[Music] Nezahualcoyotl City, better known as Neza City, just like that, simply. This municipality has a lot of history, it has a lot of growth, it also has famous personalities. It has grown urbanistically a lot. Today we are going to take a tour and see what this blessed city is like. I am Aloar. Come on! [Music] Accompany me. We are located exactly on Adolfo López Mateos Avenue, corner of Pantitlán Avenue. Perhaps this is the most important nerve point of this municipality. As you can see this huge avenue, it is one of the most important where there is more commerce in this municipality. This avenue practically crosses the entire municipality of Nezahualcoyotl City, from Ignacio Zaragoza Avenue, which is Mexico City, to Texcoco Avenue, it becomes Nezahualcoyotl City, up to the Bordo Sochaca. And right here is where there used to be a fountain. The statue of the most important person in the municipality, Nezahualcoyotl, still exists. And this municipality bears the name Nezahualcoyotl, which in Nahuatl means hungry coyote, fasting coyote. Nezahualcoyotl was a distinguished poet, philosopher, and ruler of Texcoco in the 15th century. This area where all of Neza City municipality was settled was part of the ancient Lake of Texcoco, after its desiccation. And look, my father, when he arrived more than 50 years ago, tells us that practically all the lots that were sold were on water. That is, you bought a little piece of Lake Texcoco. It was divided by logs, that's what divided each of the lots when they were sold in this municipality. In this place, I still remember that there was a large fountain and in the center was that statue of Nezahualcoyotl, which by the way, look, it has a small inscription that says: "I am Nezahualcoyotl, King of Texcoco. As a child, from a tree, I saw my father die at the hands of his enemies. I gave prosperity to my people. I sacrificed my son when he perverted our law. I knew the defeat of my people, and from a tree I will sing the redemption of man." That is what they will do to my people today. Those are the words, look, I never knew exactly what Nezahualcoyotl said here, which by the way, tells us that it was made by H. Peraza, or he was the sculptor of this Nezahualcoyotl. But you see that behind him there is an immensely huge figure, and this is the sculpture of the fasting coyote, also known as the coyote's head. This monumental work is by the artist Enrique Sebastián Carvajal and was inaugurated on April 23, 2008, to commemorate the 45th anniversary of this municipality. Surely you say, "Hey, that Sebastián sounds familiar." Of course, because he is the same sculptor of "El Caballito," of the warrior Chimali, and of many very important sculptures throughout Mexico. This sculpture has a height of meters, including a concrete pedestal of 21 meters, and weighs around 300 tons. But what does this sculpture represent? According to the artist, this red-painted steel coyote looking towards the sky, obviously the coyote is a fundamental part and is a symbol of identity for the inhabitants of this municipality. To be honest, this work generated divided opinions among residents, since many wanted the fountain to continue existing, better for the fountain to work than to spend so much money on this work. The first plans or the projection of this magnificent work was that there would be a cultural center here, but unfortunately, the budget did not suffice. So we see that inside, look what it became, it's practically hollow and full of garbage and waste. Those were not the plans, but unfortunately, the money didn't reach. What you are seeing right now, formerly there was a very large kiosk here. That was completely removed because this was Plaza Santa Cecilia. In this roundabout, there are normally many Norteño musicians and mariachis who are there all night, all dawn, waiting for clients, and they used to play here. Sometimes they formed, they celebrated the Santa Cecilia patron saint in honor of her day, but that was completely removed. In its place, they put a cultural corridor where on weekends many families walk through that corridor that is on Pantitlán Avenue. It was in 1963 when this area of the State of Mexico was finally recognized as a municipality, and from then on, this filled up, or rather, it was overflowing. And according to an INEGI census, by 1970 the population reached 600,000 inhabitants. Currently, we are talking about more than 177,000 inhabitants in a small territory in Nezahualcoyotl City. Now, here's a trivia for all the people, the inhabitants of this municipality who were behind it. It was very famous and very recognized. Do you know the answer? Put it in the comments. Despite all the problems that Neza City may have, look at this data: its layout and urban design were very meticulous and well-planned. The streets and avenues follow a grid or checkerboard pattern, which facilitates orientation and mobility in the municipality. This design not only facilitates navigation but also allows for equitable distribution of services and efficient connectivity between different areas of this municipality. There is better traffic management, it offers multiple alternative routes to move from one point to another, and this earned it an award