From the Publisher: Embracing November, Beyond Centro and into the Countryside

By Camie Fenton

This month's edition opens with an insightful essay by Lisa Babincsak exploring the evolving tourism landscape beyond Centro, highlighting how vineyards, ranches, and historical corridors offer a broader, experiential destination for travelers.

Readers can also dive into a citywide celebration honoring the legendary artist Pedro Friedeberg across three iconic venues through February 2027, alongside a fascinating profile of Bill Graham and his efforts to address the city's key challenges through the newly established San Miguel Forum.

The issue is packed with rich local journalism, including Judith Jenya's deep dive into the 30-year legacy of Warren and Tuli Hardy's Spanish language school, Catherine Marenghi’s exploration of the rich history of Mexican turkey from ancient Mesoamerica to modern cuisine, and Jonathan Lockwood's spotlight on the return of Mezcal-Art.

Art lovers will also appreciate features on photographer Jennifer Posner's "Unspoken Stories" exhibition, Alejandro Anaya's surrealist artistry, and the 5^th Anniversary International Watercolor Plein Air Festival. Community spirit shines through reports on Mano Amiga's microloans for local women entrepreneurs and La Biblioteca’s year-end matching campaign.

From seasonal fashion trends and jazz festival previews to essential home maintenance advice for the transition out of the rainy season, this edition serves as an indispensable guide for residents and visitors alike to stay informed, engaged, and deeply connected to the heart of San Miguel de Allende.
