TORREÓN, Coahuila | The City That Guide Books Don't Mention | MEXICO
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- Many, including Mexicans, view Torreón as a place to avoid. Apparently it’s an industrial town with not a lot happening. My Lonely Planet guide book doesn’t have a single mention (other than the dot on the map) about Torreón. Another book I have (published 20 years ago) also fails to mention Torreón - all of this combined made me curious; WHY / HOW could a place be so bad that it’s swept under the rug for all to avoid? This video puts into question the reliability of guide books as a tool for travel.

Around 1:40 watch the photo bombers in the background of the video. One of them almost trips over trying to get his moment of fame 🤣
Hey friend when you come again to Torreón Coahuila ..???
It is a great honor that you express yourself so of my dear Torreón, I hope you continue to visit us and visit other very great places in Torreón.
Hola Jack!! It was such a pleasure being there in a city so unique to Mexico! I had never experienced anything quite like it (usually most places I go are overrun by thousands of international tourists). I like how Torreón is still very much the Mexico I envisioned when I was a teenager dreaming about visiting Mexico in the early 2000s; untouched by Gringos and 100% pure Mexican, food to die for and friendly people👌😍.
Man this is awesome. Northern Mexico has many hidden gems that people tend not to bother visiting. Yet, these are my favorite places to go.
Yeah I really want to move there to live after I finish my time in Puerto Escondido!! I love the north so much. The food and the people are fantastico! By far my favourite region of the country 👌😁 - I’m glad you like the north as well.
Thanks for coming to Torreon, I hope one day you'll come back
Thanks for coming and show our city to the world .
Thanks for visiting us!! I hope you come back soon and that you had a good experience in our city.
Thank you for coming to Torreón I hope you liked it a lot and visit us again.
Hola Ximena, yes I will be back to Torreón in early 2022 😍👌 I love it there!
Thank you for coming to visit Torreon,we hope and you will come again:)
Watafaka Don't believe (Ntcs), I hope you liked our city so much a pleasure that you are here and make our city know more people, Thank you very much!
How cool you have visited our city! Interesting and wonderful video, thank you for recording in our city! :)
Hey Giselle, one part about Torreón that I liked the most was the architecture of the buildings (old and new). I didn’t have enough time to explore it all so I will be returning sometime in 2022 for another look 😍
I send this comment from Torreón, your content is very good, we hope you come again!
Good video, thanks for visiting Torreón, I hope you liked the places you visited, I hope you'll come back soon.:))
Gracias por venir a torreón, espero y nos visites pronto 💗💥
Torreon is a gem. Loved the humorous commentary. Good work Finn!
Gracias Chris!! 👌😍 I think I’m finding my groove. Thanks for watching!
Good video brother thanks for visiting our city I hope you come back soon
Great video again Finn, the drone shots are ace! Love the shades, very Johnny Depp in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas 😎 the town looks really cool, really interesting, the food, as always in all your videos, looked amazing 🤤 and the Ghostbuster Car was vintage stuff….a classic for sure….keep them coming my good man….✌️
Oh and ads playing thought the video 👌🤑
Hey C&S!! Thanks for watching. I just Google searched Feat & Loathing and you’re right! The glasses have that sweet vintage yellow tinge and look (actually both myself and Samantha have the retro shades vibe going on 👌😃)! Seriously you wait until you try the food here, you will never want to leave. And the bill will never be too expensive.
The ads 🤩, $13 so far this month. Winning! 🤣
I know that barbacoa look! That thing about benches in the shade never being available... I always have to sit under trees!
Oh me too! If there is a bench seat available it’s 99% of the time in the sunshine which is why I usually sit on the ground against a building - (no pretentious ex-pat gringo foreigner here😅)
Thank you for coming to my city, I hope you enjoyed visiting the places of Torreón, stay healthy
Hola ivana soy leo de tu ruta XD :D
Thanks for visiting Torreón
Greetings!
Saludos!! 😃 Thanks for watching amigo!
Thanks for coming and show our city to the world!!!
I loved Torreón! Can’t wait to come back there next year to see more 😍
Driving from Texas to Torreon this weekend!
