Do you live in Cholula/Puebla?

[quinta]

My family (husband who is retired and son, who attends an online high school) and myself (chef, real estate agent and .....) will be moving to your area this month and planning to stay a while. Looking for a house to rent in either Puebla, Cholula, Atlixco or Tlaxcala area.
We are all 100% fluent in both languages and dual citizenships too, but are looking for an English language lending library we could use, anyone know if this is possible? Are there any organizations set up for expats there already? There's a pretty good Merida English Library here and wish to find something like that over there too....
We are looking forward to moving to a cooler area too....

Bienvenidos Quinta y familia.
I hope others from that side of Mexico can be of assistance. Here, at Lake Chapala Society, there is a very large lending library in English and also one at the associated Wilkes Center in Spanish. Something for everyone, including the cooler weather you seek.

I LOVE Guadalajara, yet last time we were there the pollution was heavier than in Mexico City, with both my husband and son prone to allergies.... we'd need to go again and see about this aspect.... I've been speaking to a cousin of mine that lives there and he highly recommended it....

Chapala is on the other side of a mountain range from Guadalajara, upwind, and there are no significant polluters between us and China. The weather is even better, if you can believe that.

Does anyone know how many expats are in the Puebla, Cholula, Atlixco or Tlaxcala area? Are there expat focused services there, such as clubs, american food restaurants, libraries, schools, relocation service experts, etc.?

Hi,
I know that you first posted your announcement a number of months ago. Are you still in the area or checking out this forum.
I recently moved to cholula with my daughter. A group sounds like a great idea.

Well, we moved to Puebla, beginning of April and I can report we now have a large apartment in Colonia El Mirador (great location, close to it all!)- had some problems at the start but little by little everything getting settled and ready. Loving the weather and all is very cool!
Now we can say we are locals!.....

Hello,

We moved to Puebla on March 23rd and it took us 7 days to find and rent a great apartment in town. We are currently renovating it and love the area.
There are plenty of rentals available but you'd need to go and see them as many have For Rent signs and are not advertised in the newspaper. Rents are economical (but you can go delux if you wanted to). Easiest would be to get here and go to the school / work / business where you will be at and look around that area of town for anything available. Will you be bringing your own furniture or will you buy here? Everything is available here, we brought some things and we are slowly getting what we need.
Same goes for vehicles, we brought ours from Merida, Yucatan, but there are plenty available here too both new and used.
Good luck!

I'm a 39-year-old freelance editor who's been in the area for about a year now and is going a little stir crazy. My partner is Poblano, and we speak Spanish (I'm still learning) with most of our friends. They're fabulous, but I miss having conversations in English.

Please reply if you're in the area and would like to chat.

hello, I am in Xaltapec, Puebla. I am looking for work and am going to apply for permission to stay in Mexico w/ my husband. He was in the US, but was taken by the migra. If you would like, you could <e-mail address removed by moderator; use private/guest message system> contact me with suggestions.

I'm originally from California and have recently moved to Puebla to look for work after graduating from university (I'm a dual-citizen).
It seems as if several of you have talked about doing a meet-up but I'm not sure if this ever actually panned out??
If not I would love to meet up with whoever's interested. I am located in Centro, Puebla.

Looking forward to hearing back,
Cynthia
