    Simply amazing church. Reminded me a bit of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Numerous photo ops around the plaza. Lots of people lots of fun!

    We happily discovered this last week and I wish we had all day to spend here. Over 40 artists studios and galleries and restaurant. If you are an at lover and want to support the arts I highly recommend that you visit. . The building is huge and divided up into sections. It's just so fun! Next time we visit we are setting aside at least half a day to spend looking at art and engaging with the artists.

    Working with EXIM has been incredible. They have fabulous pieces. We have ordered 5 pieces of art from them and they were all shipped to Dallas, Texas. Very easy experience. The pieces were not damaged in transport. You can’t beat the prices for the quality. Highly recommend.

    If you are staying in San Miguel, this is a great half day trip. We were there on a Sunday, and the street is alive with food and other small shops.

    I come sit here every day. It's become my routine to get a late-morning cup of coffee and just sit here and soak up the vibe. And I'm often here late afternoon or evenings as well. The park is spotless, it seems there are people sweeping the pathways 24x7. There is often wandering musicians, sometimes groups of 6 - 10 people playing and singing. And the view of the Parroquia is stunning. It's just a fantastic place to sit and relax. There are vendors selling ice cream and other food depending on the day, and there are often events, like food markets, or crafts fairs on the square. My favorite spot in SMdA!

    It is mind boggling to imagine the days of long ago when another culture lived and reigned in the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende. Mr. Coffee is an expert in archeology of this area. His love for the area is very evident. It can be hot so be sure to take a hat and water. The walk is a bit on the uphill, but nothing too strenuous. The transportation from town is easy and the morning ran smoothly. It is nice seeing the country side away from the activities in the city center.

    This is a high end, high quality gallery that features authentic Mexican folk art. All of the artists are identified and most pieces signed. The collection is an outstanding array of hand crafted items including ceramics, textiles, metalwork and sculptures. The gallery is in a beautiful setting surrounded by pools that made Atotonilco famous. It is an easy Uber ride from San Miguel de Allende and can be included as a side trip after seeing the fantastic church at Atotonilco.

    It is a very historical place although it doesn't have an airport there are various ways to get there from MXCD either by bus or private shuttle the trip is between 3-4 hours time. The city is very colorful and interesting it has an important part in Mexico's war of independence from Spain the city is full of art ant artisans the restaurants are. great and very affordable. There are possibility of day tours that are arranged by different companies those tours are in San Miguel or to tones around we spent 10 days there not being bored one minute I highly recommend this place

    This is a beautiful, peaceful park. There are plenty of benches and shade, and the park was very clean when I visited. There's also a playground.

    Very clean market, very nice shops. Great variety too. I expected better prices than in the centro but really can’t say they were. Some things were the same, but others were not of the same quality. It was supposed to be open until 7 but many shops were closed late afternoon. We went in a Tuesday , and it is possible that most people were at the “Tuesday Market.” Still a nice place to visit. Just know your comparable prices! There was a clean restroom there but 10 pesos for TP!

    This was such a wonderful experience. Ruben was excellent, visiting the market was a cool experience and the cooking class was exceptional. The food we prepared was such a great meal. I recommend this and would do it again!
