ʻO ke kūlanakauhale ʻo San Miguel de Allende, aia ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Guanajuato, kahi o nā wahi nani loa ma ka Repubalika ʻo Mekiko.
Hoʻopuni ʻia e nā mahiʻai a me nā mahiā ulu, ʻo ke kūlanakauhale kahi oasis ma waenakonu o kahi nani o ka wao akua. ʻO kona mau hale nui a me nā hale pule kahi laʻana o ka mea nui i loaʻa i kēia kūlanakauhale i ka manawa o ka noho aliʻi. I loko o nā keʻena o kekahi o kēlā mau hale nui i hana ʻia ai ke kaua kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻāina. Ua hoʻohana ka poʻe kipi i nā hui, kahi a lākou i hui ai e hoʻolālā i ka haunaele. Ma waena o kēia mau kāne ʻo Don Ignacio de Allende, nā kaikuaʻana ʻo Aldama, Don Francisco Lanzagorta a me nā kamaʻāina ʻē aʻe o San Miguel i iho i ka mōʻaukala ma ke ʻano he koa o Mekiko.
ʻO San Miguel el Grande, San Miguel de los Chichimecas, Izcuinapan, e like me ka mea i kapa ʻia ma mua, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1542 e fray Juan de San Miguel, o ke kauoha Franciscan, ma kahi kokoke i ka muliwai ʻo La Laja, he mau mile ma lalo kahi i waiho ai i kēia manawa He ʻumikūmākahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ma muli o nā hoʻouka kaua a nā Chichimecas, ua neʻe ʻo ia i ka puʻu kahi e noho nei, ma kahi aʻe o nā puna wai ʻo El Chorro, ka mea i hoʻolako i ke kūlanakauhale mai kona hoʻokumu ʻia a i kekahi mau makahiki i hala. I kēia manawa ua luhi lākou i ka luʻu nui ʻana o nā luawai a puni lākou.
ʻO ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāwalu ka manawa o ka hanohano o San Miguel, a aia kona māka ma nā alanui āpau, i kēlā me kēia hale, i kēlā me kēia kihi. Hōʻike ka waiwai a me ka ʻono maikaʻi i kāna mau contour āpau. ʻO ka Colegio de San Francisco de Sales, kahi hale i haʻalele ʻia i kēia manawa, ua manaʻo ʻia ia manawa he mea nui e like me ka Colegio de San Ildefonso ma Mexico City. ʻO ka Palacio del Mayorazgo de la Canal, ʻo ia ka noho o kahi panakō, e hōʻike ana i kahi ʻano hoʻololi ma waena o Baroque a me Neoclassical, i hoʻoulu ʻia e nā hale aliʻi Palani a me ʻItalia o ke kenekulia 16, ke ʻano o ka hopena o ke kenekulia 18. ʻO ia ka hale kīwila koʻikoʻi loa i kēia ʻāina. ʻO ka Concepción Convent, i hoʻokumu ʻia e kekahi lālā o kēia ʻohana De la Canal like, me kāna pā nui nui, he kula ʻoihana ia i kēia manawa, a ʻo nā hale pule o ka inoa like he kiʻi pena nui a me kahi hui hīmeni haʻahaʻa i mālama piha ʻia. , me kona kuahu baroque hanohano.
Ma hope o Independence, ua waiho ʻia ʻo San Miguel i kahi lethargy a me he mea lā ʻaʻole e hala ana ka manawa ma luna ona, ua hōʻino ʻia ka mahiʻai a ʻo kona emi ʻana ua haʻalele ka hapa nui o kāna poʻe kamaʻāina iā ia. Ma hope, me ka Revolution o 1910, aia kekahi ala hou a haʻalele i nā mahi holoholona a me nā hale. Eia nō naʻe, noho mau nā ʻohana kahiko ma aneʻi; ʻOiai nā hoʻololi a me nā manawa maikaʻi ʻole, ʻaʻole i nalowale ko mākou mau kūpuna i ko lākou aʻa.
