Yabla Spanish

We are at Mexico City’s public university talking with Manuel. He tells us about the contrasts that exist within his neighborhood and what he thinks about the relationship between the United States and Mexico.

Manuel is a Mexican economics student. Here he tells us about what he likes most about his major, his future plans, and his pastimes.

Come see what's on the easel of painter Ramón Hernández-Barajas. His new painting features a beautiful gypsy woman dancing barefoot in a full skirt. Look closely at the colors and textures, and hear what the artist himself has to say.

Economics is all about production and consumption of good and services. Usually, we associate it with numbers and acronyms but in the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana they see the people behind the data. Crista is one of those students willing to chat about her school and her city.

Andreína is a woman from Maracaibo, Venezuela. She's willing to entertain us with some jokes. But be careful! They are funny but not suitable for all audiences (Even if small Ylen seems to enjoy it.)

We chat a little longer with Tijuana painter Ramón Hernández Barajas and we learn even more about his beautiful paintings. El Maestro is trying to change the face of Tijuana into a more cultural and artistic city.

Mmm. What's in that and how do you make it? We get the scoop on "nopales" (prickly pear, from a cactus plant) with tomato, onion, cilantro and hot chili peppers from a street vendor in Mexico. Buen provecho...

Ana is very happy to be a student at the UAM [Autonomous Metropolitan University]. She says that the UAM is one of the best Universities in Mexico: it is affordable, flexible and offers academic excellence.

Ramón Hernandez-Barajas, professional painter, tells us about his paintings, from composition to technique. One thing is obvious, even if it’s left unsaid: he loves to paint!

Paty loves her university as much as she loves her city. In this video she tells us about the wide variety of museums and other interesting places that Mexico City has to offer.

In this Yabla exclusive, we learn how to make “Papa a la Huancaína,” a classic Peruvian dish that’s spicy and creamy and great for the summer. Enjoy!

Viviana really enjoys studying Political Economy at the UAM [Autonomous Metropolitan University]. She tells us about her career and the plans that she has for the future and shares some insights about the large social gap that exists in Mexico.

Watch Javier as he shows you how he makes a cottage cheese fruit salad. So many colors, so many flavors, so many names!

Corn to dough and dough to tortilla. It’s simple, it’s automatic, and it’s how Alfonso and his siblings make their living. Step up to the counter to learn more.
