San Miguel and Atontinilco
We spent Sunday, our first full day in
San Miguel,exploring the city a bit, mostly the center of town, the
jardin. We went to church in the gothic style church on the square,
and then watched some dancing in the square, including danzon.
Monday we took a cab to Atontinilco, a
pilgrimage place and part of the world heritage site of San Miguel de
Allende and Atontinilco. Atontinilco is a few miles outside of San
Miguel de Allende. Richard recalls the church and murals as in poor
repair, but there has been a tremendous amount of work in the last
few years, and the murals are glowing.
We then went to the hot springs at “La
Gruta”, near Atontinilco. Since it was a weekday, the place was
quiet and pleasant. We ate there, and then entered the man made
tunnel and cave, where the water was quite warm. We took a bus back
to San Miguel, and then a taxi to our B&B.
We attended a danzon class downtown,
and then went for dinner at Ten Ten Pie.
Tuesday we had planned to go to
Guanajuato, but Eileen did not feel well, so we took the opportunity
to get some business done. We had dinner again in Posaditas rooftop
restaurant.
