San Miguel de Allende Design with Architectural Digest

Voted “The Best Small City in the World” for the fifth time this year, the colonial town of San Miguel de Allende provides the perfect contrast to Mexico City’s action, with its charming UNESCO-protected heritage architecture, contemporary art and design, fantastic food (and tequila!) and artisan studios. With its colorful houses and cobblestoned streets, San Miguel presents the cultural—and literal—heart of Mexico, beloved by natives and expats in equal measure. Sample the best of this beautiful city (that travelers can’t get enough of) with behind-the-scenes access and events at homes featured in the pages of Architectural Digest, in the company of AD‘s Alison Levasseur and Indagare Founder Melissa Biggs Bradley.
