Leon is a beautiful historic city not far from San Miguel de Allende. It is lively, has a great arts scene and gorgeous architecture.
Next stop was a gorgeous Hacienda for an Al fresco lunch and a Mexican cleansing ceremony
Yet another beautiful Hacienda but this is where we are staying!
This is my huge room at the Hacienda.
Dinner tonight was in a really cool large room. This Hacienda is owned by the former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox.
A highlight of my visit to Hacienda San Cristobal was this show with these talented horses!

Time for some wine tasting on the way to San Miguel 🍷
Guanajuato is one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico, with gorgeous colorful streets and colonial architecture everywhere you look. It is not just a city of cobblestone alleyways but a city with underground streets!
Excited to spend the day at the University of Guanajuato, founded in 1732. After a brisk run up the stairs, I was energized for the work day. The best part about it is the view over the city, just beautiful!!
A beautiful boutique hotel in Guanajuato and an amazing party at Mina de Guadalupe. I must come back to Guanajuato and spend more time in this gorgeous city! Tonight is the big event and it was so much fun.
San Miguel de Allende may just be the most charming town in Mexico. I have always wanted to visit and I’m so excited to finally be here! Located in the central highlands of Mexico, in the small state of Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende is iconic and recognized worldwide for its Baroque architecture, vibrant atmosphere, colorful streets, and friendly locals.
San Miguel de Allende is a colorful, colonial style city with markets, artisans and the iconic pink Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel towering above Spanish style buildings sprawled out around the square. Built in the late 17th century, this spectacular 17th-century gothic structure is one of the most photo. It’s a dreamy and colorful city that I love!
Live Aqua Urban Resort San Miguel De Allende captures the historical richness and cultural charm of one of most beautiful cities in Mexico and the rooms are so gorgeous and comfortable!
One the most authentic San Miguel experiences, a callejoneada. It is a wedding party parade through the cobblestoned streets, with tequila in hand, huge smiles and voices singing. It starts with giant mojigangas (10 feet tall papier-mâché puppets) that dance wildly as the mariachi music starts. An adorable burro is decorated with colorful paper flowers and pulls a tequila cart – the spirit is contagious!
Dia de Los Muertes fiesta at Instituto Allende. What a great place for an event, besides being beautiful, when you walk in from the courtyard you have a direct view of Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, the iconic San Miguel view!
Our next stop is a stately restored hacienda from the 16th century. Beautiful colonial architecture and acres of beautiful gardens plus they have their own vineyard on property!
We had a beautiful dinner in the vineyard tonight! It was a little chilly but the food and wine were delicious.
Breakfast in the courtyard of the Hacienda .
Querétaro is a lovely historic city and UNESCO World Heritage site in the central highlands of Mexico. It is sophisticated and genuinely Mexican with one of the highest qualities of life in Mexico and considered one of the safest cities in the country.

We came back to the hotel to such a nice Carnival themed farewell dinner!
