The doors are famous in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, MexicoFrom the log the JM kept on the Feb/March Chiripa buying trip to Mexico:
We spent the morning packing and labeling our delicate San Miguel treasures for shipment. It was the usual desperate struggle with boxes, tape, stickers, bubble wrap and packing lists, but finally we had everything packed and ready for delivery to the familiar little freight office of the estimable Sr Victor Manuel Torres y Osuna. Sr. Torres will ship the items to our export shipper in Guadalajara.
We made a final stop at the Rocio craft workshop, which makes hand-painted nichos and etchings that you will treasure. Then we started our long bus trip to Oaxaca in southern Mexico. We changed buses in Queretaro and Mexico City, and made an overnight stop in Pureble--two hours east of Mexico City over the mountain pass traveled by Cortes at the time of the Spanish conquest. Puebla is a large industrial city, but the old city center is a well-preserved colonial treasure that features Talavera tile facades.
The Hotel Colonial entrace in downtown PureblaWhen we are in Puebla, we always shop for a few skeleton nichos and other small treasures at the shop of our friends Miguel and Lilia. Their creations always make us smile, and you will smile, too.
