For those who haven't heard about San Miguel, it's a historically preserved town in the mountains of central Mexico. It has cobblestone streets, lovely old buildings and gorgeous flowers everywhere. There is a large artist colony so there are many galleries, music and film festivals and live theater. There are many terrific restaurants, the Mexicans are wonderful people, you don't need a car, the weather is almost always perfect, hot springs are just outside of town, AND it's not very expensive to be in Mexico. If you check out portalsanmiguel.com you can learn more about what this town is like.

Getting there is simple. You fly to Leon/Guanajuato (airport code: BJX) and take a shuttlevan to your front door in San Miguel. All this can be arranged online.