as one of the best-designed and best-planned cities in the State of Mexico. This area of the State of Mexico was really very far from the historic center, which is why people from all over Mexico arrived here. But to be honest, low-income people arrived, which is why the bad reputation of Neza City began to emerge. However, as I told you, it was so well-designed and so well-planned that there are many well-located markets, schools, cultural centers like the Jaime Torres Bodet Library, which was inaugurated in 1987. Moreover, how important did this municipality become, since it hosted a World Cup in Mexico in 1986? The Neza 86 stadium has a capacity for 28,000 attendees, and that place, which unfortunately has not been maintained in some moments, is falling apart. It was home to none other than one of the first division teams that didn't create history, it created a legend: Toros Neza. Also, just as there are good things, there are things that are quite strong, and that is that Neza City has the Bordo Sochaca, perhaps one of the landfills that at one time housed the most garbage, and all the garbage from Mexico City arrived there. Little by little, parts of the Bordo Sochaca have been closing. In fact, a very important plaza was created there, Plaza Jardín, using the land from this landfill, in addition to the creation of sports, educational, and commercial spaces. Obviously, this was a boost and significantly improved the quality of life for the inhabitants of this municipality. What are you doing around here? Working for a while. Working? What are you working on here? What do you guys think? Do you think it's safe for people? Not for us who live here, yes. But for people, someone like... Hmm, I don't know. If you ask me, I'm afraid to go to Iztapalapa because I don't know it. So, depending on which neighborhood do you think is the one where you say, "Oh, I'm not going there." El Sol. I think so too. El Sol. I think that's number one, actually. I was just talking about how my dad bought the lot with water, but it was already half dry, like mud. El Sol was water, yes. It was one of the cheapest lots sold in the municipality, and it's also one of the neighborhoods bordering the Bordo Sochaca. In fact, this part was populated first, and then it moved towards the landfill. That side was more swampy, of course. It was like part of the back of that, and all that. It's tough. Good to see you here. Where is the beer, boss? Or what? Where is the beer? The tequila? What? Nothing, just tamarind water. That's all that's left, right? After how many years of doing this? Uh, how many years have you been here? A while ago. 30. 30 years. Still when it was like that, in the lake? Yes, before, still. Sir, do you know when the mariachis started playing here in this place in Neza? Here, around '60. In '60. And do you know how it started? Why did you decide to settle here? No idea. Out of necessity, correct. Yes, a roundabout, and they pass by there, they pass by there, they pass by everywhere, and well, here it is good, and the government left us. Sir, and how has it changed since the kiosk is no longer there? Yes, fewer people came, there are fewer colleagues. It affected that side. It affected that we never had it anymore. Yes, it affected them. Almost all of them are on this side, right? Almost all of them. On that side too. Sir, and just approximately, how much does an hour of Norteño music cost? Well, depending on the area here in Neza, we charge 3000 pesos. 3000 for the hour, but played well. Or the serenades, for 15 minutes? No, no. Yes, it happens. Then, when the serenades finish, which happens when mariachis are hired by the song. Exactly. Then, not by the song. Mariachis, just halfway. Done, and let's go. Next. What is the name of the group? Norteño music. Ours is Norteño music. Originally from various places. Where are you from, boss? Michoacán. Michoacán. Uh, my dad is also from Michoacán. Pure Michoacán. How about that? We don't know. May you have a good day. Have a little sip of that water. There are Norteño musicians, there are mariachis. I've also seen jarochos here sometimes. What other type of music plays here? My friend, Norteño, trios. So, it's divided. That side, there are more mariachis, few Norteño musicians. This side, there are few mariachis, and... Oh, wow. And if you think the absence of the kiosk affected it? A little, but then you could also grab a beer there and play mariachi. The little roof is also there. They also stand there. Besides, it helped us because if you arrived with your partner, of course. How much is an hour of mariachi now? Currently, how much? 3800. How many mariachis are there? We are seven. Seven mariachis. Serenades last 3 minutes normally, or 15 minutes? Like, between four, four minutes. The "Pelusa" is already included in the remix, or "Pelusa" alone? "Pelusa" goes in the mariachi loco. Exactly. How are you, boss? Good, good, everything's good. How many years of mariachi? I have 38. 25. I have three children. He counts them by children. 38, almost 39. 