With a mix of comedy, drama, and heart, “Vecinos” has become one of the most beloved sitcoms in Mexico and beyond.

Meet the characters from Vecinos

German Martinez

Okay, German is that guy — the tottering heart of the block who thinks he’s just a regular neighbor but secretly runs the emotional weather. He’s practical, a little bossy, hates surprise parties (unless he organizes them, which is always), and has this ridiculous pride about his screwdriver collection. He remembers everyone’s birthdays but forgets where he parked his car five minutes ago — classic. Somehow grumpy and soft at the same time, like a grizzly who knits on Sundays.

Silvia Olvera

Silvia is pure soap-opera energy in a cardigan: dramatic, warm, and always delightfully involved in everyone’s life (for better or worse). She flirts with disaster like it’s her hobby — claims she hates conflict but will file a complaint for you and then bring homemade empanadas to smooth it over. She’s super fashionable, or at least she thinks she is, and owns approximately twelve different lipstick shades that all look the same. Also surprisingly good at fixing leaky faucets, which she swears she learned from a YouTube video at 3 a.m. once.

Magdalena Perez

Magdalena is fierce, loud, and the neighborhood referee — the kind of person who will yell at your kid for climbing a tree and then knit them a sweater five minutes later. She’s got this old-school boss-lady vibe with a soft spot for romantic novels (don’t tell anyone, she’ll roll her eyes), and she can out-sass anyone before breakfast. Ultra-organized, except there’s always a mystery drawer in her kitchen full of random festival ribbons. She’s moral, maternal, and will judge you but also mysteriously know your shoe size.

Arturo Lopez

Arturo tries so hard to be suave, like he read one book on charm and decided that was his brand — sometimes it works and sometimes he trips over his own lines. He’s the wannabe-casanova of the block who quotes poetry at odd hours and then forgets the name of the person he’s talking to (adorable chaos). He’s ambitious, small-scale drama king, and also weirdly sentimental about bad old movies and his first lawnmower. Expect good intentions, questionable execution, and costume jewelry that he thinks makes him mysterious.

Lorena Rivers

Lorena is kind of the modern lightning bolt in the neighborhood — stylish, sharp, very into sustainability and also snacks, like will tell you to compost while offering you a cookie. She’s independent and smart, occasionally awkward in a cute way, and maybe has two phones? (Might be a lie, might be real.) Loves organizing community events but gets distracted by urban gardening projects and a random flock of pigeons she feeds. She gives excellent life advice and terrible dating advice, usually in the same breath.

Pedro Medina

Pedro is the crusty-but-wise elder who would grumble about newfangled gadgets and then secretly own three of them because curiosity wins. He’s grouchy, nostalgic, and has a million stories that may or may not be slightly embellished — he swears he once rode a camel cross-town, for example. Deep-down a softie who bakes the best sweet bread and will bench-press your mood with one gruff word of encouragement. He hates being called old but will happily schmooze with toddlers, stray cats, and anyone who brings good salsa.
