San Miguel de Allende

About

Spearheaded by a culture shift by its foreign residents, San Miguel de Allende has become a prime location for tourists looking for mild-climate, diversity and laid-back atmosphere. The historical core has been adopted by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Walking through its characteristic cobblestone pathways, you will find yourself to be in a time capsule, as the city works tirelessly to maintain its trademark colonial aesthetic. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, built in 1880, is one of the most photographed churches in Mexico, and its colourful spires can be seen from all parts of San Miguel de Allende. The Juarez Park further defines San Miguel de Allende by its mix of French and Neoclassical architecture. Casa de Allende was the home of Ignacio Allende, an inspirational figure of the Mexican War of Independence. Converted into a museum, Casa de Allende characterizes the proud nature of the city’s history.
