San Miguel
The views of San Miguel de Allende are spectacular from their look-out points to the east of the city where you can admire the valley around and enjoy the sunsets.
In a city founded during the Viceroyalty, you will feel the magic of the Colonial architecture, with beautiful temples, chapels, streets and beautiful houses, from sober Baroque styles to Neo-gothic, cobbled streets up and down invite romance, tranquility, and the desire to enjoy a leisurely walk for a better appreciation of this beautiful city.
