Join us in celebrating our wedding in San Miguel!
Things To Do
Enjoy a cocktail at sunset at the rooftop bar of the Rosewood Hotel
The most breathtaking rooftop experience in San Miguel de Allende, Luna features unobstructed views of the city’s majestic skyline, as well as a menu of inventive cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired tapas.
Take a Cooking Class
There is no shortage of great cooking classes in San Miguel. We took a class with chef Kris Rudolph back in 2016 and it was an absolute blast and very informative. We still talk about how wonderful the food was - the best tres leches either of us have had to date!
Mercado de Artesanías
Mercado de Artesanias (The Artisan Market) is open daily from 9 am until 7 pm. Each stall is overloaded with hand-crafted items. Even the souvenirs at touristy stalls are hand-painted. A cascade of hats falls from one man’s stall and live birds in cages are the feature of another. Mercado de Artesanias stretches from a large undercover area, in which there is a mix of craft stalls and food stalls selling local honey, handmade sweets and medicinal herbs. Sellers hand out small pieces of grilled sweetcorn to passers-by to taste. These can be bought covered in lemon, salt and chili to taste. The market continues down some steps through a passageway with stalls on either side and out into the open, winding through the narrow streets until you come out at the main road on the other side. San Miguel is a city full of artists, painters and craftsmen, and this is reflected in this beautiful market.
Fabrica la Aurora
Highly recommended for art lovers! La Aurora was once one of Mexico's largest textile factories. On the north end of town, this once-abandoned textile factory is now a vibrant center for art galleries, boutiques, studios and exhibition spaces. Check out the art on display—whether it has a price tag on it or not—and then spend some time hanging out in the café or bookstore.
Cañada de la Virgen Archaeological Site
One of Mexico’s best-kept secrets, the Cañada de la Virgen archaeological zone opened to the public in February of 2011. Since then, Albert Coffee has taken over 30,000 people on his academic-level introduction to the pre-Hispanic history of Mexico through visits to the site which he had the privilege of helping excavate. The site itself is a true testament to the mathematical, astronomical and architectural genius acquired over thousands of years by its builders and their ancestors.
La Gruta Hot Springs and Spa
With a café as part of the scene, and a series of pools of varying temperatures (the warmest within an exotic secret grotto), it’s a cool and hot place to spend a morning or an afternoon.
Tequila Tasting at Casa Dragones
This tequila is for slow sipping, not for doing shots. Visitors to the Casa Dragones, inside the former stables for the Dragones calvary battalion in the 17th century in San Miguel, can embark on a private tequila tasting and tour. Make reservations in advance.
Sanuario de Atotonilco
Drive just 15-minutes outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and you come to a remarkable Jesuit sanctuary. It’s the Sanctuary of Atotonilco, dubbed the “Sistine Chapel of Mexico.” The site is so extraordinary that visiting it is one of the best things to do in Mexico, especially if you love history, architecture and culture.
Coyote Canyon Adventures
Coyote Canyon Adventures offers the most exciting adventure tours in San Miguel de Allende: the best way to discover the region's natural & cultural environment. We did their ATV Tour with Sophie a few years back and had a blast! They also offer Horseback Riding Adventures, Zip Line, Hot Air Balloon Flights, Bird Watching Tours, Pyramid tours of Aztec Ruins. The best part is that they are located right in the heart of SMA - making the start of any adventure incredibly convenient!
Cuna de Tierra
For wine lovers looking for a little adventure only 25 minutes outside of San Miguel, take a tour of La Cuna de Tierra Vineyard, and don’t skip their lovely restaurant. Guanajuato is home to Mexico’s fastest growing area of viticulture.
