 | The Doors of San Miguel de Allende by Robert De Gast
Picturesque San Miguel de Allende is one of the oldest towns in Mexico. 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 there in 1987 he was particularly captivated by its doors -- of mansions, houses, stables, churches, banks, studios, and stores. He returned five years later to document these doors; eighty of his photographs from that trip have been selected for this charming book. De Gast lives part of every year in San Miguel, where he continues to photograph and write. AUTHOR: Robert De Gast
