San Miguel de Allende was the frosting on the cake!!! We fell in love with it. Culture galore! Great restaurants, art galleries, museums, theaters, music….really great. We had a great Airbnb condo.

Some street scenes, churches and buildings in Centro, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are in the gallery below:
The homes in San Miguel are mostly behind walls with courtyards and beautiful interiors. Here are a few photos of some homes.
There are various hot mineral baths in the area….our favorite is La Gruta (the grotto). Acres of beautiful lawns and gardens, restaurants and pools. The pools run from medium to warm to hot. You can spend the entire day there…it’s a fabulous experience.
One of the highlights of our visit to SMA was the huge variety of restaurants and the wonderful food and courteous and prompt service.
Of course, no vacation is complete with golf, so we played a couple of times in San Miguel. My favorite course is Ventanas (Windows), which is a Nick Faldo designed course. One hole had 12 sand traps in front of the green!!
Besides great food and art, there is great music everywhere. And, an occasional horse.
About an hour away from SMA is Dolores Hidalgo….birthplace of Mexican National Independence and where they make the colorful Talavera pottery. En route is Los Laboradores development, which is lovely and unusual.
