San Miguel de Allende (SMA)
April 2024
SMA was the first town Barbara & I looked at when we were thinking of moving to Mexico in 1997. Recently we visited the same friends who introduced us to that town. Full of color, natural and man made, SMA is still very attractive and hasn’t changed much – but there were definitely more people and heavier traffic. Below are a few scenes that caught my eye.
