San Miguel tourism in recovery
Jesús Ibarra writes on San Miguel de Allende’s most important industry: Tourism. The severe decline in the number of visitors coming to the city has affected all the sectors of the community. Over the 2009 Christmas season and the long weekend of February 1 hotel occupancy rebounded somewhat. The hotel owners’ association, the Tourism Council of San Miguel and the local government are working together on strategies to promote the city nationally and internationally and attract tourism.

Public poll says yes to the running of the bulls
Sunday, February 7, less than 2 percent of the San Miguel de Allende population turned out to vote at the poll “Do you agree with conducting public running of the bulls to be held outside of the historical center and in a professional manner?”
Of the 2,690 votes, 68 percent (approximately 1800) voted in favor.
Atención polled the public and this is but one of the comments: Fátima 49, manager, I don’t want the Sanmiguelada to return because it damages the town. I did not vote however because I don’t think voting is effective. The government always ends up doing what they want.
Colonias de San Miguel: Colonia San Antonio
Alejandro Devesa continues the series on San Miguel neighborhoods.
Colonia San Antonio, one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Miguel, is located a few blocks south-west from downtown. It holds a special place in San Miguel history as the home of the infamous Locos Parade (the masked dancers who invade city streets with dancing, music and sweets galore every June). Until two years ago, when Mega was built, San Antonio had its own Sunday tianguis.
