What can I do in San Miguel de Allende during the Christmas holidays?
A Christmas vacation in Mexico offers the perfect opportunity to indulge in the country’s religious and culinary rituals. In San Miguel de Allende, try out a delicious festive drink, ponche navideño, made by simmering local fruits like guava and tejocotes with warming spices. Fried dough pastries known as buñuelos are served with a sprinkling of sugar and cinnamon, while warming bowls of pozole – a rich, soothing soup made with hominy, meat and fresh garnishes – is often eaten on Christmas eve. Perhaps the biggest festivity, though, is on New Year’s Eve, where a mesmerising fireworks display illuminates the night sky above the iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel.
