Information sources
The first thing you want to do is get the Atención, a weekly newspaper that gives you the rundown on everything that is happening in town. It is published on Friday and can be found in the Jardin, library and many other local shops. This tells you about all the local dance music and art shows. There are also two websites to include with more event information. Sanmiguelevents.com and Accesssanmiguel.com
