Still Safe in Guanajuato?
Posted: Thu March 19, 2009 11:31 PM UTC

I'm planning a return trip to Guanajuato and am wondering if the situation has changed there? I was there last summer and it seemed pretty unthreatening but the news is giving me second thoughts about the whole country. Anybody have recent experience in Guanajuato?

When is the best time to fly to Leon Guanajuato (BJX)?
Posted: Fri October 3, 2008 12:06 AM UTC

We need to plan a family reunion, and money is an issue. Im wondering what time of year is most affordable? Do we save by buying our tickets with months in advance? What about the weather? I have never been there so have no experience. :(

I just need to find the most affordable rates, we are a family of four so it adds up quickly.

Thanks in advance.

Oh, we would be flying out of LAX.

Things to do...Cooking classes?
Posted: Wed March 5, 2008 06:56 PM UTC

Hello VTers.
I'm headed to San Miguel for 3 nights in a few weeks with my boyfriend and his parents. We already have a place to stay, but are looking for things to do. I've never been, but I hear there's lots of shopping and good restaurants. I was hoping someone might know of an english cooking class? And cost?
Anything else we HAVE to see or do?
Thanks, as always!

Teatro Juarez Performances, Etc.
Posted: Tue February 12, 2008 11:17 PM UTC

My wife and I will be in Guanajuato from Feb 23 to March 1 and were interested in seeing a performance of some kind at the Teatro Juarez. A play, a concert, anything really. I have googled it but I can't find any information or schedule. How can I get information on performances and maybe book tickets?

Also, we would like to go out dancing...salsa or whatever...we are fair dancers. While I firmly believe that 40 is the new 30, we wondered if there was place with live music and dancing that had a more adult clientele. Just some place that was not a college crowd.

Thanks,

Arne

Travel to San Miguel de Allende
Posted: Sat January 19, 2008 10:19 PM UTC

Is there regular daily bus travel to San Miguel de Allende from Guanajuato?

We'll be spending a week in Guanajuato in mid-February, but are considering going to San Miguel on two of those days since that's where we originally wanted to go there for the week.

Anyone know how long this trip might be?

Thanks much.

Limit on personal property on a tourist visa
Posted: Mon November 12, 2007 06:07 PM UTC

I will be driving down to San Miguel de Allende in a couple months. I have been dismayed by the very limited list of articles a person entering with an FMT may bring with them into Mexico! I will be down there for 3-6 months and would like to bring a few pieces of electronic equipment, more than 5 CDs(!), etc. How can I get advanced approval for these items so I don't run into customs trouble at the border? Thanks!

One week in Gunajuato in November
Posted: Fri September 28, 2007 04:57 PM UTC

Hi,

I have booked a flight for a one week visit to Mexico in November. I've been to Oaxaxa several times before, and to the Yucatan. This time I thought I'd try Guanajuato, from things I read and photos I've seen, it looks like a nice place to relax, do a little exploring, and soak up some local culture.

I'm trying to decide if I should just base myself in Guanajuato for the week , and do day trips to a few other places, or to spend 1/2 the time in Gunajuato and 1/2 in San Miguel. I hear good things about San Miguel, but I'm afraid it might be too crowded with Americans, and I might not get as much of the local culture there. Any suggestions?

Which airport to fly into
Posted: Mon July 2, 2007 01:31 PM UTC

Greetings,

We'll be visiting SMA around Thanksgiving. I know the best seems to be to fly into Leon or Queretaro and the drives are 1 1/2 and 1 hours respectively. I do want to avoid Mexico City but see some good fare to Guadalajara. Does anyone know how far that is and how long it would take from there to SMA?

Cheers,

Douglas

September in San Miguel
Posted: Wed March 28, 2007 05:14 PM UTC

We - a couple who live in Todos Santos, BCS - plan to travel for the month of September on the mainland. We would like to spend a week in San Miguel and are looking for a small self-contained casita to rent. We do not need a huge kitchen - just enough space and necessities to prepare breakfast and lunch. We have a guest casita in Todos Santos and would consider a trade - the trade to be used at a time convenient to both parties. Our casita can be seen at www.casasofiabaja.com We are also willing to pay rent - maybe $650 a week? We will be traveling by bus and would like central accommodations. Please let us know if you have any suggestions.