Por favor Emilio... May I come along with you>?? :)
Emilio sorry for the late reply, I have been in the ranchlands with no internet for a week! I hope your weekend in Torreón went well, what did you get up to there!? 😃
What a man, I really liked your video, your way of talking about Torreón, it is really beautiful, only that it is hidden, I who live here would recommend that you enter the Canal de la Perla, there is more history of Torreón. I hope you visit us again, greetings.
Another great video, and you are getting more and more comfortable. The music and the pace of the video is great as well as your energy and interaction with the people. Torreon is overlooked by tourist, but has one of the best quality of life in Mexico now and you made the city more interesting! Great job!🙌 now I'm hungry... those birria tacos looked delicious and you made me jealous🤓
Gracias José!! 100% - Torreón is overlooked but has some really fine selling points to visit. It’s funny you mention the music, I was going to leave it out from this video and add wind noise for the drone clips, I’m glad I didn’t! The tacos birrias were a gift from heaven 🤤👌👌👌!!
@@FinnDelMundoTravel lucky you and your belly...😜 keep making me hungry😂
Very good video! It’s nice to see a regular, down to earth town. The memorial of names was so sad and touching. I’m glad you filmed this bit of reality. Your lunch looked sooooo delicious! Enjoyed your conversation with the shoe shiner (sorry, I forgot his name). Great work! 👍
Gracias María!! It truely was a nice break from the tourist towns that every other youtuber seems to end up in (including myself sometimes). Also to meet locals like Rosento Gonzalez who magically made my shoes new again. Glad you enjoyed the video 😃
I liked your video making known a little more to my great city torreon and I hope again you come to enjoy more torreon and its activities and celebrities say hello :¨+
Hola Luis!! I loved my time in Torreón. One thing I will never forget is how extreme the heat was during the day 🔥 👌 (It’s a good think I like hot places) 😃
Very good video friend, the work you do is really super interesting, thank you for taking a walk in my beautiful lagoon region, you are a youtuber of the God.
Wow thanks so much Marco!!!!!! This comment has made my day - if you are there next year when I pass through we’ll have to get a beer and you can show me some other sites around Torreón!
Thank you for coming to my city, I hope you had fun and enjoyed going to some of the most famous places in Torreón. :)
Hola Marlene! I absolutely LOVED Torreón. You are very lucky to call it your home. I will be back I promise 😉
good video, I'm glad you say cool things about torreón
That car OMG l want it!! So damn cool. Did you ever find out why that modern looking building was abandoned? It looked like a high rise office block. The architecture is so varied bit like stepping back in time. Shoe shine service wow, we dont have that in Australia lm pretty certain shoe polish inhalation would be an OH&S issue hence banned, western/modern world at its finest, even street performers here must have a registration with the council and all sorts of safety rules apply! The Cafe looked great and the meal delicious. Thanks for the great look around, and highlighted why its worth a visit👍
Wasn’t that car the coolest thing ever!? I was frothing over the different styles of buildings in Torreón - I wanted to show more but decided against it because I know it’s not everyone’s interest. I never uncovered why that place was abandoned but it was one of hundreds that littered the cityscape so I’m assuming the place has fallen on hard times (GFC?) and is waiting for some gentrification. I think the shoeshine service was once a thing in NZ and Aussie but has since been lost - maybe we’ll see a resurgence in the future? It was an invaluable service!! The downside is getting a permit - they are the death of any great idea proposed to a city council.
@@FinnDelMundoTravel Hi buddy, Torreon had a boom in the 20s because of the train and was one of the cities that received attention by the president Porfirio Diaz in those years, after that, in the 50s we had a boom with the cotton production and the city continuous growing until 80s, in the 90s came a boom with the textil industry and after that years came the cartel war drugs and the dynamic of the city comes down but actually we are getting up of that and we are growing again, Torreon is a mix of cultures like lebanese, chinese, greek, spanish, german, french, american, english, japanese that came looking fortune and the tlaxcaltecas that came from Saltillo capital of Coahuila in the 17 century to stablish points of population around the land and other tribus from here, and that is why you see a lot of interesting examples of architecture in the downtown of the city. I love that you discover it because i love that issue of mi city too, and i also think that is an underrated city of Mexico and that deserves a place in the tourist guide of Mexico. Now we are looking to aeroespacial industry, car industry, food industry and of course the mining and metallurgy industry that came here in early 1900s to get an economic boom again. Actually the architects are trying to take people to old downtown to give another opportunity to old buildings an bringing life again at that part of the city. Thanks for coming to Torreon, Coahuila, MX.
