Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato

December 28, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

High in the cool hills, this colonial gem of cobblestone streets and picturesque churches inspires artists with its color, character and light. Baroque, neoclassical and neogothic mix in the city's buildings, notably at the pink stone 18th-century church on the Plaza Principal. Founded in 1542, the city is a mix of Hispanic and Mesoamerican influences.

Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel

Built in 1683, this pastel pink church is the city's most recognizable landmark.

Reviewed By Retired_teacher_56 - Dwight, Canada

The centerpiece and focal point and one of the best things to do in San Miguel Allende is the unmissable church. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel or the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is as impressive as it is massive. This is arguably the most photogenic spot in the city inside and out. Enjoy the view from the well-manicured garden in the plaza directly in front of the church that looks almost like an ornate pinkish orange cake! On Sundays, the plaza out front is filled with families and their children enjoying the park. The Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar in the Rosewood Hotel is a great place to have a cocktail enjoying both the sunset and this amazing church

My son, daughter, and her boyfriend, ages 20, 23 and 25 had a wonderful horse ride, accompanied by Rancho Xotolar cowboys. They were picked up at their hotel, right on time, visited the ranch, made fresh cheese, rode for about 3 hrs, through beautiful trails and streams. They returned to the ranch for a healthy bountiful meal, and were driven back to the hotel. Jeans, and tennis or booties fine. And maybe a cap or hat! A wonderful Saturday!

We did a lot of research before deciding which cooking class to try in SMA. We had heard rave reviews about Chef Ruben from a friend, so that, coupled with the best price in town, made the decision easy. Chef Ruben was fun to work with and informative. The enchiladas we made together were our favorite meal in SMA (and we’ve had a lot). The open cooking space and use of masks made us feel very safe during Covid times. Please don’t miss out on this experience. Thanks Chef Ruben!

The mask curator has been collecting masks for 30 years and has hundreds installed in the museum. He is very knowledgeable about the masks and Mexican history. You must call for an appointment. There is also a nice native art shop included in this beautiful bed-and-breakfast attached to the museum.

My mom and I so enjoyed Kris's Indigenous Mexican cooking class and market tour! Kris is so knowledgable -- the tour included a lot of SMA history as well as yummy samples from the market! After our market tour, we headed back to the stunning cooking school (also a B&B!) and made a variety of delicious dishes for lunch. We had a great time cooking with our group -- a fun mix of new pals ranging from a young couple from Brooklyn to retirees from Chicago. Thank you Kris for a special day, a memory my mom and I won't ever forget!

Reviewed By kathyatriverdell - Frankford, Canada

Beth was our hostess and she made this a pleasurable experience for all of us. We are, none of us, experienced riders, but it made no difference. She and two cowboys accompanied the three of us up to the edge of the canyon and then back by a different trail for variety's sake. We had a great ride, followed by a home-cooked, delicious lunch, and then she returned us to our house., from which she had picked us up in the first place. I absolutely loved it. Thanks, Beth.

I’ve never seen anything like this place in my life. The whole house, and surrounding structures are completely covered in mosaics and other bizarre creations. Definitely worth the trip.
