Been There – San Miguel de Allende

Starbucks Been There – San Miguel de Allende is a mug for the Mexican city located in the far eastern part of Guanajuato.
Two names of historical persons are incorporated in the city’s name:
– Friar Juan de San Miguel who arrived in Uruapan in 1533 and helped to evangelize the local villagers
– Ignacio Allende, a martyr of Mexican Independence, who was born in a house facing the city’s central plaza
La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel can be seen on the side of the mug. This unique to Mexico parish church is the symbol of the town. It is one of the most photographed churches in the country and the two tall towers of its neo-Gothic facade can be seen from most parts of the city.
Please be advised, that it’s been quite some time since the release of the mug and it is now easily available in stores.
