San Miguel de Allende   Zoom in
View full listing   
With it's large ex-pat community of artists and writers, there are lots of gay folk in San Miguel de Allende but not much of a formal gay scene but you should find the city quite welcoming. Every street has elegant boutiques, great gourmet restaurants and everywhere there is art. The crowd is a little older than most places in Mexico and some would say the city is a little bit staid so if you're looking for a party scene you'll have to head into Mexico City or at least Leon.

Popular tourist destination near Mexico City. The town is famous for the remains of a temple built on top of the nearby Tepozteco mountain. Weekends crowded with tourists, especially along 5 de mayo and Revolucion Avenida, which can be rather cruisy during the day. Shops downtown sell gay-related items, signs, guys in drag, penises carved of rock, etc. The climb to the Tepozteco is rather cruisy at times.
