During our visit to the UNESCO town of San Miguel de Allende (SMA), we stayed in Centro, which allowed us to walk everywhere. Our goal was to explore the old town with its unique architecture and view the vibrant art scene that we had heard about.

Visiting the Dentist and the Old Town in Panama City
One of the places always recommended by International Living for retirement in Panama. Since we were looking for someplace warm and relaxing, we decided to check it out. After our super busy time in Europe and the US, we just wanted to catch up on personal work and chill out.
La Cité, the Unique Walled City of Carcassonne
We have been looking forward to visiting Carcassonne, on our roving retirement journey, since we were in France in 2020. Both Diana and I had visited many years ago and we only remembered the climb up the hill, the “fairy tail” walls, and the cassoulet. This time we chose to stay inside the city walls of Carcassonne, to maximize our time in situ.
Roman Ruins in Town and Party on the Kitschy Beach
The next stop on our roving retirement Spain & Portugal tour was Tarragona, a bit southwest of Barcelona. After a little research, I found that Tarragona has Roman Ruins that are listed by UNESCO and I’m all over that. In addition, there is a small beach town a little south of Tarragona called Salou that we check out.