39 years. How did you start? Through my father too. My father is already... this is essence. What do you play? The guitar. And you, boss? Violin. Violin? What happened? No, no, not that. Oh, I thought, no, no, not that. You play that, my friend. Trumpet. Trumpet. What is the most difficult thing to play in a mariachi? Everything has... You're absolutely right. Everything, everything has its difficulty. May the client pay. Freely. It's spent, it's spent more with the... The turn. The turn. Don't get burned. Of course. Why not? Everything's great. What's your name, boss? Víctor Martínez. Víctor Martínez. And the mariachi, what's its name? Texcaltitlán. Texcaltitlán. Ah, well, there you have it, from Mr. Director Víctor Martínez. Ah, well, I'm talking to him. Give me a price. I'm here. They gave me the price. Didn't they tell me it was 3500? Yes, that's right. 300. That director really has them tied up, man. So that it grows more. Of course. Are they being abandoned? Sir, how many serenades used to be there, and now there are no more serenades? Ugh, why should I tell you? Honestly, there were quite a few. Now there are hardly any. Sometimes two or three days without working. No way. And before, it was daily, one or two serenades or gigs. Well, an hour or a serenade. It's tough, but we're giving it our all. Why do you think there are almost no more serenades? Why isn't mariachi music used anymore? Because parents, grandparents were very into mariachi and they used to do 6, 7, 8 hours, 9 hours. Now, no. Let's go to the hotel. It's very expensive. Mariachi. That's true. That's true. What is said is said. May you have a good afternoon. Here, I'll take the card. Don Víctor, thank you. This part, well, as you can see, honestly, I've been here. And to be completely honest, I don't want to set a bad example or anything. Honestly, sometimes you'd come to have a few beers or you'd come with your michelada, you'd sit here, chat with the mariachis, chat with the Norteño musicians, they'd play a couple of songs, you'd have a good time. Everything's great. And another important point, it was very close to my house, exactly Carmelo Pérez and Chimalhuacán. Many Norteño musicians also gather there, and I met some Norteño musicians there who have lasted until today, the good, famous Norteño "Pensamiento," to whom I send a big hug and greetings. Something that was very important in this municipality, and why I tell you that this was truly the central point of the municipality, here were located this, which I believe is one of the oldest businesses. As long as I can remember, the Zapatería al Lago has always existed, which unfortunately has seen its branches disappear little by little, but this place, yes or yes, if you were an inhabitant of Neza City, you visited it as a child. A place I recommend if you live here or are visiting Neza City is to eat those tacos with suadero. You don't know what a delight. I recorded them with the "Ruta de la Gargacha." Mother of God! [Music] But I have to tell you the truth. Let's see, what is the perception or what is the reality of Neza City regarding violence and robberies? The moment when municipal police detained three alleged criminals who were trying to flee on a motorcycle in the State of Mexico, in Nezahualcoyotl, and criminal groups that call themselves members of Los Caballeros Templarios, La Familia Michoacana, and Guerreros Unidos are doing their thing in Neza. They arrested a gang of extortionists in the State of Mexico. They had a fully equipped call center from where they made calls to ensnare their victims. And yes, unfortunately, it continues to be among the municipalities with the highest crime incidence in the State of Mexico. Normally, the crimes that occur are robbery with violence, robbery of pedestrians, domestic violence, intentional lesiones, vehicle theft, and business robbery. According to the National Urban Public Security Survey in 2024, 61.1% of the population aged 18 and over in Nezahualcoyotl felt insecure during the months of April, May, and July. What I have to tell you about the population of Neza City is that yes or yes, we are very hardworking and we have moved forward despite any adversity. In terms of commerce, the number of businesses you will find on the streets of this municipality is impressive. I can assure you that right now we will take a car tour and we will find small shops, not Oxxos, but neighborhood shops on the street, perhaps one on every corner. There are corners where there are three small shops at the same time. Not only that, we will find food, all kinds of electronic devices, clothing, cafes, bars, everything you can imagine exists in Neza City. The people who lived in Neza City and had to leave this municipality or who found a better place to live will not deny it, you will miss it because of the very cheap prices you find here. Normally, when you leave Neza, everything seems more expensive. I am sure that if you know an inhabitant of Neza City, I am sure that they are a merchant. Perhaps nine out of ten people you know. Regarding shopping malls, honestly, I think Neza grew little by little, not at such large and rapid levels. The first shopping mall I knew was Plaza Neza, next to the UTN university. Behind it was La Rancherita, an impressive entertainment center. Plaza Neza was completed, and for many years it was the only shopping mall in this municipality. Later, it has grown, and the recovery of