San Miguel de Allende is one of the world’s most celebrated artists’ communities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and #4 on Travel + Leisure magazine’s list of “Top Central and South American Cities,” just after Buenos Aires, Oaxaca, and Cuzco.
San Miguel is located at 6,200 feet in the mountainous central highlands, 170 miles northeast of Mexico City and 57 miles west of the state capital city of Guanajuato.
Traveling to San Miguel is straight-forward and safe. There are daily direct flights from Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston to the international airport in León (the nearest airport to San Miguel). You will be picked up at the airport by a private shuttle company and driven 90 minutes to our lovely campus in San Miguel.
This is our ninth year offering workshops in this culturally rich city.
A large community of American and international ex-patriots make up an estimated 10% of the population of 80,000 in San Miguel. This promotes the use of English at most restaurants and hotels.
