Dear Traveller,
You may be considering coming to San Miguel de Allende for the first time or perhaps you have been here several times and would like to return. We in San Miguel de Allende and at San Miguel Concierge would like to welcome you to our service. Our objective is to give you an unbiased service that you can consult. One that feels as personal as having family here. Our aim is to preserve and keep alive the ancient customs and the arts as well as to host representatives from other countries and visitors to San Miguel. We want you, the traveller, to get to see and feel some of the real San Miguel that can be hidden. Your time may be very short here and you need to spend that time living your experience here, not just looking for it and wishing you had found those delightful places and people earlier.

That said, there are so many special moments that you cannot program here. Like a Friday at dusk we were driving down a main street and wondering where the beautiful opera music of Puccini was coming from…finally realizing that it was coming from a pick-up truck driving in traffic in front of me. In the back of the truck sat a man holding a baby in his arms and supporting the statue of a virgin covered in flowers…I breathed deeply and remembered how lucky we are to live in a little pueblo where so much is kept alive…
We look forward to your visit.

San Miguel Concierge home

We want to warn you as a traveler that you might fall in love with San Miguel Allende! I spent my first summer here with my family in 1972 and my heart never left.

Malcom Lowry wrote, “He upon whose heart the dust of Mexico has lain, will find no peace in any other land.”

I returned many years later to paint and enjoy living in Mexico and have spent over 20 years fulfilling my dream. My greatest desire is to show you the real Mexico and open those beautiful doors so that you might know this area. I know that we can offer you our experience of living in Mexico to know the best there is to offer so that you might learn to love this magical, historical, timeless city. Throughout the years I have lived in San Miguel de Allende Mx. I have entertained and shown this city to many of my family, friends and other visitors.


I
understand and believe in San Miguel and know that it has much to offer the people that visit. I have seen a great change in San Miguel through my 23 years of living here. Our small village has changed and grown to be rated as one of the most desirable cities to live in and visit in the Americas.

The restaurants are superb and the arts are fabulous and accessible to all. So join us in our adventure where the sun is always shining and the bells continually ring. Come enjoy the excitement of the experience of visiting this special place.
