Condé Nast Traveler recently announced their list of the World’s greatest cities, with San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, grasping the top spot. “The lack of street lights and billboards makes the region romantically and historically beautiful, and the city itself offers a traditional feeling of a small town in the heart of Mexico.”
With over 1.3 Million Votes, and 16,000 properties, this years Readers’ Choice Awards list was their most comprehensive ever, said the magazine.