the spaces from Bordo Sochaca, now Plaza Jardín, is the most important. And to the south, because we will also talk about the part of Neza that nobody talks about, which is the Aragón part, the northern part of Neza City also has large shopping malls, even reaching Plaza Las Américas, adjacent to Ecatepec. In this municipality of only 63.44 square kilometers, as I mentioned, more than 1,077,000 inhabitants fit, which means it is one of the most densely populated areas in all of Mexico. This means there is one person per square meter, which means there are more than 16,000 people per square kilometer. This means there is one person every 59 square meters. Madness. Something else I have to mention is the growth of businesses, but also the growth of people. Look at that place you see there, Danny Burger, today it's practically a house, a building selling hamburgers, and a cafe upstairs. I knew this place when it was just a small stand on the street. The growth has been very good, truly. Because of the effort, and as I say, the inhabitant of Neza City is a fighter, we move forward. Being such a densely populated municipality and so many people living here, clearly there are illustrious people, very famous and recognized personalities, not only for fame like Gomita and her siblings who were inhabitants of this municipality, artists and musicians of the caliber of Uzielito Mix, who lives a few streets from here, also Olympic athletes like Soraya Jiménez, Belén Guerrero, a cyclist who won the silver medal, the boxer Humberto "La Chiquita" González, who raised the name of Neza City high, Edgar Navarro, a Paralympic athlete. Also in music, Aarón y su Grupo Ilusión, originally from Agua Azul, Víctimas del Doctor Cerebro, de la Maravillas, and let's not forget Charly Montaña, "El Novio de México," the icon of urban rock in all of Mexico, and also our Red Bull champion in freestyle, Mauricio Hernández, "El Asesino," a Mexican rapper and freestyler. Do you know another one? I surely missed someone, but I'm reading you in the comments. Tell me who I missed. Obviously, it carries the nickname "City" because the only thing we practically lack here is an airport, because in universities, as I mentioned, we can talk about UTN, the Technological University of Nezahualcoyotl. Also, not many years ago, Universidad Lasalle arrived, through an agreement between the municipal government and Universidad Lasalle, where they donated space to establish a university at a lower cost than the one they have in Mexico City. If you want to study at that university, studying in Neza City is cheaper because the land was donated. Furthermore, here you will find universities of everything: gastronomy, automotive, dance, because there was also a very famous dance group on the streets that reached all national television, the Mickey Dance. Academies, high schools, universities, private and public, everything exists here in Neza City. In terms of green areas, well, there really aren't as many as one would like, but we have the Parque del Pueblo, which you have already seen on this channel. That green patch we have in the municipality has a territorial extension of 8.5 hectares, practically the only lung of this municipality. Look at this type of business, like houses, they are very popular here in Neza. Many people open their doors and have a small shop, they sell baby Jesus, they sell popsicles and more, and above all, there is very good food. I can tell you that in what was formerly the CONASUPO, today it is a place of many spectacles. The Guelaguetza was held there, and in Neza City, an impressive population from Oaxaca arrived. In fact, we have some bus terminals that, let's say, are not the TAPO, not the del Norte, not the del Sur. They are in houses that suddenly become a terminal to many municipalities in Oaxaca. There are so many Oaxacans here in Neza City that it is even considered part of one of the regions of that beautiful state. Let's see, in terms of connectivity, public transport, how is Neza City? Formerly, there were only chimecos, microbuses, and vans. And the nearest metro connected to Mexico City via Line A, from Canal de San Juan, which connects with Calle 7, the first street of Neza City, up to Peñón Viejo, because Metro La Paz, Metro Santa Marta are already outside the limits of Neza City, but it was our closest metro. From wherever you were, it took you only 20, 25 minutes to get to the metro, taking your van. Currently, we have the Mexibus, which connects from Metro Pantitlán to Chimalhuacán, a neighboring municipality to Neza City, or the other option, if you want to go to the Metrobús, from Metro Tepalcates you take the Metrobús, which also connects the entire city up to Tacubaya. What we lacked in the east of the metropolitan area of Mexico City is a metro, without a doubt. With so much population density, we need it. The amount of public transport falls short. And for many years, and I think it's still said, Neza was called the largest hotel in Mexico City. Why? Millions, millions of people, and it still is today, sleep in Neza, work in Mexico City, but our urban transport, our neighborhood transport, without a doubt, is here. And surely you know it, the mototaxi. It was actually vitaxi, it