Mexico FAQ
Hello. I've created these series of pages in answer to the slew of email I've been receiving since I began posting a series of
journal entries
about my experiences during the first few months after moving to San Miguel de Allende, a town in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico.
After being emailed requests about everything from what day certain festivals occur to passing along messages to other San Miguel residents. I decided it was time to get organized.
But first, here's some FINE PRINT...
This is not an official guide, nor is it held to be factually correct, especially with regard to Mexican law concerning such things as immigration policies, etc. However, I will say that this information is correct to the best of my understanding. Consider this legal notice that I will not be held responsible for any problems you might encounter based on the information provided here. Sorry I had to do that.
However, should you disagree with any of the information provided here, or wish to add your own thoughts please feel free to email me at
