Beautiful, tree-filled park in the central square of San Miguel. Our hotel was just around the corner from this park and we strolled through there most nights as it was always lively and welcoming. Mariachi bands, families, tourists, a nice mix.

This is a magical place, you will hear the Mariachis singing and playing beautiful songs, people dancing, really nice vibes. During the weekends is soooooo crowded, I recommend to visit The Jardin during the week, is more quiet but really beautiful.

If you had to design you perfect romantic plaza with Mariachis and Margaritas and no neon in sight, this would be as close as you could get

There is always so much activity and excitement for both locals and tourists. Always festive and decorated during the holidays.

Throughout the day this is a lovely garden to people watch. From the quiet morning light to a mid-day snack to the mariachi bands in the evening, all times are a good time to enjoy El Jardin.

Just go and sit. Relax. Enjoy people watching. Tourists, expats, townspeople, little kids running around. Talk to the person next to you. Listen to the mariachi bands. Maybe catch a wedding coming out of the church. One of the highlights of San Miguel, day or night

Very typical of Mexican cities - the central gathering place for families and cultural events. People watching and great ice cream also available.

The garden is beautifully maintained, and the grounds are very clean. Lots of heavy wrought iron benches to sit upon. During the day, sometimes there are children playing soccer with their coaches/parents, and everyone is cheering. Streets are closed off to trafffic around this area, so it is easy walking in the streets around El Jardin. Street vendors, restaurants, museums, art galleries, gorgeous shops -everything within easy distance.

There is always something going on here, and in the evenings, the Mariachi bands play. It's the center of everything!

This area was so full of life and so colourful especially because I was there during the Independence Day celebrations. You can sit there and just look at all the people and the surroundings. It is impossible to go to San Miguel and not see this area.
