Día de Muertos in San Miguel de Allende is an experience that transcends celebration. It's an act of collective memory, a feast of colors, aromas, and emotions that transforms every corner of the city.
The celebration begins days before November 1 and 2. Monumental altars are installed in the Jardín Principal, the Parroquia, and cultural spaces throughout the city.
The Catrina Parade is one of the most photogenic moments. Thousands of people walk the downtown streets painted as skulls, with elaborate costumes and mariachi music.
The cemetery ceremony is perhaps the most intimate moment. Families decorate their loved ones' graves with marigold flowers, candles, and offerings.
For visitors, San Miguel offers special experiences during these dates: altar-making workshops, Catrina makeup classes, nighttime tours, and themed dinners.
From Hotel Amatte, we organize exclusive Día de Muertos experiences: pairing dinners with seasonal ingredients, pan de muerto workshops, and guided tours of the most impressive altars.
