This is an islamic influence on architecture in San Miguel de Allende. Which is related Moriscos (Spanish: [moˈɾiskos], Catalan: [muˈɾiskus]; Portuguese: mouriscos [mo(w)ˈɾiʃkuʃ]; Spanish for “Moorish”) were former Muslims and their descendants whom the Roman Catholic Church and the Spanish Crown commanded to convert to Christianity or face compulsory exile after Spain outlawed the open practice of Islam. Inflcnace is not only in architecture but also in food. This type of Gairo places can be found all along San Antonio Ancha. Lam, cooked over open fire and sliced thin for serving.

Every morning starts with sweeping and washing streets. Each single vendor once they open shops, start sweeping first, after washing streets and sidewalks in front of their stores. Washing has to do not only with cleaning or deflecting hot air with water, but also driving bad (evil) spirits away, who gather around during night. My mother used to do it every single morning too.

Coach had been striped with rope and pooled from ground all the way to the 3rd floor.

This man sells plants everyday. He gets his plans on Ancha, in corner nursery and brings them directly to your home. This morning those hedraganies looks gorgeous! FYI -corer nursery is never locked, all it has a little chain owners put at night. Nobody steals anything.

Same coach. Different angle. Person holding it on the second floor, while one from ground level runs to the 3rd floor, to help person on 3rd floor to pool it up.

Different moring, same lady, same clean up.

Another day on Orizaba. Family sells food on the street.

Old gentleman pooling and pushing cart loaded with old wooden boxes.

And here another old gentleman. I do not know what he had on the cart,but it was not easy for him. Mexicans are one of the most hardworking people on the planet.
