Concerts were held in historical places like the Property of Santa Maria del Obraje, the classic enclosure of Bellas Artes building, ex- convent of the concepcionistas, and the parish of San Miguel Arcángel.

San Miguel de Allende has been declared by UNESCO, Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity. It is the reason why it offers a great supply of tourist services
