Mexico’s Magical Hideaway
The Central Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende—long a haven for foreign artists attracted to its baroque and neoclassical architecture and to weather locals describe as "perpetual spring"—is becoming the destination of choice for the chic Mexico City set.

Worthwhile attractions outside the city limits include Cañada de
la Virgen (above), a pre-Columbian archaeological site, and
Atotonilco—Mexico's Sistine Chapel. Less strenuous is the Hotel
Matilda's Spa en Vivo, a rustic hilltop location with natural hot
springs and stunning panoramic views. Back in town, even the grandest
homes are hidden, secret-garden-style, behind high walls that abut
cobblestone streets; for a glimpse behind closed doors, attend the house
tours that convene Sunday mornings at the town library.
