SMA does it again! This time the colonial jewel of Guanajuato came number one on the INSIDERs annual poll
Every year, INSIDERs readers rate the best cities in the world, and the results continue to be surprisingly good for San Miguel de Allende. Guanajuato.
Not only do newcomers sometimes float to the top, but longtime favorites also continue to reappear — a testament to a destination’s enduring popularity.
