San Miguel de Allende is a vibrant community located in Guanajuato, Mexico, nestled on a hillside with a spectacular view of the Guanajuato Mountains. San Miguel de Allende is filled with cobblestone streets, old mansions and centuries old cathedrals. The town is located four hours from Mexico City, and is home to two major art institutions. Wander down the streets and discover 18th century mansions, lovely fountains and historic monuments – all reminders of San Miguel’s illustrious past. San Miguel also has a surprisingly large number of very good international restaurants. In fact, San Miguel has a reputation for having the best “small town” dining in all of Mexico. Shopping is also very diverse. A special artisans’ market sells traditional crafts, furniture, ceramics, folk art, silver jewelry, tin, glass and more. One block north of Calle Mesones is a traditional covered market that sells fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and meats.
