TANGO FIESTA
OCTOBER 1 THRU 5 2003
SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO (with optional added time Sept. 27 till Oct.
1)
San Miguel is the town in Mexico famous for having more fiestas than any
other in the country. Perhaps because it is the “birthplace” of Mexico’s
Independence…quien sabe?
EL INDIO and MARIANA will be our TEACHERS! There will also be another two
more teachers, to be decided by June, 2003, but they will probably be FABIAN
SALAS and CAROLINA DEL RIVERO.
We will be returning to San Miguel direct from our FRANCE trip, and wil be
partying with the following fiestas: the alborada a fiesta on Sept. 28,
beginning at 4:00AM with skyfulls of blazing fireworks, castillos, (towers of
fireworks)and very noisy, and then the parade celebrating Saints:
Michael, and Rafael on Sept. 29. All these fiestas commence Sept. 15th, with
the celebration of Mexican Independence Day. Too many fiestas, too little
time...
San Miguel de Allende is in central Mexico, nearest to Leon, but you
may also fly into Mexico City. There is first class bus transportation from
each of these cities to San Miguel.
San Miguel is a mountain artist’s colony, at 5,500+ feet, with turquoise
skies, and in October, fields of wildflowers and excellent weather. There is
lots to see and do: several hot springs , horseback riding, hiking, and
gorgeous restaurants. The shopping opportunities abound, and there are many
art galleries and night spots with great music.
The town itself is a protected national monument, with narrow cobblestone
streets, buildings painted with siena, scarlet, purple, and tropical flowers
cascading over the high walls. The beautiful architecture includes churches,
homes, and municipal buildings. We are planning one of the milonga s in
the nearby ghost town of Pozos at a lovely hotel/restaurant. This spot is
extraordinary for photos. The ruins in and outside of town are graceful
remains of the haciendas of wealthy mining families who once lived there
