Casa Alegria

Casa Alegria 5 Self contained apartments: 3 x 2 bedroom 2 x 2 bedroom There really is something for everyone in this bustling city.

Founded as a mission in the 16th century by the Fray Juan de San Miguel, the city went on to take his name in his memory. Later in the city's history this evolved to become San Miguel de Allende in honour of Ignacio Allende, a local hero who contributed to the struggle for independence from Spain. During the 16th and 17th centuries, San Miguel was an important cross road for silver delivery from t

he mines in Guanajuato, Real de Catorce and Zacatecs. The city continued to grow with this important traffic and evolved into an architecturally-visual phenomenon which provided the motivation for San Miguel's World Heritage Site designation in 2008. After World War II, San Miguel became a center for the arts, especially painting and photography, and remains so today. Below are just a small selection of some of the attractions and must-see local beauty spots. Central Gardin (referred to as El Jardin) and the Parroquia
The Parroquia is the most famous church in San Miguel, you'll have seen it in all the city's famous photos as it emerges from the heart of the city. Casa de los Condes de la Canal
Built by a Spanish Viceroy in # # #, this is one of the most magnificent "homes" in the Centro (center of town). Imposing and grand, this famous building is now home to a museum and a bank and it arguably has one of the most majestic and photographed set of doors in the whole of the city. Barrio del Chorro
This area is where the original settlement of San Miguel began and offers a beautiful garden to walk from the street of Barranca, which turns into Chorro, down to the lavanderia - a public place where the indigenous people still wash their clothes. On the weekends, the plaza here is used by local artists to display their works. There a a number of organised walks around the Colonial Centro each week which include entry to Colonial homes if rare quality.

San Miguel de Allende is in central Mexico -- prepare for extremes! The weather can be very hot during the day, but much, much cooler at night. 40°F/25°C swings are not uncommon, with drops to freezing on occasion in Dec/Jan. Bring a light jacket to put on over your short sleeves.

San Miguel is a year-round destination with over 320 days of sunshine. It is generally dry and dusty in springtime, the hottest month being May when daytime temperatures can rise to 90°F/35°C. Rainy season: June - October. However, rain usually comes in short bursts and it's rare for there to be days of consistent cloud. Plus it's greener in summer.

The parish church of San Miguel is unique in Mexico and the emblem of the town. It has a Neo-gothic facade with two tall towers that can be seen from most parts of town. It is one of the most photographed churches in Mexico. The church was built in the 17th century with a traditional Mexican facade. The current Gothic facade was constructed in 1880 by Zeferino Gutierrez, who was an indigenous bricklayer and self-taught architect.

At the entrance of the city are statues of Ignacio Allende, Juan Aldama, Miguel Hidalgo and Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, with one of the Archangel Michael in the center.[16] While the outlying areas of the town and municipality have changed over time, the historic center remains much as it was 250 years ago. The layout of the center of the city is mostly a straight grid, which was favored by the Spanish during colonial times. However, due to the terrain, many roads are not straight. There are no parking meters, no traffic signals and no fast food restaurants.[4] These roads are lined with colonial era homes and churches. With a few exceptions, the architecture is domestic rather than monumental, with well-tended courtyards and rich architectural details.[17] The houses have solid walls against the sidewalks, painted in various colors, many with bougainvillea vines falling down the outside and the occasional iron-grated window. Many of the larger structures have large front doors which used to be used by horses and carriages
