Some time in the next few years I will be retiring, and am considering moving to Mexico. My undergraduate degree is in Classical & Romance Languages, so I don't expect language to be a problem.
I don't want to be on the coast, and I want somewhere that has an expat community, but hasn't been over-run with gringos, someplace with a good artistic/cultural life; someplace large enough to have amenities, but small enough for a sense of community.
I had been thinking San Miguel de Allende, but I have heard that it has become over-run with gringos, and is very pricy. Can anyone suggest somewhere similar to SMA, but less pricy and less of a gringolandia?
