A Village Like No Other

Our 480-year-old village, founded in 1542, is an architecturally preserved UNESCO World Heritage town of about 175,000, named the #1 City in the World by Travel + Leisure and the #1 Small City in the World by Condé Nast Traveler, ten times between them, so you'll have plenty of company when you fall in love with us. We're the epicurean capital of Mexico and the equestrian capital too, the second-largest wine district in the country, home to one of the largest art communities in the world, with five centuries of astounding architecture and an abundance of English-language social and cultural infrastructure unmatched anywhere else in Mexico.

Festivals and dining

We host the world's largest bilingual literary conference, the San Miguel Writer's Conference, plus the world-renowned Guanajuato International Film Festival, the International Jazz & Blues Festival, Pro Musica's annual half-year classical music program, the Festival de Música de Cámara, the La Calaca festival for Día de los Muertos, multiple theatrical playhouses, so many nightly music venues that they have a dedicated website, the occasional old-world Spanish bullfight, and over 650 restaurants on the San Miguel de Allende TripAdvisor list.

Community

If community involvement matters to you, we have over 120 nonprofit organizations in town. Pick your favorite cause- education for girls, healthcare for kids- and jump in. If just meeting people is what you're after, you won't be a stranger long: the Organic Market doubles in size every Saturday and resembles a block party with dining at farmhouse tables, while the monthly art walk at the Fabrica Aurora draws a couple of thousand of us locals to meet new and old friends.
