San Miguel is known around the world for its vibrant art community, architecture, heritage, and historic past. The
cobblestone streets and colorful sun washed walls give way to courtyards of beautiful lush gardens and the soft sounds
of distant church bells.
Founded in 1542 by a Franciscan missionary and in 1926 declared a National Monument, it has become a world class
destination.
Brimming with art galleries, outstanding restaurants, and excellent shopping, visitors delight in its diversity.
The Instituto Allende Art School opened in the late 1930’s and is ranked one of the best in the world to study
varied forms of art and learn Spanish.
San Miguel boasts outstanding climate and draws travelers year round with its clear blue skies, warm sunny days,
and cool crisp evenings. At 6400 ft. altitude, it feels like Spring the year round. This community is rivaled by
few other towns in Mexico.
Located in the high central plains in the state of Guanajuato, you are approximately 171 miles from Mexico City
and 65 miles from Leon, the closest airport.
