About San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is one of the colonial cities of the central highlands of Mexico that played a major role in the independence of the country.
Come see why it has been voted one of the top ten places in the world to visit!
The Iron Hostel is located just outside the center in the Colonia of Guadalupe where the restaurants are excellent
and inexpensive and the streets are quiet and safe.
We can give you info on the nearby attractions, including out-of-the-way places that most tourists never see.