transformed into a mototaxi, where with a small contribution to the driver, you get on the calandria, you go to the market, you go for your tacos, and many people transport themselves in this vehicle. And look, each one also adds their own personalization. Here we have Bugs Bunny. In fact, there are some houses like this one you are seeing, which is practically like... Look, dogs are barking. I'm not seeing you. Huka, your next project, mototaxi. Tag them, people in Neza. They are very poor. That's the reality. It's not true. In this municipality, there is a lot of money, they just don't want to show it off. There are a lot of event halls, casinos, bars, terraces, restaurants, a lot, a lot of money flows in the streets of Neza City. As I tell you, we are merchants. Life here is about commerce. Did you realize how many businesses we just passed just walking? It's a jewel, truly. Many people say they remember the neighborhood precisely because of this, because there isn't so much commerce. You go out to the street, look what I was telling you, there's a shop on the corner, on the other corner, guess what? It's just closed right now. Another shop in front, a pharmacy, and I'll also tell you, and another street, another shop, and another street, another shop. It's more over there. Look, they also sell beers over there, and because, guess what, there's another shop. And yes, many people also say, "Hey, when I go deeper into the neighborhood, when I go deeper into the streets of Neza City, you normally see the same thing, as if they were pre-made patterns, as if you say, 'We're in the same neighborhood.'" And the reality is that yes, it seems like it. It seems like everything is the same, a generalized urban sprawl, and so on. And as I told you from the beginning, it's so well designed that the patterns repeat constantly. We see a number of streets, a wide street, a number of streets, a wide street, and then an avenue, and all the patterns are exactly the same. That's why many people even get lost, they can't find the addresses because of these things. But for eating, yes, my respect, because here in Neza, the food is a 10. Let's see, for eating. Ugh, we are very close to a place I like a lot. Look, my friend Visita is here having a hamburger. Good evening. Whether on the street or in a shop, there is food. But look, we are walking to a place. Oh, I spent so much time of my life, several afternoons in middle school, high school, in this place, Pizzería Mari. I recommend it. You have no idea how. But not only that, we made a playlist called "Ruta de la Garnacha" just for Neza City, for the amount of places. Obviously, you have to come for some super basket tacos, "chilos," so you can see and I can show you that they are delicious. But we also have Don Chuy's birria, Los Cocos, the head tacos of La Maravillas, Hamburguesas Carla y Tere, Tacos El Galán, Tamalitos Clau, Hamburguesas de la Tepozanes. If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's that when I lived here in Neza City, I ate. I won't say my dad, I ate, I devoured, man. It's dangerous, Neza City. Let's ask my friend. Look, he's there. Just like that, how much is the trip, godfather? Where are you going? Here, to another neighborhood. How much does it cost, more or less? How much is the basic? Like this. Here to the market, 15 pesos. 15 is the minimum per person. Well, how many people fit in the calandria? Ah, this one, which is XL, fits five. Ah, it's XL, yes. It comes in sizes. Really? Yes. Cool. Three sit, and two comfortably. Since when have you been doing this? Approximately 5 years. 5 years. And how is it? You can't complain. Better than a factory, honestly. Cool, man. Congratulations. Everything's great. What's your name? Alex. Alex. Nice to meet you. Good luck. Let's go. Yes or no? Let's give it our all. Exactly. We were saying, I was telling people that if there's one thing the inhabitant of Neza City is, it's that they are fierce, to get ahead, somehow and in any way. Of course. Absolutely. Hey, and another big question. Do you think Neza is dangerous? It has that reputation, but not at all. Not at all. Unless you're looking for trouble, I think you'll find it anywhere. What place in the world, if you're looking for trouble, won't you find it? That's logical. Even leaving your house. Exactly. God bless you. Have a good night. Wait, as my friend says, if you're looking for trouble, you'll find it anywhere. But even so, look, for example, there are these panic buttons, and there are cameras that monitor C4i 24 hours a day. And if you have a problem... Ugh, but guess what? They stole the camera. What happened? Who's going to see me now? Me showing off the camera. Boss, show off the guard. What is this? Here's the camera, 24/7. I'm telling you, I'm telling you who beat it up. The post. Who stole the camera? It fell by itself, and it was worth it. We were there with the mechanic. Ah, so they did see it? Yes, yes. It's been years. It's the gossip. It came out, but it just fell by itself. They didn't steal it. I mean, if a patrol car, remember that a patrol car hit it hard here. Dude, here it hit hard. Well, don't you see there the... Ah, yes, yes, the stone. Because if you know Piedroso, they'll go crazy with