Located in the mountains of central Mexico, San Miguel de Allende is world famous for its temperate climate, colonial architecture and Mexican flare. San Miguel is also a mecca for the arts, with two major art institutes, numerous galleries and too many artists-in-residence to count. Attracted by this atmosphere, there's a sizable foreign community, lending a cosmopolitan flavor to its activities.
Many people have elected to retire here, which has brought about a number of conveniences that would normally not be available in a town of this size:
- The Biblioteca Pública is a non-profit institution which has made available many thousands of books in both English and Spanish to the community. It is also the second-largest collection of English language books in Mexico.
- There is an active theatre community and rarely a weekend passes without some play or another running in one of our theaters.
- El Teatro Angela Peralta often is host to traveling productions as varied as Flamenco Guitarists to Chinese Acrobats.
- Many quality restaurants, bars and other services that normally cannot be found in a town of this size.
Several airlines offer flights to nearby airports convenient to San Miguel, including Guanajuato/Leon (BJX), Queretaro (QRO) and Mexico City (MEX). Private car transportation or shuttle service can be arranged.