Thank you for visiting Torreón Coahuila I hope you liked it
Hola Cristian! I didn’t like it, I LOVED IT 😍😀!! Can’t wait to come back and explore some more.
Hello, I am from Torreon, thank you for visiting this place and I hope you will do it again soon !!!
Hola Mariana, for me, visiting Torreón was a highlight I will remember forever. I hope to come back in early 2022 🤩!!
Thanks for coming to my city, good video
I loved seeing your video, it is a great honor that you express yourself in this way about our beloved Torreón, I hope that one day you can come here again so that you can visit other incredible places.
Hola Jolette 😉 I will be back in early 2022 to visit the places I missed like La Perla and some of the parks in the city I want to see. Voy a grabar en español 😜
Thank you very much, really from the heart, thank you very much, the video was very nice, whatever the tower offers you, we will welcome you with open arms. RIFFATELA! 💯💯⚡⚡
De nada amigo! I wish I filmed a second or third video but time was against me which is why I will be back to visit in 2022 🤩.
Great video! This is where my Mom is from. I've never been so it was nice to see :)
Thanks Green Bean!! It’s a really great place. Still retains the 100% Mexican character with almost zero impact from over-tourism (like most of the places south of San Miguel De Allende). If you ever get the opportunity, please check it out (especially that lookout with the cable car up to it)👌😀
Thank you for visiting and talking about Torreón Coahuila
Hola Dayane, it was a pleasure! I wish I had more time there to film more videos. Next year… 🤩
thank you, talking about my beautifull and wonderful cirty
Gracias Alma! It’s a really nice city! I loved it.
Thank you for coming to my city
Cant wait to go to my torreon this sept 2022 for my shoe shine!!! Amazing place to go visit!! Nos vemos por alla este septiembre!!!
Broo thanks for coming, is my city
your energy is very beautiful, blessings 🤗
Good video!. I'm from Torreón and I loved it, keep doing what you do!
Thanks Stephany! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Thank you for visiting our city, not ahy much to show but ahy nice liugares in which you can spend good time with friend and family
Hola MeanMarrow! I think there is a story hiding something in every corner of Torreón and to me it felt like a city full of mystery. I am excited to return and explore some more and to meet more of the people who call Torreón home. 😍
Very good video, thank you very much for coming to our city and talking about it, so that more people know it.
Hey Javier, seriously I was shocked that more international tourism was not happening in Torreón. The Teleferico to Cristo is enough for me to return. Absolutely amazing landmark and significant location for Coahuila yet not many give it the recognition it deserves. Showing others on TH-cam is a good start so maybe in time tourism will increase 😀!! I know I’ll be back 💯 %
@@FinnDelMundoTravel I hope and you will return to Torreon soon, I hope and in a while it will become a city recognized by people, and that they see that it is a great city, thanks for the video, greetings!
Worth it for the ghost buster car alone! Very entertaining vid Finn, loved looking around the city with you 😊
Gracias Jen!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! The next day after filming I saw a Hot Wheels car with the whole paint job theme going on! There must be a toy fetish in Torreón for life sized car replicas!!
great video how cool you came😃🔥
Really good content bro, keep it up
@Frankes35 Thanks for watching and commenting, means a lot!! 🤩
Thank you for coming from far away to show people mi pretty city, I think you Would also make some things like go to meet the city in the night, or a go to a mall shopping. But a very good video about Torreón!
Hola Gabo, yes I agree!! Actually I was supposed to go in La Perla but completely ran out of time. Maybe you could show me when I come back there next year 😃
@@FinnDelMundoTravel yes! of course dude😁
I hope you liked torreón and I hope you visit more places to know the world!
Brillante!! Bien hecho Finn! El estilo de este video me encanta...educativo, humor, comida, y comentario que nos hace pensar...esto me gusta mucho!
