How do I meet people in Oaxaca City?

When we asked people living in Oaxaca City about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Oaxaca City, often join various clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. Many participate in language exchange groups, where they can practice their Spanish and help locals improve their English. Others join cooking classes to learn about traditional Oaxacan cuisine, or art workshops to explore the city's rich artistic heritage. Outdoor activities are also popular among expats in Oaxaca City. Many join hiking or cycling clubs to explore the beautiful landscapes surrounding the city. Others participate in yoga classes or wellness retreats, which are plentiful in the region. Expats also meet people by volunteering in local community projects. This not only allows them to give back to their new home, but also provides opportunities to interact with locals and other expats. Some expats also find networking opportunities through local business groups or coworking spaces. Cultural events, such as festivals and concerts, are another great way for expats to meet people in Oaxaca City. The city is known for its vibrant cultural scene, and attending these events can provide opportunities to mingle with locals and other expats. Finally, many expats meet people simply by frequenting local cafes, markets, and restaurants. These are great places to strike up conversations with locals and fellow expats, and to immerse oneself in the daily life of the city," explained one expat living in Oaxaca City, Mexico.
