This open space, also known as the Jardín Principal, is a key meeting point for locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by historic buildings, such as the iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, the Jardín is an ideal place to stroll, enjoy the architecture and experience the cultural life of the city.
The Jardín is also famous for its events and festivities, including live music, folkloric dances and local celebrations. The benches in the Jardín offer a perfect place to relax and observe the hustle and bustle of daily life in San Miguel de Allende, while the surrounding area is full of cafes, restaurants and boutique stores.

THE JARDIN AFTER DARK
There is always activity in the Jardin at night, especially so on the weekends. Groups of mariachis gather there and wait to be hired for a special serenade in a restaurant or bar somewhere. While they wait in the Jardin, they play. People dance. Sitting in the Jardin in the evenings is a common thing to do for some local families, much like watching TV after dinner for other people. Watching the way locals interact gives you an idea of the richness of this culture. Sometimes you see amazing things, like a child twirling flaming batons. Or special concerts or speeches or dances. All of it takes place in the light of La Parroquia and it is very special indeed.
