This is still reflected in San Miguel’s thriving markets, where traders peddle everything from hand-painted porcelain to jade-studded bracelets. In the 20th century, a steady influx of artists and artisans transformed what was once an unassuming town into a cosmopolitan community that prizes craftsmanship and artistry. If, on the other hand, you’re in the mood for exploring, the culture-rich city centre lies just beyond the casa’s time-worn walls. You may have the city’s best sights, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, but it’s all too easy to spend a day moving from the spa hut to the library to the roof, catching the best of the afternoon sun from the hot tub. ![]() The old-world romance of the courtyard and the exoticism of the roof terrace make the casa an inherently pleasing place to while away your time. ![]()
