Our city is characterized by not being on the economic side of things, so we want to beat the system and be able to live an authentic San Miguel experience without having to significantly reduce our bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to forget about award-winning restaurants and instead opt to support local food stalls like the delicious tacos de canasta that are a local favorite. Street<\/a> Ancha de San Antonio, across from Mercado Sano, in a blue house whose fenced patio awaits all passersby to feed them delicious food in exchange for just a few pesos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to feel the authentic San Miguel<\/a>, There's nothing like strolling through the heart of our city, where the imposing Parish Church stands, its Neo-Gothic architecture and pinkish stones leaving many speechless with their beauty. Sometimes you can go inside, either to attend the daily masses or to admire the altars or the exquisite paintings by Pedro L\u00f3pez, "The Betrothal of Saint Michael" and "Jesus Assisted by Angels," free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also free to enter is the El Nigromante Cultural Center, renowned for David Alfaro Siqueiros's unfinished mural and its vast array of artistic offerings. As an arts institute, you're guaranteed to catch a glimpse of a student giving an art demonstration or weavers at work on their looms as you stroll through its grand halls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 1,4,100 pesos, and if you're a fan of arthouse cinema, OJO Cine Club screens fascinating films twice a month, each one related to the month's theme. This past month's screening was "Cl\u00e9o from 5 to 7" by the renowned French filmmaker Agn\u00e8s Varda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, to celebrate everything that happened during the day, it is recommended to come on a date when the town celebrates "La Alborada" where you can see spectacular fireworks as well as contemplate the gigantic and magnificent stars and mojigangas that the locals make with such love, all without having to spend a penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
