Insider Tips from Expats in Saltillo: Making the Most of Life and Connections
"Saltillo appears to be a much friendlier city than others I have lived in (Puebla, Cuernavaca, Toluca). However, it was not easy to get to know people until I got connected with the Saltillo International Church (www.saltillointerationalchurch.com). They have bilingual services on Sundays, and for those who may not be "church-y" (or, like me, prefer the neighborhood church) have book studies for adults, men, and women throughout the week. Also, if your Spanish is decent www.desaltillo.com is helpful to find out events that are going on in town. If you friend them on facebook, they'll send daily updates--so helpful for me, as we don't regularly buy the newspaper," said one expat living in Saltillo.
"Expats in Saltillo can join several clubs and activities in the city, such as English-language book clubs, salsa lessons, recreational sports, or yoga classes. Expatriates can also explore the city's many parks and cultural sites, visit a salon de te, or attend local events like the Bullfighting Festival of Santa Rosa. Other ways to meet people include joining a local church or attending expatriate events like dinners, language exchanges, and happy hours. Expats can also get involved in volunteer opportunities like teaching English to schoolchildren or working in a local animal shelter. Finally, networking is key; expatriates can reach out to their existing contacts or ask locals for suggestions on meeting new people," wrote a member in Saltillo.

"Saltillo is a small city/large town, so it's relatively quiet here. People here seem more respectful of their neighbors than in other areas of Mexico. For example, in general people don't blare their music from their homes or use their car horns as doorbells. People work hard and enjoy their families. While social stratification runs the gamut here, in general people are friendly and laid-back. While soccer is still a huge pastime, baseball appears to be just as popular, if not more popular, than soccer. Saltillo's professional baseball team won the 2009 national championship, and I always hear my neighbor kids hitting a ball around. Saltillenses are good runners, too. Every June, the city hosts a half-marathon, and throughout the year there are a variety of 5K and 10K races. Saltillo also boasts a plethora of good public parks--great for picnics, enjoying some green spaces, or playgrounds for kids," commented an expat living in Saltillo.
"Saltillo is an attractive destination for expats and digital nomads due to its low cost of living, friendly locals, and vibrant culture. Expats and digital nomads in Saltillo can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, with plenty of outdoor activities, delicious food, and a variety of cultural attractions. The city is also well-connected, with easy access to the rest of Mexico and the United States. Expats and digital nomads in Saltillo can find a variety of accommodation options, from shared apartments to luxury villas. The city also offers a wide range of amenities, including excellent healthcare, reliable internet, and a variety of coworking spaces. Overall, Saltillo is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads looking for a safe and affordable place to live and work," said an expat in Saltillo.
