TO VIEW MORE ON SAN MIGUEL See: www.portalsanmiguel.com
San Miguel de Allende is one of the most beautiful colonial towns in the
world! The architecture, markets, restaurants, hotels, and landscapes have
been photographed and documented in every major travel magazine; many movies
have been filmed there for the romantic backdrops. It is a popular
destination for artists, writers, and photographers. Beyond Tango has  been
doing tango events there for six years. San Miguel de Allende is an amazing
place for great art, food, local color, and fantastic shopping!
Weather is perfect in October/November with warm sunny days and cool nights.

Last year's event was extraordinary; full of surprises!  There was mystery
as well because of Day of the Dead. "Katrinas" (the skeleton fancy ladies)
roam the streets, altars abound in the plazas, on corners, everywhere. The
cemetery becomes a purple and gold mass of flowers, glittering with plastic
toys, studded with sugar replicas of food and skulls.
We had milongas in the historical buildings of San Miguel, and lots of
surprise events including dinners, tequila tastings and Aztec Aphrodisiac
cooking class.
E-mail me for references from dancers who attended last year at:
