San Miguel de Allende – San Francisco of México

San Miguel de Allende is a city and municipality located in the far eastern part of the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. It is 274 km (170 mi) from Mexico City and 347 Km (217 mi.) from another famous tourist city "Guadalajara"

Historically, the town is important as being the birthplace of Ignacio Allende, whose surname was added to the town's name in 1826, as well as the first municipality declared independent of Spanish rule by the nascent insurgent army during the Mexican War of Independence. With its narrow cobblestone streets, leafy courtyards, fine architectural details and sumptuous interiors, San Miguel de Allende is arguably the prettiest town in Mexico.
