My only experiences with #Mexico before this trip have been an excursion to Cancun and a quick cruise stop in Cozumel.
••
And while walking around those places, I remember part of me feeling cheated. Because between the souvenir shops and American-owned resorts, I knew I wasn’t getting anything close to a real dose of Mexican culture.
••
I can’t explain the extent to which San Miguel de Allende has been a breath of fresh air. The colorful, historic city center criss-crossed by cobblestone streets; red, and yellow, and orange walls being baked in the afternoon sun. In the outskirts, where I’m staying, visiting neighborhood shop after neighborhood shop where I’m forced to work on my Spanish because no one speaks English. Homemade food and regional dishes, coral-tinted, imposing churches towering over a skyline of houses in bright sun shades, surrounded by green hills.
••
This feels like what I’ve been looking for. #visitmexico #sanmigueldeallende #losethemap
