id=\"Things-to-do-in-San-Miguel-de-Allende\"><\/span>Things to do in San Miguel de Allende<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-allende-garden\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Allende-Garden\"><\/span>Allende Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza Principal, as the name suggests, is one of the main places to visit on your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as Jardin Allende, this square is characteristically lively. Not only is it surrounded by beautiful and emblematic buildings such as the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel, but it also hosts various events throughout the year. So don&#8217;t hesitate to stroll around this lively square full of music and colour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-temple-of-san-francisco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temple-of-San-Francisco\"><\/span>Temple of San Francisco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are an architecture lover or not, you can&#8217;t miss this imposing temple located in the Plaza de San Francisco during your trip to San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite having a style difficult to classify even for the most expert, this building intermingles baroque and rococo styles, besides having a detailed ornamentation that turns this infrastructure into an authentic architectural marvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-allende-institute\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Allende-Institute\"><\/span>Allende Institute<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Instituto Allende, located in Ancha de San Antonio, is a beautiful building surrounded by gardens and a private chapel. It was built in the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, this institute is dedicated to host certain social events within a beautiful inner courtyard. It also offers a large art gallery and even restaurants where you can stop for a rest in the most welcoming surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-church-of-the-immaculate-conception\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Church-of-the-Immaculate-Conception\"><\/span>Church of the Immaculate Conception<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Considered one of the most beautiful churches in the city, this religious temple is located right in the historic centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the various architectural elements that make this church an imposing building, its dome is undoubtedly the most characteristic and impressive part. In addition, you can access the interior and contemplate the atrium, another of the most famous points of this emblematic place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-craft-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Craft-Market\"><\/span>Craft Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the great variety of markets you can visit in the city, the Mercado de Artesanias is undoubtedly the most visited in San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you stroll through the different stalls, you will be able to get some of the most affordable prices for handicraft products. Moreover, you will find stalls selling paintings, clay figures, jewellery and embroidery, among others. A 100% recommended visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-san-miguel-arcangel-parish-church\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"San-Miguel-Arcangel-Parish-Church\"><\/span>San Miguel Arcangel Parish Church<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This parish church is currently one of the most emblematic and well-kept symbols of the city. The first version had a baroque style, but it was destroyed and later rebuilt, this time in a neo-gothic style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undoubtedly, the most striking feature of this building is its impressive fa\u00e7ade, which most travellers take pictures of. Inside, you will be amazed by its meticulous ornamentation and intense colours. Don&#8217;t forget your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-el-chorro-promenade\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"El-Chorro-Promenade\"><\/span>El Chorro Promenade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Paseo del Chorro is a beautiful park that leads to a natural spring and the church, located in the upper part. Endowed with an incomparable natural setting, a stroll through this area is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a local legend that tells that the spring in this part was discovered by Friar Juan de San Miguel, becoming the site where the city of San Miguel de Allende was founded. If you want to disconnect from the city, this is the ideal place to relax and get lost in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-san-felipe-neri-oratory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"San-Felipe-Neri-Oratory\"><\/span>San Felipe Neri Oratory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the rest of the religious monuments in San Miguel de Allende, the Oratorio San Felipe Neri is characterised by a more &#8220;indigenous&#8221; style, since a few years ago it was an Indian chapel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a fa\u00e7ade and architectural style much more extravagant than usual, this monument is strongly appreciated by locals and travellers alike. Also, it is the starting point for the Pilgrimage of Silence on the Friday of Holy Week. A must-see on your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-around-san-miguel-de-allende\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-around-San-Miguel-de-Allende\"><\/span>What to do around San Miguel de Allende?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sanctuary-of-atotonilco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sanctuary-of-Atotonilco\"><\/span>Sanctuary of Atotonilco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The small town of Atotonilco is only 14 kilometres from the city, and is considered one of the main tourist attractions in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is charming and worth a stroll through its streets, but what you can&#8217;t miss is the Sanctuary of Jesus Nazareno. Declared a World Heritage Site, this incredible baroque temple is highly visited by both the Christian faithful and art lovers alike. Moreover, you will be amazed, especially with the decorative treasures inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-botanical-garden\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Botanical-Garden\"><\/span>Botanical Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located just 10 minutes from the historic centre of the city is the Jardin Botanico, an incredible conservation of flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, as if that were not enough, besides being a natural environment ideal for walking or other outdoor activities, it is also part of the historical heritage of the city and is a recreational space. Along its route you can visit different emblematic points such as the Ruinas del Bat\u00e1n or the Presa de las Colinas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-the-mirador\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From-the-Mirador\"><\/span>From the Mirador<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A short distance from the famous Paseo del Chorro is the viewpoint of San Miguel, one of the most impressive corners of the whole city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The walk to get there is really pleasant, but the most worthwhile part of the visit is when you get to the top. Once there, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy beautiful views of the whole city while contemplating some of the most important places in the city from the top, such as the parish church or the Temple of San Francisco. Don&#8217;t forget your camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-with-children-in-san-miguel-de-allende\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-with-children-in-San-Miguel-de-Allende\"><\/span>What to do with children in San Miguel de Allende?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benito-juarez-park\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benito-Juarez-Park\"><\/span>Benito Juarez Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We all love parks, especially the little ones. That&#8217;s why you can&#8217;t skip a visit to Benito Juarez Park, one of the biggest parks in San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly, the space occupied by the park was dedicated to the orchard; years later it was transformed for the leisure and enjoyment of the locals. Also known as the Jardin Franc\u00e9s due to its resemblance to French parks, this place offers a stroll in an idyllic setting. In addition, we recommend you to visit during the weekend to see the small local market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snack-in-st-augustin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snack-in-St-Augustin\"><\/span>Snack in St. Augustin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long day of sightseeing, the best thing to do is to sit down and recharge your batteries. Although you can find plenty of places to have a snack in the city, we definitely recommend you to go to Caf\u00e9 San Agustin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located near the Plaza Central, this caf\u00e9 is frequented by locals and tourists alike for its speciality: churros with chocolate. Moreover, it&#8217;s the ideal place to recharge your batteries in the afternoon when you&#8217;re travelling with the little ones &#8211; try to arrive early to avoid the queues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parade-of-the-madmen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parade-of-the-Madmen\"><\/span>Parade of the Madmen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to enjoy a unique event, we recommend you to visit San Miguel de Allende in summer, when the famous Desfile de los Locos (Parade of the Crazies) takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This unique event starts at the San Antonio Church and ends at the Jardin Central.
