Mexico Vacations - San Miguel De AllendeSan Miguel De Allende
Mexico Vacations - San Miguel De Allende San Miguel de Allende mixes the best aspects of small-town life with
the cosmopolitan pleasures of a big city. Most of the buildings in the central part of the town date from the colonial era or the 19th century; the law requires newer buildings to conform to existing architecture, and the town has gone to some lengths to retain its cobblestone streets. San Miguel has a large community of Americans: some retired, some attending art or language school, and some who have come here to live simply and follow their creative muses -- painting, writing, and sculpting. The center of this community is the public library in the former convent of Santa Ana. It is a good place to find information on San Miguel or just to sit on the patio and read. A notable aspect of San Migueleña society is the number of festivals
it celebrates. In a country that needs only the barest of excuses to hold
a fiesta, it is known far and wide for them. Most of these celebrations
are of a religious character and are meant to combine social activity
with religious expression. People practice Catholicism with great fervor
here -- going on religious pilgrimages, attending all-night vigils, ringing
church bells at the oddest times throughout the night (something that
some visitors admittedly might not find so amusing).
