Architectural design and spacious gardens give the small central Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende its indisputable charm. The same could be said of Casa Las Palmas, a $4 million compound in the historic center near one of the city’s landmark green spaces.br br Over the past 500 years, San Miguel has evolved from a Spanish outpost and silver mining hub in the 16th century to the birthplace of the uprising against Spain for independence in the 19th century and a haven for artists and artisans in the early 20th century. Today, it’s a top travel destination where the rich can buy a second home unlike any other in a city unlike any other.br br Casa Las Palmas sits across from Benito Juarez Park and dates to the late 1990s.
