San Miguel de Allende is an historical city steeped in charming splendor. The city retains its majesty of long ago. You’ll soon discover that the best way to navigate the town is by foot, leisurely exploring the hundreds of crisscrossing alleyways paved in cobblestone.
Impeccably preserved, San Miguel is dotted with spectacular haciendas and colorful plazas that take you back to a golden age of architectural expression. The town’s neo-gothic church and baroque mansions seem to pierce the sky, bringing your gaze upward as often as forward.
With a rich and vibrant artistic community, you’ll delight in San Miguel’s array of Mexican folk traditions, art expositions and celebrations. At night, the traditional callejoneadas stroll the alleyways, strumming their guitars and serenading with traditional harmonies. The city warmly invites you into its cultural community, offering hands-on workshops in cooking, writing and a host of other Mexican crafts. |
Fun Fact: Visiting San Miguel is truly a small-town experience. In fact, many residents have ancestors that have lived in the city for at least a century, and they have maintained a close-knit social network around this existence. You’ll notice locals constantly greeting each other, as many of them are at least acquaintances. |
