The sunlight hits the distinctive colonial buildings and ignites the facades dramatic colors and throws into contrast the spice rack and sherbet shades. Glimpses of breathtaking scenery are discovered through narrow gaps on the winding cobbled streets. San Miguel de Allende resonates with the sounds of church bells, the mariachis and the clop of the horse guards.

The colonial city of San Miguel de Allende is awash with a cultural mix of the fine arts and traditional craftsmanship still practiced with the same tireless skill as when it was founded almost 500 years ago.
