Hyders Hacienda Canvas Prints
The Hyder House is more than just a house. It is a compound. Behind an unassuming street side wall and massive wood doors lie a series of 3 houses. With bougainvillea, climbing roses, mesquite trees and heady, purple-blooming jacarandas spilling everywhere you will find a labyrinth of great rooms, libraries, patios, hidden stairwells and garden nooks. Everywhere you look there is a view more beautiful than the last. Awed, Amazed, Gob smacked, these are just a few of the words used by first time visitors. San Miguel de Allende is a city and municipality located in the far eastern part of the state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. Historically, the town is important as being the birthplace of Ignacio Allende, whose surname was added to the town name in 1826. The main attraction of the town is its well preserved historic center, filled with buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. This and the nearby Sanctuary of Atotonilco have been declared World Heritage Sites. At the entrance of the city are statues of Ignacio Allende, Juan Aldama, Miguel Hidalgo and Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez, with one of the Archangel Michael in the center. Due to its growth as a tourist destination, some of the most obvious culture seen on the streets of the town relates to visitors, both foreign and Mexican. San Miguel de Allende has long had a reputation as a haven for visual artists. Since the 1950s, when Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros worked there, it has attracted professional and amateur painters, sculptors and printmakers to the classes and workshops frequently held.
