Enjoy, up close and personal, what makes San Miguel de Allende the epicenter of both the cult of cross and witchcraft because from an indigenous mindset anything good (the cross) will have a corresponding not so good (witches). Join the celebration that starts May’s cross fiestas in our oldest neighborhoods. This well attended fiesta includes food and a blessing (if desired) by the woman that runs the ancient chapel.
