The Insider’s Guide to the Best of Mexico is a unique collection of insider stories that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s your passport to a country full of color, culture, and contrasts.

Forty-two writers, artists, educators, travelers, business owners and others share their experiences inside today’s Mexico. Most of those who contributed stories are expatriates who have found opportunity and inspiration in Mexico. From hidden beaches to one-of-a-kind art to historic gems, The Insider’s Guide to the Best of Mexico offers both recommendations and revelations.

These stories are neither formal guidebook, social commentary, nor a substitute for unbiased news. They are an effort to share a landscape and lifestyle that have found a place in the hearts of so many.

Whether you are contemplating your next vacation, retirement, work-related move to Mexico, or are simply an armchair traveler, we hope you enjoy these insider stories.

So, I discovered over a third of my DNA is from people of Mexico. My relatives trace their roots back there. I had no clue but now I am interested in learning all about the people, the cultures etc. This book is very insightful. It's easy to read and has images too which are a huge plus for me.

This is the Mexico You Will Not Hesitate to Love or Visit

Carmen Amato is one of my favorite Authors along with another Lady with the initials J.S. and a Gentleman with the initials J.S. Both are contributors to this book.
Carmen used part of my review in her Forward which I read last, after finishing the book (just kidding). I abandoned the "Alice in Wonderland" process of starting at the beginning, going to the middle and then....

For the most part the contributors are published writers, Insiders writing about the Mexico they know from years of living there or frequent visits to Mexico. I have read books by many of the contributors to this book. They write about the cities. Mexico City, Guadalajara among the largest and the San Miguel de Allende of John Scherber. However they transport us to the smaller municipalities like Lake Chapala, or "A Magical Place Called Chacala" on the Riviera Nayarit.

There's a section on food and restaurants, some small and some large. Warning! Do not read the section on food on an empty stomach. If you're hungry then have some Tacos or Enchiladas and Guacamole nearby.

Each presentation in the book is like a snapshot in time. None of the articles are long enough to become boring. Before that happens you are into the next essay/article or the next section.

Should you be thinking of visiting or retiring to Mexico, this book is a must read. If you are not contemplating moving anywhere it's still a good read.
Ms Amato provides the reader with contact information on most of the authors listing their blogs or their publishers or businesses. Don't hesitate to contact them.

Thanks Carmen for all of the experiences you and your team have given me and the other readers.

5 stars for essays that relay to the reader personal loves and highlights of Mexico like a fireside chat with traveling friends. No lengthy chapters of details. This is a fun quick read that makes me wAnt to visit nearly every place mentioned. Well Maybe not the place with Cabeza tacos....

It was a gift so I didn't see the rocks but my friend said her grand children loved them. Only down side is it took at least a week to be delivered and was supposed to be two day PRIME.
