Centro is a larger central section of town that includes and surrounds Centro Historico. It encompasses parts of the hillsides above and below the historic zone, as well as the southern area leading to Juarez Park and the northern area behind the Ignacio Ramirez Market. Centro is a highly desirable residential area in San Miguel. In addition to the historic zone, Centro features peaceful pockets, hillside locations with spectacular views, hushed thoroughfares, and Juarez Park, around which you'll find some of the most luxurious (and expensive) homes in San Miguel de Allende. A Centro address has cachet. It's popular with owners and renters, since you can enjoy the activities of town without needing a car.
