Looking for the picturesque city with perfect weather and an amazing variety of activities? San Miguel de Allende is the vacation for you. You are welcome to this magical town with the beautiful scenery. By the way, San Miguel celebrated its 450th anniversary in 1992.
The physical exquisiteness of San Miguel stems from the hillside setting of its many lovely old buildings and streets, which offer vistas over the plains and distant hills and mountains.
The Mexican government even went as far as to declare the entire town a national monument, ensuring that the cobblestone streets and colonial architecture would retain their original colonial charm. Sitting roughly 6000 feet on top of the highlands, or the Bajio of Mexico, San Miguel has a very agreeable climate and superbly clear light, which is one of the many reasons so many artists have come.
You can find a wide array of activities day and night in San Miguel. It is known all through Mexico for being the town that likes to have a fiesta for just about any reason. As the other saying goes, they only shot off fireworks in San Miguel on days that end in Y. Perhaps you should not take our word for it; maybe you should come and discover it for yourself.
Located 60 kilometers north of Queretaro, the colonial gem of San Miguel de Allende population 80,000, is situated on a hillside facing the Laja River and the distant Guanajauto Mountains. Declared a national monument in 1926, San Miguel is a picturesque city of arched colonial mansions, flower-filled patios, and winding, terraced cobblestone streets.
It is Mexico's most celebrated artists' community, and has been luring artistically-inclined Mexicans and foreigners (about 3,500 Americans and Canadians) for decades. Instituto Allende, founded in 1951, is an intellectual center and arts academy of renown. There are also many other institutes focusing on arts, literature, and language. Despite this Anglo invasion, San Miguel is very Mexican village.
