San Miguel de Allende, Mexico The jewel of Mexico's colonial era, San Miguel de Allende, hidden in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, exhibits some of Mexico's finest colonial architecture. Since being declared a National Monument in 1926, all architectural changes in the historical center are banned, signage is regulated, and neon is forbidden. The charm of the town is subtle and is to be absorbed and savored as you walk its cobblestone streets; peer through large wooden doors to discover gardens of bougainvillea, hibiscus and calla lilies; and sense its age as the many church bells mark the time of day, call to mass or announce a Saint's day. Our hotel, Casa de La Noche, is conveniently located within a 10 minute walk of the jardin (town center). The hotel includes several plant filled patios where we will enjoy our morning breakfast each day. Daily temperature range is 65-70 degrees with almost no humidity-a perfect climate! Our September trip is a mix of time to explore on your own (botanical gardens, shopping, local market) and planned activities-a guided walk of San Miguel, a day trip to Guanajuato (boyhood home of Diego Rivera), a half day in Delores Hidalgo and to the shrine of Atotonilco. We are in San Miguel during festival week which means processions, music, Indian Conchero dancers, and fireworks. It will delight you! |
