San Miguel de Allende sits in the center of Mexico, with its beautiful Spanish architecture and always-thriving art scene.
Referred to as the Heart of Mexico, this place is a combination of Hispanic and Mesoamerican influences, with baroque, neoclassical, and neogothic buildings as backdrop.
Mexico considers San Miguel de Allende its first modern municipal government, formed after the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence.
Just a 10-hour drive from the U.S. border, it is home to a large community of retirees from the United States, Canada, and Europe.
