Introduction
After Living and working in Spain and Mexico plus various places in the States, I decided to retire to Mexico. Coatepec is in the highlands 15 min. from Xalapa, the capital of Veracriz. Some of the finest coffee in the world comes from here. It's a quiet, easygoing place with friendly people. The weather is on the hot and humid side but not oppressively so.

I joined expat.com on 11 May 2009.

Architecture, history, culture. Numerous cultural events every month. Living close to historic center, everything is within walking distance.
