In the 1950s a large number of immigrants from the United States, Canada and Europe discovered a secret paradise in which excesses, good life and art were available at a very low price. Recently named as "The best city in the world", this Mexican territory is currently known for its elegant spas, cafes, galleries and colorful houses that make it one of the most developed tourist destinations in the country, one that conceals underneath a past that few remember or would believe possible.

The series consists of original photographs currently captured by the author and a collection of archival family album pictures collected from the foreign community of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in between 1950 - 1980.
