Like your margaritas?  On your next trip, consider going right to the source -- but first, read this recent Tripatini blog post about Tequila in Tequila!

Mr. Lamkin, I am catching up on things today after a very busy Christmas holiday. I hope you had a lovely Christmas. 

Today the Philadelphia area is cold and covered with snow, but your 360-degree panorama warmed me up! Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for your response. Actually, at $32 USD/night with taxes included and all the services of water, gas, electricity, full-time maintenance staff, Internet and 1x week cleaning for a 30 night rental for 1-4 persons is cheaper than what is being charged for a room and bath at the Spanish immersion schools which usually charge around $25/per person per night with a meal included. Hotels here begin around $65 USD-$275/night.

This is our 2nd generation family business in a typical Mexican neighborhood (although there is an art school from Florence, Italy across the street!) but Cuernavaca is a city, not a small town, and a famous resort where Mexicans from Mexico City have their weekend homes, so there are state-of the art services, attractions, and cultural events happening all the time as any vibrant and interesting city might offer, but the cost of living here is not the same as small towns across Mexico. You might want to check out the State Tourism site at www.morelostravel.com to see what our state has to offer.

Thanks very much for your response. The places look lovely, and the community/location sound great; and while the prices are certainly reasonable in comparison with hotels, they are still more than our budget. We are willing to live in a typically Mexican apartment/neighborhood, so that is our price range.

Buzzy,
You might want to try the City of Eternal Spring which is in the historical highlands of central Mexico about 1 hr. from Mexico City. I have lived here for 25 yrs, coming from California and the weather is unbelievable-around 70-75° yearlong. We have a large expat community that is very active in volunteer work, music, art, theater, cooking, and the foreign community has a diverse cultural background, (not just Americans) of French, Swiss, Canadians, Dutch, Japanese, Israelis, Chinese, Italians,-well, you get the picture. Cuernavaca, Morelos has a history dating back 4,000 years and is the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution and Emiliano Zapata. The UN World Heritage Site, Xochicalco, is one of the fascinating places to visit, as too the Colonial Historic Center with it´s famous Cortez Palace now the Cuahnauhac Museum, Borda Gardens of Austrian Emperor Maxmillian and Carlota and numerous 16th Century Haciendas, Cathedrals, and Monasteries. Since every day is sunny, golf addicts abound as too sport enthusiasts of all kinds. Check out our authentic Meican affordable homes of Las Villas on http://www.cuernavaca-villas.com

Looking for a reasonable winter rental

We are looking for place to spend Jan.-Feb. Expat community or typically local environment. Ideally, a property we can take care of in exchange for reduced rent, but all offers welcome.
