San Miguel de Allende

Available for hire
San Miguel de Allende is a pueblo mágico in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. It is incredibly beautiful with stunning architecture and cobblestone streets. It is also a retirement destination for Americans, Canadians, and Europeans; about 20% of the total population here is foreign. Because of that, it tends to be on the more expensive side, and a high proportion of local establishments are also foreign-owned.
In this guide, I will provide you with (local) places to stay and eat within your budget, as well as places worth visiting.
Buen viaje!

La Antigua Guest House
@nicki
I stayed at La Antigua Guest House for 4 nights. Truthfully the interior design is stuck in the 1980's, but it's cozy nonetheless. There is a fantastic terrace from which you can watch the sunset and see the main church in town. There are 5 bedrooms. The wifi doesn't work great inside the bedrooms, but it's great in the shared spaces. Coincidentally I was the only guest staying there all 4 nights. There is a shared kitchen and living room, which I had all to myself.

“Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.”
-Ray
“Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.”
-Paul
“My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“