HOLA MB!! Gracias! Finalmente pienso que yo tengo mi estilo. Voy a grabar en Monterrey esta semana 🤩!! Espero que hay mas editicios abandonados 👌
Outstanding video mate. Love the interaction with the shoe shiner. Great way to get some inside knowledge
Thanks Ben!! I thought I’d try something different so glad you enjoyed it. Filming in 36 degrees is never easy either so it’s a miracle that video happened 😅 Next stop: Monterrey.
It’s like I don’t see many people on the street and it’s because TORREON is desert and mostly people prefer to go out in the night when sun is not strong and hot… I’d you walk any any of those places during night and on weekend you will have another better experience. I’m from torreon, now I live in New York. You made me miss my city a lot.
Hey, muchas gracias por visitar Torreón, espero te haya gustado venir ✌
Hola Jesús - me encanta Torreón!! Disfruté mucho mi tiempo allí 🙂
Amazing video!! But you also forgot to visit El Estadio Corona (home of Los Guerreros del Club Santos Laguna) the city’s football club ⚽️ or I should say (the region’s football club) because it’s La Comarca Lagunera 🏜🌵
It’ll be very cool if ever visit (the warriors stadium) one day and I’m sure you will love it! 🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing this with your followers, it makes me feel even more proud of being from there 🙌🏽
BLESSINGS YOUR WAY BROTHER ❤️
Hola Jesus! Si! Next time I will hopefully be able to visit the places you mentioned above. I enjoyed Torreon a lot!!!!!!! The lack of gringos gave the city an authentic Mexican feel which has been lost in almost every other part of the country. Oh and the architecture of Torreon was INSANE!!👌
Good video!! Genial por visitar torreón ♡✌🏻.
Gracias Valery! Que chido Torreón 😍
A great video, the music and rhythm of the video is incredible, a great production 👌, as well as his energy and interaction with people. Torreón is overlooked by many tourists, but now it has one of the best qualities in Mexico and you made the city more interesting. Great job!👍
Now I’m left with the craving for all the food.
thank you bro for visiting my city
Some people do not know that in the comarca lagunera , Torreón, Gómez & Lerdo, there is a Eiffel Tower, copy, it’s in Gómez Palacio Durango.
Alguna gente no sabe que en la comarca lagunera existe una réplica de la torre Eiffel Está en Gómez Palacio
Thank you foe coming yo my city I hope you hace given good interpretation AND that you hace enjoyed your stay Heres that aré doing well AND that you can go More often.I SUPPORT YOU WITH MY SUBSCRIPTION

Gracias Aurora!! 😍 Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️
thanks for your video about my city
thank you very much, welcome to torreón
Love the guy who paid the price for his 15 seconds of fame 😂 Another fun video! We agree it should be in the guidebooks!
Wasn’t his moment of fame just the best!? I couldn’t really emphasise the humour with the topic and scene being a serious one! Next time 😀!! Thanks for watching WITY TRAVELLERS!
Thanks for showing Torreon, it's a great city
Hola Pame, I agree it’s a really great place. 😃
Hi, sigue así, es bueno que hables cosas bonitas de Torreón
Hola Brenda! Amo Torreón ❤️👌!!
it's a great video and thank for visit us!
Gracias Rudy!! 😀
Hay mucho que conocer en Torreón, si estas un día de regreso te puedo dar un tour muy bueno por diversos lugares, saludos!!
Que sorpresa que desde tan lejos nos visites , gracias mil.
Hola Amiga! Si, y me encanta Torreón 👌😁
@@FinnDelMundoTravel Hola amigo, estoy intrigada, porqué te gustó visitar Torreón? Torreón es un corredor industrial y muy desértico sin mucha atracción turística ahora menos ya que la ciudad esta vacía por la pandemia. Pero estoy feliz que nos visites. Gracias !
I'm # 1 here today woohoo 🎉🥳! Truly sad 😭 and as you said make no judgements as we do not know who were the innocent and who were not. In addition to a shoeshine 👟 you need him to sew up your pants 👖 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣. Good that you gave him 50 pesos 🇲🇽 as he had to really scrub them things down. Nice vlog Finn 😎👍🏻👍🏿👍🏾🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏🏻🕉️. You got the holy bejesus taken out of you with that trek up. Care to lift 580 tons Samson 💪🏻.
