2-day tour guide to San Miguel, the city of art

San Miguel de Allende is a colorful fairy tale town. The cobblestone streets, carefully decorated door lintels and small balconies with flowers make people intoxicated in the leisure of the small town. The Church of San Miguel the Archangel is the symbol of San Miguel. Located in the Municipal Square in the center of the small town. The church is like a pink wedding cake with layers upon layers. There is a different beauty after lighting up during the day and at night. I like this city very much, even more than I originally hoped for. Najuato. There are pure colors here, quiet and leisurely streets, and the comfort of walking slowly. We walked around, ate and drank, and liked the simplicity here, which made us forget about the fatigue of the journey. There are boutiques and cafes on every street, perfect for spending time slowly. [Recommended attractions] There are many boutiques and cafes on every street 1. Plaza Principal, also called El Jardin, is a landmark with the neo-Gothic spire next to it. 2. Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel pink church and small garden next to it 3. Museo Histórico Casa de Allende, a historical museum next to the church 4. The gorgeous church Templo de la Conception; Escuela e Bellas Artes was formerly the Conception monastery and was converted into an academy of fine arts in 1938. 5. Church Oratorio de San Felipe Neri: The church was built in the 18th century and has several towers and a dome. At the east end of Insurgentes. The exterior is pale pink in Baroque style, with a statue of Nuestra Senora de la soledad at the door. There are 33 oil paintings inside the church, showing the life of San Felipe Neri, a Florentine in the 16th century. On the east side is the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe made by the famous colonial painter Miguel Cabrera. On the west side is the gorgeously decorated chapel Santa Casa de Loreto, built in In 1735, it was imitated as an Italian chapel, with the floor and walls covered with tiles from Puebla, Valencia and China. 6. Mirador and Parque Benito Juarez: The tower offers a panoramic view of the town and surrounding countryside. Go forward along Callejon del Chorro, go downhill from here, and turn left on the slope to El Chorro, which is the fountain built in San Miguel. . A small road, Paseo del Chorro, winds down the hillside to the tree-lined Parque Benito Juarez. 7. Toy Museum Museo La Esquina del Juguete: A private museum that surprised me. It collects all kinds of wooden, rattan, leather, and mechanical toys with Mexican characteristics. You can spend 2 hours strolling there. There is a small toy shop at the entrance on the first floor. The toys sold are very unique and the prices are not low. I recommend a few small shops that I think are good: 1. Casa R Concept Store The local designer brand collection store has clothes, bags and accessories, and I bought my favorite earrings with sweeping shoulders. 2.Meson Hidalgo A hotel, with a boutique selling clothing and handicrafts at the entrance, and a unique perfume shop inside. 3. Morena Corazon The local jewelry brand also has branches in the old town of Mocheng. Series such as hearts, wings, and red lips are all very popular. 4. Inside Cafe It’s a small shop with delicious food. You can go to the outdoor seats on the second or third floor to enjoy the scenery.
