With its boho vibe and colourful baroque architecture, Mexico’s San
Miguel Allende is a tropical hotspot for artists, writers and expats.
stay
It
was a last minute booking, but thank goodness we found a room at Casa
Luna Quebrada. Cooking classes, communal breakfasts, a lush open
courtyard and hippie-chic bedrooms, make this colonial villa the perfect
place to stay. www.casaluna.com
shop
Ceramics, antiques and folk art are sold in
abundance in this charming town. Artists’ studios and galleries are
mostly open to the public and the many flea markets sell anything from
fresh food and flowers to woven rugs and traditional Talavera pottery.
eat
Street tacos are tasty, but if its haute Mexican
youre after, look no further than La Capilla. The setting (a renovated
chapel) and view (Gothic-style church) are breathtaking. 10 Cuna de
Allende, 52 415 152 0698.
do
Spend a day splashing in the hot springs at La
Gruta, a private park on the road to Dolores Hidalgo (daily 8 a.m.5
p.m.; US$5). If you get peckish, the lawns are covered in banana trees.
