San Miguel de Allende

San Miguel de Allende sits on the eastern edge of the Bajío in Mexico’s Guanajuato state, where the central highlands give its streets a gently undulating setting. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognised together with the Sanctuary of Atotonilco, and its focal point is the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, known for its elaborate neo-Gothic façade. The town was renamed in honour of Ignacio Allende, a native son and a leading figure in Mexico’s independence movement. Colonial-era houses, plazas and a long-established arts scene make it a cultural centre beyond its state borders.
