The Walls of San Miguel de Allende

[heart_this] · Dec 9, 2018 · Leave a Comment

San Miguel’s architecture impresses everyone who walks its street but the color of the walls are what gives the town its distinct character. Reds, oranges, yellows, browns and whites. Viewed up close the walls appear to be color field paintings. What is the message?

San Miguel de Allende is a colonial town in the Central highlands of Mexico. It has become a bohemian tourist destination visited by more than 1 million people per year. Even though it one of the most visited cities in the world it still holds many secrets. Andrés Carnalla, photographer, explores the wall’s secrets with his photos.

WHAT SECRETS DO THE WALLS TELL?

Walk the town. Look for color, pattern texture. What are the walls telling you?
