San Miguel de Allende is in central Mexico, nearest to Leon, but you
may also fly into Mexico City. There is very comfortable first class bus
transportation from each of these cities to San Miguel. In both cities we
will arrange for you to be met with an agency to get you where you need to
go.
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 milongas 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.
REGISTRATION: $100 per person deposit, due IMMEDIATELY. The rate of $240
for the
entire week of classes and three milongas is good until August 20th. The cost
for a couple will be
$420 till Aug 1. Included is a welcome cocktail party, a “callejonada” where
we will
dance the streets downtown following troubadors in medieval costume, singing
Mexican ballads and folksongs, drinking tequila. This package will get you
into the Orchestra/show for a discounted price of about $12 USD.
Discounts are also available for a group of five that includes at least two
men. Your lodging needs to be paid SEPARATELY, and ETV can book it for you
for
$25 US.
NOT INCLUDED in the price are special workshops, trips, hot springs, group
dinners, ranch parties, orchestra/show and other activities to choose that
will each have their separate prices beginning at about $10.
