Posted on July 22, 2022
I’m co-teaching with my friend, Michelle Allen, Feb. 10-18 2023 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico!!! Come join us!!!
Location
San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO heritage city has been a home for artists since the 1930s.
Cobblestone-lined streets, art galleries, colorful doors that open into mysterious courtyards, alleyways filled with beautiful plantings, centuries-old buildings and, of course, the bells of the pink Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel in the Jardin.
