Hindustan Times has just published a piece with great art about our city, San Miguel de Allende. Here are the opening paragraphs:
San Miguel de Allende, a small and outrageously charming town, perches on hilly contours in the heart of Mexico, away from beaches and the historic Aztec and Maya sites.

Its narrow, cobbled streets, gracious casas and green squares have defied the passage of time and its World Heritage Site status will ensure the town remains unchanged.
The town was named after its founder, San Miguel, a Franciscan monk in 1542, as well as Ignacio Allende, a freedom fighter who first declared his hometown free from Spanish Rule in 1811.
