Restaurant San Miguel de Allende - Very Much Mexican

Some authors would have you believe that American tourists and expatriates have taken over San Miguel de Allende, in central Mexico . Read their articles and to assume San Miguel has become an enclave of English speaking , a "gringo - Finland " with anyone but the Americans have all the pieces of property , only expatriates who sit on the benches in the Garden , a loud, arrogant - bashing Mexican , Spanish speaking Americans do not eat in restaurants.

You could be wrong .

While it is true that San Miguel de Allende has a good number of Americans , tourists and full-time residents , remains an authentic Mexican town.

Let's look at the numbers. The city government has 80,000 people in the urban population. At any given time , 11 to 12.000 of them are foreign residents , approximately 70 % of United States. Some 7,000 expatriates living in San Miguel de visas for permanent residence ; the rest come with temporary tourist visas .

So what do these numbers mean? If 15% of the population of San Miguel are foreigners (and only 10.5 % are American ), then 85% of the residents of San Miguel are Mexican. If Americans have " bought every piece of real estate in sight " to quote a prolific writer anti -San Miguel , where are these 68,000 Mexicans living in urban areas ?
