You would like it there

I've been to most of those places. They're nice. I haven't been to Puerto Angel, only because I was warned away by Mexican friends, but that was 20 years ago. And having kids with you is a huge advantage. Expect them to learn Spanish really quickly. People really appreciate any attempt at Spanish and the word for hello is "hola", pronounced ola, silent h.

The advice given here is good, but most of the advice on the forum is from people living expat enclaves and mostly newly arrived. One word of caution - don't drive at night. Mexican culture shifts at night.

Most places on the map are well known tourist spots and are attractors for petty crime, because that's where the money is. But, that's not what I think you're looking for. Check out Los Alamos. You can fly cheaply via Southwest Airlines ( get tickets 3 weeks ahead), then take a first class bus overnight to Los Alamos, about 12 hours). I will give you more advice about the place and contacts, if you privately message me.

I am an artist too and expect to establish my residence and studio there next year. I'll be there several times this Winter.