that. Don't give them things. Hey, do you guys think Neza is dangerous or not? Look, the danger is this. Danger in different neighborhoods. Yes. Which one do you think is the most dangerous? The one where you say... Colonia del Sol. You, boss? The one over there, from Romero onwards. Agua Azul? No, from Romero onwards. From La Rubia? No, no, Mexico. To José del Pilar. From La Dos calles. Past the market. Exactly. There. Not Las Maravillas? No, no, Las Maravillas. No, I don't know, but I've seen where they set up. A nosy guy, a guy selling shoes. They come and shoot him. Sir, don't be jerks, let him sell his shoes. What do you tell them? Dangerous? This guy? I mean, a while ago he was a bricklayer, and now he's an architect. Ah, because he's multi-purpose. He's multi-purpose. God bless you. Good afternoon. Boss, how do you define the people in Neza? Just like you just said. And one more thing, the most hypocritical thing, or not dangerous? Well, I think it depends on where you go. And look, when you know the neighborhood, honestly, nothing dangerous will happen to you. I also agree with everyone who says "El Sol," but surely the people from that neighborhood think the opposite and think that other neighborhoods are more dangerous. The best thing is to be careful wherever you go. You can go to Paris, and surely they'll mug you. You'll travel to Chile, Germany, Spain, maybe the statistics will say it's less, but if you're careless and you go around with flashy things, surely what happens to you will happen. What is true is that there is something in the genes of the people of Neza City that is truly very cool. I forgot to tell you about something very important: the Arena Neza. This is located two streets from my house, and it was a place where I spent many hours of my life. My dad took me. It is still in operation. I saw AAA, Consejo Independiente Extremo, in cages, all kinds of wrestling in that place. I won't tell you it's first world either, no. I'll also tell you the truth. Yes, it needs maintenance. There are potholes in the streets, and if you think this is a lot, man, in my time, it wasn't even paved. At the beginning, like this, there are many. And the garbage, which, while it's true, is also the responsibility of the neighbors, well, look, with its potholes, but clean. That's right. Straight from north to south, from east to west, without getting lost. I have to mention it because there is an entertainment center that is extremely important for the community, and I'm referring to the famous Espartaco. It's still standing, that place in the Maravillas neighborhood. But look, around the 80s, this was one of the few places where the community was accepted, and it was openly said, your sexual preference. International caliber shows were presented there. Many trans people, many drag queens, celebrities from Mexico City went to Espartaco. Since there were no social networks, no photos, no videos, look, that was the bomb, the boom. Many people know it and it's still standing. Well, how much has Neza grown that today our municipal president, Adolfo Cerqueda, is openly homosexual? Look, this place has unfortunately been suspended, the walkways. But what I really miss a lot about Neza City are the micheladas. Ugh, neighborhood micheladas. Look, another shop, so you see I'm not lying. The neighborhood michelada here in Neza City is served in a masterful way. There should be a michelada university. Surely in Neza, that would be the cathedral. Undisputed. How I miss you. How long have you been living in Neza, boss? Just give it a try. I've been here since I was 8 years old, more or less. 50. 50 years. Where are you from? Michoacán. Man, from what part of Michoacán? What beauty! And do you miss Michoacán, or will you miss Neza now? I have family, I'm going to visit. Do you think Neza City is dangerous? It's dangerous everywhere. It's dangerous not to eat. How was Neza before? How did you see it? How did you arrive here? You saw the lot with water, with mud. Ah, it was like that back then. How did you arrive to buy here? It was pure mud in the streets. Well, now we are in glory. Back then. Thank you very much. Take care, may God bless you. Likewise. Afternoon. By the way, it's also important to tell all of you that the movie Roma has certain parts that were filmed here in Neza City. Part of the story happened here in Neza City. That famous movie that you surely saw in the cinema. I tell you, years ago, Neza, truly, despite having this bad reputation, low-income people, yes, there were very important things. For example, I can tell you that there was a bullring, Plaza A, and Carmelo Pérez Avenue is in honor of where this bullring was located. It's called Carmelo Pérez in honor of Silverio Pérez's brother. Currently, the bullring is not there. Currently, it's a supermarket. I hope you liked this video very much. By the way, listen to that. There goes the tamale seller. Also in Neza City, it was an endless number of urban sounds, like the bisquetes. The rich and delicious Oaxacan tamales have arrived. Sweet potatoes, and lots of sound. Take care. I am Alo Villar. Do your part, visit Neza, and eat some super basket tacos. See you in the next video. Look, another shop. [Music] H [Music]
