Books: Behind the Doors of San Miguel de Allende
|
|
This unusual book celebrates the colorful, sunwashed doorways of San Miguel de Allende, one of the oldest towns in Mexico. Picturesque, intellectually stimulating and historically fascinating, this arts-and-crafts and cultural center is a popular destination for tourists, expatriates, and vacationers. When photographer-writer Robert de Gast first visited San Miguel de Allende in 1987 he was particularly captivated by its doors---of mansions, houses, stables, churches, banks, studios, and stores. He returned to San Miguel de Allende five years later to them; eighty of his photographs from that trip have been selected for this entrancing book. De Gast lives part of every year in San Miguel de Allende, where he continues to photograph and write.
