Fun and entertainment San Miguel De Allende

Inaugurated in 1873 by soprano Ángela Peralta, the "Mexican Nightingale", this theater is an architectural gem initiated in 1871 under the aegis of architect Juan Mañón. Over the years, it has hosted zarzuelas, operettas, circuses and even boxing matches, before becoming a cinema. Its current Porfirian-style façade dates from 1915. Today, this historic venue hosts a variety of events: plays, dance performances, concerts, children's workshops, conferences and festivals such as the International Jazz and Blues and the Cervantino.

When you walk past Lavanda, don't be surprised to see a line of coffeeaficionados at all hours. Their selection of coffee, from Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero, is undoubtedly among the best in town. Their menu also offers tasty breakfasts, with delights such as French toast topped with cream cheese, figs and walnuts, or the succulent baked potato casserole with mushrooms, cheese, fried egg and bacon. Our favorite.

When you step through the sturdy wooden doors of this traditional cantina , you're not just entering a restaurant, but also San Miguel's rich past. Founded in 1920, its real transformation came in 1945 under the aegis of an avant-garde couple. Despite conventions forbidding women in these spaces, the intrepid Doña Manuela reigned supreme, offering a distinctive absinthe drink. From the pastor fish taco to the octopus carpaccio, not forgetting the seafood tostadas , each plate is a hymn to the delights of the sea.

Disco-shaped Disco: the tables are arranged around the dance trail. More common than Grito but effective: The balconies allow the dulcinées to throw small bits of paper to those on the track to call them.
