I have been totally lame about blogging here, so I will link to ANOTHER article. Others write! I tag along! I do like this series of travel articles in the New York Times. Their suggestions for San Miguel are pretty good, by and large. Of course, Casa Colina is a MUCH more comfortable and economical choice than the hotels they list in the article.

New York Times 36 Hours in San Miguel.
I am pretty fond of La Azotea and La Sirena Gorda, two very different bars mentioned in the article. It's always worthwhile to ask if there is an Hora Feliz going on. As to hot springs, Escondido (mentioned in the article) is my personal favorite, although most of my friends prefer La Gruta, and the kids are all about Xote.
