A curated monthly dose of lifestyle, culture, and rhythm from San Miguel de Allende.
A new generation of Mexican hosts is looking back to move forward. At Casa Hoyos, that means seven levels of seed and stone, and a candle lit in an old tunnel.
Fourteen years ago, a handful of friends got the whole world watching San Miguel on November 2. Then the party got too big.
Paper crowns, couture and a Catrina face in one visit. For ten years, San Miguel has gotten dressed for its dead at LINA.
Marigolds from the street to the altar, families in the panteones, a city setting a place for the dead. This is how San Miguel does it.
Always May 10, never moved. The newspaper campaign, the Virgin and the payday behind Mexico’s Mother’s Day.
Quartz, silver and a story people only tell late at night. Why San Miguel pulls people in and doesn’t let go.
A decree, a hero’s name and two hundred years of becoming. Why San Miguel is called de Allende.
Posadas, piñatas and a high-desert midnight. How San Miguel does Christmas and New Year’s.
Faces of the dead, sent in by the living. TomĂĄs BĂŒrkey turns the altar into a collective act of memory.
Every October the monarchs return, and Mexico knows exactly who they are.
