This Plaza in Mexico City is Dedicated to Mariachi! (Plaza Garibaldi, CDMX Vlog)
Mexico City blew our expectations out of the water! It's a city that we've wanted to visit for YEARS and to be honest we didn't know exactly what to expect. It's an incredible and beautiful city and would take years to truly explore the whole place. The truth is, it's enormous. Every neighborhood is so different and unique from one to the next and there's so much to breakdown in CDMX. We've decided to split our videos from there into different chapters or 'stories', in our series: Mexico City Stories.
Since this is the first one, we included our very first impressions of Mexico City in the video. It's now one of our favorite cities in the world. It reminded us a bit of Madrid, New York City, even a bit of Paris, but it's all Mexico and that full package is what really makes it so unique.
In this story, these clueless gringos learn about a huge part of Mexico's iconic culture...MARIACHI! There's no better place to experience mariachi in CDMX than Plaza Garibaldi...which is literally an entire plaza or city square dedicated to mariachi music. As soon as we found out about it, we had to book a hotel directly in the plaza's only hotel. We kept extending our stay because we were so impressed. We seriously loved the hotel and plaza so much that I think it's where we'll stay every time we visit the city, at least for short visits.
It doesn't hurt anything that the plaza has a very affordable late-night museum that gives you the full history of mezcal and tequila, along with shots of all the best MEXICAN MADE alcoholic beverages...how cool is that??
Full disclosure: we really didn't know much at all about mariachi before staying on Plaza Garibaldi...only that we loved the sound of it and it is inherently Mexican, that's it. I think most of us gringos in the US are well aware of Mariachi but many of us really are clueless about what it really is and the background of it. We certainly didn't. We got an education on the history and styles of mariachi and wanted to share a bit of our experience with you guys. Staying on the plaza was an amazing and eye-opening cultural experience for us and we had the time of our lives. We can't recommend this place enough.
Hope you enjoy the video! For all of you who have been traveling with us for awhile now, thank you so much for your support! If you're new here, consider subscribing. It's free and easy and keeps us going. We have a lot more stories to tell. :)
Also, we love to see your comments! Truth is, we learn a lot from everyone's comments and actually use that to help us explore more unique places, learn more about where we visit, and then add that in to the videos for everyone else to learn as well. Plus, it's just enjoyable to read what everyone has to say. Hope everyone's 2022 is going great so far.
