Mexico speaks spanish, there are many cities that were founded when Mexico was the New Spain before the independence that have the same architecture than those found in Spain, although they got influenced by the culture here, Mexicans as well as Spaniards, look for any excuse to throw a party, the culture is laidback and relaxed, not too uptight or restrictive, people live to be happy, not to work or follow rules.
And even though I hate them, Mexico has bullfights too, lots of them.
Yet, Mexico is a very large country compared to Spain, which is about the size of Chihuahua, the largest State of Mexico, and it has several influences, the center of Mexico is very Mestizo, el Bajio is very spanish, and the states near the border are very americanized, the southeast is the most Indian of all, but even there you can find beautiful colonial cities like Campeche.
Btw, there is a Guadalajara in Spain and one in Mexico, there is a Celaya in Spain and one in Mexico, there is a Salamanca in Spain and one in Mexico, there is a Leon in Spain and one in Mexico, we could go on and on, but to have a better idea of what i'm saying you would need to visit both countries.

If I didn't know where those pictures were taken, I could have guessed Paris or Rome.
No, haha. You should go to Quebec some time, it is more "French" than France. Its language is 18th century French frozen in time and they refuse to integrate any English vocabulary.
Mexico is not even made up of the same genetic stock as Spain first off. Secondly, the language is a bastardisation of true Castilian Spanish.

In New Mexico, Spanish people speak a "frozen" colonial era Castilian Spanish, or at least people of my grandmother's generation did (many more Mexicans there now than there used to be). It differs enough to where my grandma's Mexican friends tease her for her word choices at times, and she has to remind them it's correct where she is from.
I think "bastardization" is a pretty harsh term though. I mean, you could say the same about American English....
Well Quebec is nicer than France and is not a giant ghetto like France. Where as spain is generally nicer than Mexico, but the nice parts of mexico are better than spain because there are more rich people in mexico than spain

Spin it however you want, but Mexico is a dump compared to Spain
