Our Location is
considered by many to be the most desirable place to live (the 'Guadiana' neighborhood) in San Miguel because of it's safety, level walking surfaces and the proximity to many shops, restaurants and the 'Instituto Allende' for art and language classes. We are on the edge of the historic area.

THE HOUSE is close to the 'Instituto Allende', St. Paul's Church, markets, U.U. services, and the 'Centro'. One block from the 'restaurant row' of the Ancha de San Antonio.
The open market in Colonia San Antonio on Sundays is a short walk away. The historic center is about a 15 minutes walk (or by a 5 peso bus).
Torah studies are further along. Taxis and buses are cheap and plentiful.
