Saltillo/Coahuila, Mexico: We are living in a very spacious single-story house in the suburbs of Saltillo opposite of the country club. The house is situated in an 1800m2 garden with lawn and fruit trees, as well as bougainvilles and many flowers. There is a garden guest house with a living-dining room, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom and a gazebo, as well as several terraces and a grill area close to the house where we eat and entertain very often, as the weather is almost always very nice. Come see for yourself.
