No remedy for the
Sunday blues like a day out on the town. Our families left this past week and
we found a dose of San Miguel de Allende to be the perfect medication.
First stop: Café Muro
At Café
Muro, we had a delicious breakfast of Thanksgiving leftovers with owners Gerardo Arteaga and Carlos Muro. What better therapy than
another Thanksgiving feast, complete with Turkey, Sausage Stuffing and Mashed
Potatoes and gravy.
Café Muro has a warm vibe; it feels like being
home with family, offering consistently good food and great views of downtown
SMA from the rooftop.
The Obraje neighborhood, where Café Muro is
located, is an up and coming artist community that’s also home to the new Live
Aqua Resort.
Café Muro set the escapades for the day and SMA
was the perfect playground.

Second Stop: The Carmen Jimenez Exhibit
Centro Cultural Santa María del Obraje, Calzada
de la Presa #50.
On the way down the hill from Café Muro, we
ducked into Centro Cultural Santa María del Obraje for a enchanting surprise.
I’m not exactly sure how I missed this artist in the past but her sculptures
are magnificent; a collection of works you need to own if you’re in the market
for fine art. Carmen told me she’s been commissioned to create a sculpture for the
Live Aqua Resort.
Our visit here was the surprise of the day.
It’s always great to discover a new artist, especially one that lives in SMA. Keep
an eye on Carmen Jimenez for new exhibits; this one ended last Monday.
Third stop: Bella Italia for liquid libations, a hug from
owner Paolo Vizzotto, the
President of CANIRAC and a super-quick cure: Mexican Music. Feliciano and Salomón are good alone but when they play together, they’re
magic. My playlist, which includes favorites, La Llorona and La Fiesta Del
Mariachi, is getting longer. Nothing
like a whole afternoon of music to nurse the Sunday blues along with people
watching; our favorite pastime besides eating.

Forth stop: POLP
S.M.A. Gastrobar, for a culinary adventure served on small
plates designed for sampling and sharing; our favorite way to eat and bring another
remarkable day in SMA to an end.
