San Miguel Allende

From Mexico City we drove down to San
Miguel Allende. It was an enjoyable 2.5-hour
drive. The Rosewood hotel is a lovely hotel.
The view from the terrace at sunset was a sight
to behold. San Miguel is like an old European
town in Mexico. The brightly coloured walls of
the houses and the various styles of architec-
ture are an attractive sight to behold. The road
undulations remind one of Porto (in Portugal)
& San Francisco. A guided walking tour of the
city is essential to appreciate the charm of this
city.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to… a nearly
400-year-old house, now renamed Casa
Dragone, after it was bought by a Tequila
company Dragone. A visit to Fabrica La Auro-
ra is a must. It is an old textile mill converted
into a contemporary art and design shopping
space. One would get to see and purchase some
interesting art and artifacts mostly by Mexi-
can artisans, as well as many clothing labels
by Mexican designers. The Sistine Chapel was
also fascinating.

We had dinner in the courtyard of Casa Nene
hotel. It is a remarkable place and the food is
delightful…

Charming streets invite one to stroll
