San Miguel de Allende Mexico Bed and Breakfast Guests Enjoy a Special Treat in August

This summer of 2009, the hotels and bed and breakfasts of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico will once again fill up with fans of classical music.

From August 5th through the 16th, the 31st season of San Miguel de Allende’s International Chamber Music festival will take place at various venues throughout the city.

For three decades, world-renowned chamber musicians from all over the world have performed in historic settings like the Angela Peralta Theater and the San Francisco Temple. This year we’ll see groups such the Jupiter String Quartet from Boston, Massachusetts and the Carlos Chavez String Quartet from Mexico City at the festival.

Expresion en Corto 2009 - International Film Festival 2009

We at Antigua Capilla Bed and Breakfast are honored to be a part of Adopt a Filmmaker, a program that provides accommodations for up-and-coming filmmakers that will be showcasing their work at the 12th annual International Short Film Festival, Expresion en Corto. These artists travel all over the world in hopes of being discovered, and paying for hotels and accommodations can get quite costly.

This year’s short film festival will take place from July 24th to July 28th in San Miguel de Allende, and July 29th to August 2nd in Guanajuato, and will host filmmakers from all over the world. If you stay at our San Miguel de Allende B&B this July, you might just meet the next Guillermo del Toro!
