This book is photographer Terry Vine’s portrait of the central-Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. The intimate images offer a peek at festivals, holy days and “diversiones” seldom seen by outsiders—from cockfights to quincinaeras to crucifixions. Notations at the bottom of each page, plus a map in the center of the book, offer an insider’s guide to the best locations for obscure and often exotic games and rituals throughout Mexico.
