SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE is a beautiful, old, walking city, nestled in the Bajía mountains of Central Mexico. Located in the state of Guanajuato, the town was founded in 1542 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Why San Miguel for a Writers Retreat?
San Miguel is one of the most beautiful places in Mexico. Home to writers, artists, art lovers, and expats (among others), it is a charming, old, aesthetically rich city that offers great views from almost everywhere you look. Writers, artists, and academics have found sanctuary, inspiration, and peaceful places to work here for decades. The food is fabulous, the people are friendly, and almost everyone you meet seems to have both creative impulses and a wellness practice.
Writing ✍️
We’ll meet for three 3-hour writing workshops, daily
Writers can submit up to 40 pages (10,000 words) before the retreat begins and will receive line edits, written feedback, and a discussion of their work during the retreat.
Writers can sign up for a half-hour, one-on-one conference with Laura.
Activities 📷
We’ll spend afternoons writing, reading, swimming, and touring the local scene.
Dining 🍲
Four breakfasts (Saturday-Tuesday)
Four dinners (Friday-Monday)
Three lunches (Saturday-Monday)
One “welcome” drink on Friday night
Mexico is a gastronomical dream. Both contemporary and Indigenous Mexican cuisine are infused with complex and nuanced flavors that date back to early civilization. We’re ecstatic to partner with Salt Sweet Spice and offer two intimate meals at a private home. We will also eat two dinners at restaurants.
Price 💵
Inclusions: Workshops, Meals, and Transportation from the airport to the hotel
