Maruata
Location
:
Mexico
|

A favorite of backpackers, campers and Mexican students, Maruata caters to a younger, adventuresome group. There is a convenience store that sells some food items, but don't rely on it for anything specific. Much of the food spoils rapidly in the warm, humid climate.

San Miguel de Allende
Location
:
Mexico
|
 San Miguel de Allende is a quiet town that is remarkably comfortable to the traveller and expatriate, one that is calm, quiet, and has a rhythm of its own. It's rhythm isn't of the Samba, or the Mexican hat dance. Its the beat of a quiet gentle drum marked by relaxing days in the town, and then a nighttime stroll before the pink granite church made in delicate and almost bizarre churrigueresque elements. It's a town for the independent mind, and comfortable enough for a whole community of expects to shape it into a different kind of place.
