
@@IslandHopperTV se refiere a la mala pronunciación del español..no es ayenday ..es Allende ..haciendo incapien en las LLs. Sería algo así como yeee ..sin la y al final..tómese el tiempo de preguntar a alguien nativo cual es la pronunciación correcta.

@@nomada6789 No, it was because of my hubby's health issues.
San Miguel de Allende is such a treasure. Love this town and it’s so close to my grandma’s home. 🙂

Mexico has a strong connection with the State of Arizona, as the Spanish influence can be felt in Arizona as well...
Let's not forget Arizona was part of Mexico..
"Strong connection" 😂...the us stole the entire mid and west coast from Mexico...
Great place to visit. Went there in January this year. Loved it. Great video
It’s “de Allende,” pronounced “day Ayenday,” not “de Addinday.”
The way he was butchering all those names was driving me nuts.
Wrong pronunciation is more like ayenda!!!!
@@Mad-Angel-1980 no, actually you’re wrong she had it right
Sorry, it's "deh Ayendeh" not "day Ayenday"

@Elon Musk
Yes Sir, fear is a limitation to move forward 🤷♀️
we have to live this way since this is our time with or without crap 🤷♀️#tesla 👍🏻
The double ll always makes a "y"sound, Allende. 👌
Me encantó tu video

Saludos bro thanks for record my city.
My wife and I retired here last year. Here's a tip: eat at the family owned small street restaurants. You'll save money.
Gracias 👏👏👏👏👏🌸❤️
I've been there It's a Beautiful and Magical place**
Central San Miguel de Allende is also known for its churches and numerous colonial buildings and is a national historical monument; in 2008 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Beautiful
Can't wait to go to Addende. I love to eat Poddeno tacos.
This has made me super excited about our upcoming trip! Can you guide me to some transportation options from the airport. Thank you!
Sir I really wish you would pronounce the name correctly. The town is beautiful and full of culture. It’s in my travel bucket list. 🥰
thats why i couldnt finish watching this lol

Lovely tour of that town. So colourful and inviting. Did you mention the name of the hotel you were staying at?
I plan on renting a car from Mexico City & then drive up to Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende,, Aguascalientes, & San Luis Potosí. Any issues with highways & finding parking?
Two ‘LL’s is pronounced like a ‘Y’. Hence “Ah yenday”.
ALLENDE - the double LL's are pronounced like a Y as in YES -- AHYENDEY.
No se pronuncia así ..nada que ver ..
How is the weather like....I notice you had sweater.....I live in texas I'm tired freaking heat. Houston tx
Los que viven... ayi como esta clima...en el verano?
What is the name of the Boutique Hotel where you stayed?
Hotel Spa Doña Urraca
My city
Such a beautiful place and great images! I also made a video abt San Miguel de Allende on my channel. Thanks for sharing buddy 👍🏼
good morning my friend
Great video, again. Hey do you smoke? If so, what brand?
Nice

Warning: the gringo pronunciations in this video may do you in.
For real.
Excellent clip, you’ve done your homework.
Do you have the adress for the Pork Belly Tacos? I didn’t hear you very well ,please.
It's San Miguel de Ayenda, double "ll" in Spanish is pronounced like the "y" in yes. Also there is crime there, people report and have been captured on camera, tourist being robbed at intersection while in their car.
A travel advisor who does not bother to respect a licale enough to pronounce its name properly shames us all
We are in Mazatlan MX for vacation , thinking about fly there please tell me name of your hotel you stayed. Is it close city center?
It's not Gothic style, it's the Baroque period.
Butcher the name...adding letters to name...come on gringo, get with the program.
I am from San Miguel de Allende and I have three houses for rent if you everyone wants to rent the house just let me know
How does one contact you?
De ayende…. Not de addende
Great and realistic views you‘re presenting! ❤️
Would you allow me to contact you to get some more information, please?
I had lived in Puebla many years ago and want to return to Mexico to show it‘s beauty to my wife.
how are you pronouncing Allende 3 different ways thru the same video?? lol
and none correct 🤣
Looks like a nice place to relocate to. I hope they lose the mask.
Good information, you just need to take more Spanish lessons to pronounce words better.
If they sold than we purchase..I am right Hopper..

If you do a video about a place, you should learn how to pronounce the name first..
Ha ha ha you just invented new towns and cities in Mexico that was funny man

you could AT LEAST try and PRONOUNCE it properly
wanted to watch your video - but PLEASE learn to pronounce the cities names correctly!
Sawn miguel de adende! Hahaha
Thank you but your accent is excruciating…
I assume you are referring to my Lack of Spanish accent

The speaker can't pronounce Spanish - too bad. I lived in this town for a year while I was a student at the Bellas Artes - school for the arts.
Is it dangerous that part of Mexico? Meaning cartels
It's no longer a safe place, as cartel activity in this state is very high now.
over rated if you ask me
“Expatriates”. There’s a much more established word for that. It’s called an “immigrant” lmao.
Just how difficult is it to be respectful and at a minimum, learn how to pronounce the name of the city that you are a guest in?
