San Miguel de Allende is a town of approximately

160,500 people, located in central Mexico. High in the

central highlands of México, San Miguel de Allende is

blessed with over 320 days of sunshine and moderate

rainfall, most of it falling during Mexicos summer rainy

seasons. Also known to have a desertic climate, this

unique colonial town has a flavor of its own, whose

many ingredients include cobble stone streets, burros

carrying firewood, painters, photographers, sculptors,

dazzling sunsets, wonderful restaurants, and a town

square thats bursting with mariachis.

San Miguel offers visitors all kinds of activities.

waters, spend a day at a spa, or be more adventurous

with mountain biking, four- Wheeling, a ride in a hot air
