The BEST GORDITAS EVER at Mexico's EIFFEL TOWER? | GÓMEZ PALACIO, Durango | TORREÓN'S Sister City

GÓMEZ PALACIO, DURANGO, MEXICO - Welcome to Part 1 of a 4 part series based out of the city of Torreón, Coahuila! In this 2021 Mexico Travel video, we’re exploring the city of Gómez Palacio, Durango. In subsequent videos we are visiting Matamoros, Lerdo and also a second video from Torreón itself!

Gómez Palacio is Torreón’s sister city, across the river Nazas on the state line between Coahuila and Durango. Both cities have an industrial past and are often forgotten about and not on everyone’s lists when it comes to travelling in Mexico. Not anymore!

Gómez Palacio has some of the best food on offer in Mexico (comida Mexicana - Mexican food!), including (possibly the best gorditas ever!) gorditas de discada and asada rojo. Discada is traditionally prepared on a farming harrow (like a disc) and is made of various pork-related meats such as bacon, ham and sausage. Asada rojo is pork in a spicy red sauce - unbelievably good!

As well as heading to a local mercado, we explore the central square, the railway, an abandoned building and even Mexico's Eiffel Tower! (yes, Gómez has one too!)

This series of videos is about exploring real-life in Mexico and how actually getting to know people in a city can make all the difference to your experience!

If you're thinking about moving to Mexico or becoming one of the increasing number of expats in Mexico, your choices aren't limited to popular areas like Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. You might even be looking for off the beaten track Mexico. You might ask the questions, "Is Mexico Safe?" or, "Is Mexico dangerous. Sinaloa is a state that, granted, you'll need to be able to speak Spanish in, but the city and state has so much to offer, just as much as those other places!
