Friday, July 10th we’ll visit:
In 1980, the rocky hillside extending from the Cañada del Charco del Ingenio was still undeveloped due to the difficult terrain and the steep ascent of the Cuesta de San José, part of the historic Camino de Tierra Adentro.
Ms. Fuller, an American businesswoman, took on the challenge of building one of the first modern condominiums in San Miguel de Allende.
Her mission was to create minimalistic homes with shared gardens and social spaces to foster a sense of community.
The result is Quinta Jacarandas, a green space with nine homes, planted trees, and beautiful views of the city from the top of the Cuesta de San José.
During your visit, we’ll explore one of the upstairs apartments, the common areas, and the iconic Cruz del Buen Camino (Cross of the Good Way) in San José de la Montaña.
Currently, its residents are a diverse community of artists, culture enthusiasts, and knowledge lovers who volunteer their time with organizations like Biblioteca Pública AC and ABBA.
This extraordinary house was designed as an authentic colonial home, with all the rooms converging on a large central courtyard.
The spacious, fully equipped kitchen will have you reaching for a cookbook!
The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and typical of our region.
What makes this visit truly unique is that the owners have built a mask museum in their backyard.
They have traveled throughout Latin America collecting masks that have been used in traditional celebrations, funerals, and parades.
