Pictures of San Miguel Allende & Guanajuato, Mexico

I visited San Miguel Allende and Guanajuato in Mexico. This is a repeat visit; I love these places. They are Spanish colonial towns in the central part of Mexico - very colorful and vibrant. San Miguel is more touristy; Guanajuato is a university town. The Cervantes Festival was in full swing in Guanajuato and some of these festivities spilled over to San Miguel.

I took the following pictures in San Miguel Allende. The pictures after the door were taken in Guanajuato.
