The backdrop for this historic home is San Miguel de Allende, the birthplace of the heroes of the independence movement. Located a few hours north of Mexico City in the Sierra Madres, it was founded in 1542 by Fray Juan de San Miguel, a Franciscan monk. San Miguel de Allende retains a rich colonial charm with its cobblestone streets and beautiful Spanish colonial mansions. It is one of only two cities in Mexico on the United Nations list of historical monuments. It was voted by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler as “Best City in the World” in 2013. With an average annual temperature of 71 degrees the area enjoys a perpetual spring like climate. It is here that you will find behind antique carved doors the unique colonial mansion Casa Chorro.
