This small, quiet, charming town with its mild weather and slow pace is sure to capture your heart. From your first stroll down the cobble stone streets of San Miguel Allende, you will discover why people from all over the world come, return and, in many cases, decide to stay. San Miguel de Allende is almost never hot, and enjoys a mild climate year round with cool evenings. San Miguel is also a very green city, with trees, flowers, botanical gardens, and is surrounded by hills.