Go fund me coming soon #savefinnsjeans 😅
@@brilliantbutblue That's a good one 3 Bs😎👍🏻🤣!
@@brilliantbutblue LOL! Hey! These designer jeans cost me a fortune 🤣
@@TravelingEddie Ignore her, 3B is always coming up witty remarks 😜
Haha Eddie, these jeans are my favourite 🤣👌 - sewing them would ruin them. Thanks for watching man! That was one heavy Jesus, made from reinforced concrete. Rosento the shoeshiner was a true saviour, my shoes are now sparkling clean 😃
good video dude, Torreón thanks you for talking about us.
Mil Gracias Axino!! Voy a regresar pronto 😁
Nice video I like it there. You should've went to a Santos football game super fun
Nice one my friend! I feel like I need to come over and hang out with you
Yeah Ian!! You do!!
get me out of torreon ok no, thanks for comming to my city uwu. you should try the barbacoa uwu
Foods looks yummy.. likes Filipino dish. Finn adios keep safe I like it I enjoyed watching this video of yours
I wonder if there is a similarity?! Could possibly be :)
good video I hope you come back soon
Gracias Saul! I’ll be back early 2022 for another visit if glorious Torreón 😍
I loved getting my shoes shined!! :) Visiting with the guy also very interesting!
It’s the most useful service around! I think it will become part of my weekly routine 😀!
@HIVOLCO you got your passport finally!!! When will you venture down here!?
@@FinnDelMundoTravel heading to Texas on the 10th, then shortly after that... I am going for my Permanent Residency, so I am getting Apostilles for my documents and translations done.. it's a little time-consuming but I think worth it! :)
@@FinnDelMundoTravel looking forward to your next post ;) hint**
@@hivolco151 Monterrey part 1 will be out later today 😃!! Editing it as we speak. Monterrey Part 2 will be out Saturday morning 😃
GOOD VIDEO!!!
It is great how this great city shows ✨
Gracias amigo 😃!! Glad you enjoyed it
You are in my city I’ll be down there soon and I’m so excited to eat my GORDITAS
Finn watching this video make me scared.. keep safe wherever you go in Mexico..wow Jesus your in Mexico that's why.. nice holyland. Ohh nice transportation too. I like your doing an Adventures..
Thanks Shie! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😃😀😀
My compas tell you to come to the PVC high school so you can visit it
Buen video pero te falto muchos lugares por visitar y la verdad hay tambien muchos lugares en el abandono esa es la realidad de nuestra ciudad
Did you eat gorditas, tortas payo, menudo with pan frances, late night burritos, tacos de tripa next to El Siglo and all the great places to dine at the morelos?
Hey BETO!! I tried everything except tacos de tripa. The texture and thought of tripe makes me feel uneasy 😅!! The food of the north (minus the flour tortillas) is fucking delicious! 👌🤤
Paseo Morelos at night is amazing. The tripe tacos at that place have a crunchy texture but glad you visited the north. Next time go to a Santos laguna game its the local football club.
You should have gone to a Santos Laguna game or a baseball game from Union Laguna.
The urban decay is giving Torreon a sad vibe.
I wonder if it's the same as Saltillo.
See I am a big fan of urban decay so I enjoyed the city a lot purely for that one reason. Mix in the decay of mid-century buildings (which are my favourite) and it’s a dream location. Saltillo is much prettier, I went the week after visiting Torreón but wasn’t able to film there. Prettier to me is clearly nice but I prefer Torreon’s city for the interesting buildings 😀
Come back soon 💖💖
Hola Michel, si si, claro 😍😀!! En 2022 👌
Lay off the tacos! Funny stuff
I just saw this video hello from Torreón, if you have any question about the history in Torreón do not doubt to ask me, there are many interesting facts about this city
Thanks Andrés! I couldn’t believe the history behind Torreón - for example the different immigrants from other nations who founded the city and influenced the architecture! I plan on returning early next year so might need your input for the next video 😀
Thanks to these tourists for comimg to Torreon : )
l like very much
Gracias Alberto!! 😃
Love u !!
I hope other video cool
Khe
You are cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gracias 😃
Jesus!!! 🤣
