Living
Abroad in Mexico, available from Amazon in paperback, or digital for your Kindle.
Putting Down Roots
If you'll buy a home in Mexico, you may need to learn about the fideicomiso; if you want to stay in Mexico for periods longer than six months, you also need to learn about the FM-3 visa.
Cooking in Mexico
In the markets, you'll be speaking Spanish and you will need to deal with metric units. The food page has practical references and conversion tools for temperature and units, Spanish names of spices, and links to market and currency resources.
Stay Awhile – Learn the Language!
Even if you never reach fluency, you'll open doors and minds, even touch hearts, by improving your facility with Spanish.
The books below are popular Spanish language learning resources for Americans or Canadians in Mexico. Also see language resources on the tools page.
