3 Best Bars in San Miguel de Allende and the Heartland, Mexico

Students gather for drinks and salsa dancing (including classes) at Galería de Sabores.

Calle Sopeña is one of the hottest streets on weekend nights. La Dama de las Camelias, with its dingy-hip furnishings and longtime regulars, manages to stay unpretentious while pulling off its dive-bar-meets-vaudeville theme. You'll find everyone from twentysomethings to sixtysomethings hitting the dance floor for salsa and cumbia. It's open until 4 am.

Live salsa, cumbia, and other Latin tunes are played at La Porfiriana every night from 10:30 pm to 3 am.
