Where to buy

While Spanish is the most widely-used language, there are communities of foreign residents who have decided to make Mexico their home.

The area you choose will depend to a large extent on your intended life style. The beaches along the Caribbean are among the most beautiful in the world; the southern region boasts a rich cultural and pre-Hispanic legacy; in the central region there are large cities with the hustle and bustle of cultural, commercial and industrial life. In the low lands you will find stunning historic towns whose stately charm will take you on a journey to Mexican colonial times. Along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez you will find the welcoming, friendly atmosphere Mexicans are known for. Finally, the northern region, home to thriving cattle-breeding and industrial activities, represents an excellent option for doing business.
