Discover its colonial charm
If the stress of the daily grind has you in a tight corner or you are simply in immediate need of a luxurious weekend, it’s time to take a break in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. This World Heritage City offers a provincial atmosphere with every luxury and comfort.

 

The moment you set foot in the center of San Miguel de Allende, you get the feeling you’ve stepped into a time machine, with the neo-Gothic steeples of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel (Church of Saint Michael the Archangel) rising above the city, carved out of pink sandstone. The surrounding area is lined with cobblestone streets and colonial houses that have been turned into art galleries or museums. Make sure you drop in at La Esquina (The Corner) to see their vast collection of popular toys. We also recommend booking a guided tour of the Museo de la Máscara (Mask Museum), a museum created to display ceremonial masks in all their glory.

 

The mecca of artistic talent in San Miguel de Allende is Fábrica La Aurora, an old textile factory that is home to dozens of art galleries catering to every taste; with antiques, decorative items, sandstone handicrafts, glass, and jewelry, you’re guaranteed not to leave there empty-handed! If you fancy a bite, there are also restaurants and cafés.
