Andrew Keenan-Bolger Instagram – Today, we took ourselves on a self-guided walking tour of San Miguel, starting with a heaping plate of chilaquiles at the eclectic (and gay-owned!) Café Rama (@caferama.sma). Our adventure continued with a stroll through the charming Parque Benito Juárez where they were celebrating the Feria de la Candelaria, a festival where gardeners and flower vendors sell thousands of different kinds of plants and flowers`. As PlantGays™, it was almost torture not being able to take home at least one of these beauties. Next, we climbed up to El Mirador, a viewpoint at the top of the hill overlooking the city with breathtaking views of San Miguel’s colorful rooftops. Next, we explored Fabrica La Aurora (@fabricalaaurora), an old textile factory that’s been transformed into a massive art gallery, showcasing tons of local art and craftsmanship. After all that, we desperately needed an espresso break at Hotel Casa de los Soles (@casadelossoles ), a hotel and café that boasts a seriously impressive collection of talaveras.
We purposefully scheduled our trip to coincide with Valentine’s Day as well as our ten-year “meet-a-versary,” but when booking this trip, I don’t think either of us realized just how romantic the city of San Miguel is — it’s just bursting with love! Every couple seems to be holding hands, and we fully saw multiple marriage proposals in front of the Parroquia (a sight that usually makes me cringe). We spent V-Day Eve indulging at Aperi (@aperimx), the pinnacle of fine dining in San Miguel, where we splurged in a Michelin-starred tasting menu and wine pairing in a romantic courtyard setting. | Posted on 22/Feb/2024 02:05:09
