Unlike many Americans, I haven’t been to Mexico much — only to the border town ot Nogales, an easy drive from Tucson where we used to visit my dad. But I’m getting a little more interested in the place — especially in visiting the colonial town, San Miguel de Allende.
Here’s a helpful story about it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/in-central-mexico-a-retreat-thats-perfect-for-families/2019/06/13/130d39b6-86fb-11e9-a870-b9c411dc4312_story.html
Far from the packed resort beaches of Cancun, Cabo’s nonstop party atmosphere and the hipsterdom of Tulum, San Miguel de Allende exists as its own singular slice of Mexican life. Located in the state of Guanajuato, 170 miles north of Mexico City, it boasts cobblestone streets and colonial architecture, giving visitors the impression they’ve stepped out of time. It’s helpful to know traveler’s Spanish when making deals at the market or figuring out your lunch order, but there’s a large community of retired Americans, so the locals are used to English speakers. Overall, San Miguel de Allende is easy to navigate, safe and rich with activities — an ideal family vacation destination.