ʻAʻole ia a hiki i nā makahiki 1940s i loaʻa hou ai kēia wahi i kona kaulana a ʻike ʻia e nā kamaʻāina a me nā malihini no kona nani kū hoʻokahi a me kona haku aliʻi, no kona ʻano akahai, no ke ʻano maikaʻi o ke ola e hāʻawi ai. Hoʻihoʻi ʻia nā hale me ka hoʻololi ʻole i kā lākou kaila a hoʻololi ʻia i ke ola o kēia ao. Hele nui nā haole, i ke aloha i kēia ʻano o ke ola, neʻe mai kā lākou mau ʻāina a hele mai e noho ma aneʻi. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā kula kiʻi me nā kumu i ʻike ʻia (ma waena o lākou ʻo Siqueiros lāua ʻo Chávez Morado) a me nā kula ʻōlelo. Hoʻokumu ka National Institute of Fine Arts i kahi kikowaena moʻomeheu i kahi hale koneo mua, me ka kūleʻa ʻole ʻia. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā ʻahamele, nā ʻaha mele a me nā ʻaha kūkā o ke ʻano ʻoi loa e hiki ai i kekahi ke loaʻa, a me kahi hale waihona puke ʻōlelo ʻelua - ʻo ia ka lua o nā mea nui i ka ʻāina- a me kahi hale hōʻikeʻike mōʻaukala kahi home o ka meʻe Ignacio de Allende Hoʻonui nā hōkele a me nā hale ʻaina o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā kumukūʻai; nā wai wela, nā discos a me nā hale kūʻai me nā mea kūʻai aku like ʻole a me kahi hui kolepa. ʻO nā hana lima kūloko ka piʻo, keleawe, pepa mache, kīʻaha puhi. Lawe ʻia kēia mau mea āpau i kahi ʻē a lawe mai i ka pōmaikaʻi i ke kūlanakauhale hou.
Ua hele ka waiwai i loko o ka hale; ʻaʻole i hoʻopā ʻia nā pilikia hou loa iā lākou, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi liʻiliʻi ma Mekiko kahi e piʻi ai ka waiwai i kēlā me kēia lā me nā ʻanuʻu hoihoi. ʻO kekahi o nā māmala ʻōlelo e hoka ʻole i ka poʻe kūwaho e kipa mai iā mākou ʻo ia: "Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi hoʻowahāwahā makamae, o kēlā mau hale i haʻalele ʻia e pono ai ma waho, e hoʻomaopopo iaʻu." ʻO ka mea a lākou e ʻike ʻole ai hiki i ka “ruita” ke uku aku iā lākou ma mua o ka hale ma Mexico City.
ʻOiai kēia, ua hoʻomau ʻo San Miguel i kēlā leʻaleʻa mokuʻāina a mākou e ʻimi nei. Ua hopohopo nui ke kaiāulu kīwila e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i kāna "poʻe", kāna hoʻolālā ʻana, kona mau alanui cobbled, e hāʻawi iā ia i kēlā ʻano o ka maluhia a pale i nā kaʻa mai ka holo kolohe ʻana, kāna mau mea kanu, ka mea i hōʻino ʻole, a he aha ʻo ka mea nui, ko lākou ʻano o ke ola, ke kūʻokoʻa e koho ai i ke ʻano o ke ola āu e makemake ai, ʻo ka maluhia o ka wā i hala, ke ola ma waena o nā mea noʻeau a me ka moʻomeheu, a i ʻole kahi kaiāulu e hana ana i nā cocktails, nā ʻaha, nā ʻahamele.
ʻO ia ke ola o ka ʻōpio ma waena o nā kalapu pō, nā discos a me nā leʻaleʻa a i ʻole ka make a me ke ola haipule o ko mākou mau kupunawahine, ʻoiai he ʻano ʻē ia, ʻike ʻia kekahi mai kēlā manawa kēia manawa i ka hopena o ka pule a i ʻole i kāna mau kaʻina hana a me nā ʻoliʻoli hoʻomana. He kūlanakauhale ʻo San Miguel no nā "pāʻina" a me nā hōkū, o ka pahu a me nā puʻupuʻu i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, o nā mea huluhulu hulu i ke kahua nui, nā parade, nā bipi kauō, nā mele o nā ʻano like ʻole. Noho ka hapa nui o nā haole a me nā poʻe Mekiko he nui i neʻe mai nā kūlanakauhale nui e ʻimi nei i ke ola ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, a nui nā kamaʻāina o San Miguel e noho nei ma aneʻi ke nīnau mai lākou iā mākou: "Pehea kou lōʻihi ma aneʻi?", Pane haʻaheo mākou: "Ma aneʻi? Ma mua paha o ʻelua haneli mau makahiki. Mau, maliʻa ”.
