San Miguel de Allende is one of the most beautiful colonial towns in the world! I lived there as a child, and many years as an adult. 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 a perfect place for great art, food, local color, and fantastic shopping!<BR>
Weather is perfect in October/November with warm sunny days and cool nights.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
We had milongas in the historical buildings of San Miguel, and lots of surprise events including dinners, tequila tastings and Aztec Aphrodisiac cooking class.<BR>

Beyond Tango trips are very personalized and with lots of attention to and from teachers and staff. We choose integrity and care for the group over large numbers of dancers.<BR>
