Food Scene
We love this place for wood fired pizza and pastas on Sunday. Generally the menu is very good Italian and they often have a nice band playing. Band starts at 8pm.

Cumpanio

Good place, good Mexican food and other things like lentil soup, nice red wine (tempranillo) by the glass, long tequila menu (I love 7 Leagues). Live music every night. We usually go there the first night of every trip. Kind of has a Rick's Place vibe to it. BEST BET WHEN YOU GET IN FOR DINNER AFTER A LATE FLIGHT. Tio Lucas has a great jazz trio, but they don't start until 9pm.

Expensive by San Miguel standards but cool experience. You are essentially having dinner at a guy’s house. It can feel slightly stuffy until you’ve drank a couple carafes of his special red wine, which is great. It's expensive by San Miguel standards. Spanish food.

Our kids want to go here every night for the pizza. The spaghetti and meatballs are good, too. Good place to be if you can get table upstairs. Cheap, cozy, fun.

Small cute, restaurant with great service and good steaks. Feels like a date night place. We love it and probably go there more than any other restaurant in San Miguel. We love the inside of the restaurant rather than the patio.

Collection of shops and super upscale food court. There is a Champagne bar we like where you can get nice Champagne by the glass. They have a non-big brand sparkling rose that is fairly inexpensive and quite good. The hamburger place in the food court is good, too. Dragones tasting room on the other side opposite of the Champagne bar.

Parks & Nature
I love this place so much. I hike here almost every day when in San Miguel. You can visit this beautiful place 1000 times and always discover something new. Try to find the ladders down into the waterfall area and boulder hop past waterfalls.
