"San Miguel has been called a magical city. And now it has its own delightful talisman in this gem of a book by Jan Baross. If you want to know more about the people, the places and the essence of San Miguel, I can think of no better introduction than these lively, insightful, well crafted sketches and commentary. Jan's instincts are impeccable." -Mark Saunders, author of "Nobody Knows the Spanish I Speak"
