San Miguel de Allende

 

Founded in 1541, only 22 short years after Cortez landed in Mexico and almost 100 years before the first settlement in the United States, San Miguel de Allende boasts an almost 500 year history and as a newly nominated World Heritage Site, its rich colonial legacy and traditions will continue to be preserved.

San Miguel de Allende is located in the center of Mexico and is full of romantic cobble stone streets lined with colorfully preserved colonial homes, incredible restaurants, fun bars, and sensational stores and galleries which is why just this past year San Miguel was chosen the #1 Best City in the World by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler.

San Miguel currently has thousands of luxury vacation/retirement homes, about two dozen very posh B&B’s, a few dozen 3 to 4 star hotels, and is now home to the newest Rosewood Hotel and several other 5 star hotels including Matilda and the Sierra Nevada.
