“You can feel the money in Monterrey. There is just about every American Big Box retail outlet there and serves as the base for many international corporations.
Monterrey is booming. The second wealthiest city in Mexico and the ninth in Latin America. It is a world “Beta City” cosmopolitan and competitive.
Monterrey is also rich in culture and history which is sadly overlooked. Instead Monterrey is the most Americanized city in Mexico. Sing with me…”Everythings better in America….”
