Do you have a favorite world city? One of mine, San Miguel de Allende, returned to the annual Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler <\/em>Readers\u2019 Choice Awards at the top of the \u201cSmall Cities in the World\u201d list. San Miguel had also been recognized as the \u201cBest Small City in the World\u201d in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, more than 715,000 readers submitted responses, rating their travel experiences across the globe. Chiang Mai, Thailand, came in second place, followed by another Mexican entry, M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n. Monte Carlo in Monaco came in fourth, and the capital of Malta, Valletta, was fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Miguel is well-known as a UNESCO World Heritage city, set in Mexico\u2019s central highlands in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. It is admired for its baroque Spanish architecture, thriving arts scene and cultural festivals, and is a favorite for U.S. and Canadian expats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Miguel started its reopening process on July 15after a four-month closing of its entrances to non-residents. With more than 200,000 inhabitants, San Miguel has reported one of Mexico\u2019s lowest numbers of cases of Covid-19. This is a result of strict health policies, and its local \u201cHealth First\u201d certification launched on May 25, and reinforced by certification with the WTTC \u201cSafe Travels\u201d stamp on July 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is now looking to regain its footing in the business and romance travel markets. Thirty-seven non-stop flights arrive per week from the U.S. to Guanajuato\u2019s international airport (BJX), which serves San Miguel de Allende. Local hotels are already able to book up to 50 percent of available rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Miguel de Allende is also home to four of the top 15 \u201cBest Hotels in Mexico\u201d as ranked by readers: Rosewood San Miguel de Allende (No. 1), Hotel Matilda (No. 2), Hotel Casa Rosada (No. 5) and Dos Casas Hotel & Spa (No. 13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are more than proud to return to the RCA list this year, and … for this honor that is, without doubt, a reflection of the welcoming nature of our residents and the hard work our tourism infrastructure does on a continuous basis,\u201d said San Miguel de Allende\u2019s Mayor, Luis Alberto Villarreal Garc\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsidering the current situation of the tourism industry, we are overjoyed with this recognition,\u201d added Laura Torres Septi\u00e9n, President of the San Miguel de Allende Tourism Board. \u201cWe welcome any and all good news that gives a sense of normalcy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
