San Miguel de Allende is the municipal seat of the municipality of Allende, Guanajuato. It is a historic town founded in 1542 that has become an attractive tourist destination for wealthy Mexico City residents and has a large American and Canadian expatriate community comprised primarily of retirees.

San Miguel de Allende is located in the eastern part of Guanajuato in Mexico`s mountainous bajío region. The bajío (low place) is actually about 2000 m (7000 ft) above sea level, but it is a relatively flat region surrounded by mountains; it is a part of the Mexican altiplano. San Miguel serves as the administrative seat for the surrounding municipality of Allende, Guanajuato.

In the counterculture years of the 1960s, San Miguel began its career as a center for American expatriatism and was a popular destination for Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, as recorded in Tom Wolfe´s novel The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Beat writer Neal Cassady died beside the railroad tracks between San Miguel and Celaya after a party in town.

Famous worldwide for its mild climate, thermal springs and colonial era architecture, San Miguel de Allende has attracted a large community of foreign residents. Many expatriates return regularly to the United States to receive treatment as well as to maintain their residence status in their home country. Canadian residents often live six months in Mexico and six months in Canada to maintain their Canadian health coverage.

San Miguel has applied for a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, which will be decided in 2008. City officials are preserving the historic center and controlling development within the city to qualify for this significant international designation.
