Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Judith Mancilla and Alexander Nork
SMA is an extremely welcoming town, and despite being small, it is filled with things to do. From the second you walk through downtown, you'll see the iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel towering above the lower, Spanish-style buildings. Walk around the square, people-watch, or duck into the nearby artisan market to pick up handmade goodies. It's a cultural hub, with plenty of art exhibition spaces and live music performances around town in the evenings. There are many delicious restaurants and rooftops as well as boutique stores offering craft goods. Below we have listed a few personal and popular favorites, but we strongly encourage you to explore on your own. Don't be afraid to duck into a restaurant or bar as you're walking around. Their storefronts tend to be unassuming, but they alway end up surprising you.
