San Miguel is the city of writers, poets, artists and dreamers, as well as the refined traveler. The many luxury hotels in San Miguel, the dining, the shopping, the art galleries and the tours of the surrounding hillsides could keep anyone busy for months. There are golf courses, stunning scenery for hikes, hot springs, horse back riding, museums, concerts, and for the festive, there is an annual flurry of fiestas and celebrations like the Expresión en Corto International Film Festival – the most prestigious in all of Latin America.

San Miguel has a pleasant year-round spring-like climate. The average day is brisk in the morning, warm and sunny afternoons, and cool nights. At 6400 feet, both the humidity and the temperature is kept down and the air is clean and refreshing. Many tourists from North America come to San Miguel in the winter, where they can enjoy nice days in the 70s, instead of the snow and the cold. But the winter nights still afford time in front of the fireplaces in the many bars, cafes, and bistros in town, and most find a sweater still necessary when the sun goes down.
