San Miguel de Allende, Just What is All the Hoopla About?
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 15 May 2010
I just don’t get it. For years I’ve been hearing about San Miguel de Allende. People rave about it being THE place to go in Mexico, pointing to its huge American expat community, its strong ties to arts and culture, its lovely architecture, etc., etc. But for some reason, I just could not make up [...]

Dolores Hidalgo and Atotonilco, Tiny Mexican Towns with Big Histories
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 13 May 2010
The City of Guanajuato may be the birthplace of Mexico’s Independence, but the sign stretched across the road proclaimed the town of Dolores Hidalgo to be the cradle of its independence. My visit to this tiny village was serendipitous. Wondering whether I really wanted to keep San Miguel de Allende on my travel itinerary, I’d [...]

MDF v SMA
Blog: The Mexile - 18 March 2010
I’ve always, secretly, wanted to be something of an agony uncle. My utter lack of sympathy and compassion, added to my sometimes sick sense of humour, have, however, blocked my path into that area of journalism. But I do get occasional emails, Facebook messages, and Twits (twitters, tweets, twats? take your pick…) from concerned people [...]

Arriving in San Miguel de Allende
Blog: Abrhil's Travel Blog - 9 July 2009
The Latin America Adventure is on! The flight was non-eventful and arrived just in time which is always a good sign. On the 1.5hr drive from Leon to San Miguel I met a wonderful pair of ladies from Canada, Sandra and Audrina. We ended up having a very interesting conversation about healthcare and the future of America. Turns out Canadians are worried about America too! After a lengthy discussion we turned our attention to the fact that we were in San Miguel one of the most beautiful and picturesque towns in all of Mexico.

Impressions of Mexico
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 11 June 2009
When I wrote about my ten (pre-trip) favourite countries at the end of last year, Mexico was the winner. After spending six weeks there, I’m even more in love with the country than I was before.

San Miguel de Allende
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 14 April 2009
Queretaro was pretty stunning – full of pink-stoned baroque churches; a centre full of colonila buildings in shades of yellow, orange, red and pink; and graceful tree-lined squares that were full of families strolling and listening to music by night – so I wasn’t sure how San Miguel de Allende, the second of four cities [...]
