San Miguel de Allende is all about relaxing. Sit in the main plaza and watch the children play. Walk up and down the cobblestone streets until you can't walk any more. Then buy an ice cream and sit on the main plaza again.
It's about art! Take a class at the Instituto Allende. Take jewlery. Take creative writing. Take drawing. Or, just walk around with your camera. You'll find plenty of worthy subjects. Of, check out the local art for sale. From a $10 nicho (see www.folkartsma.com to get an idea) to a several thousand dollar painting, there's no shortage of art to admire and buy to take home at local boutiques and galleries.
To get an idea of what's in store for you in San Miguel read On Mexican Time -- a beautifully written story of an American who made the move to San Miguel. |
