Go SMA — San Miguel de Allende: top destinations near you, sorted by distance, with point-to-point urbanos bus directions

Go SMA maps San Miguel de Allende's top destinations and sorts them by distance from you, so at a glance you can see what's nearby — a church, a mercado, a mirador — and often just walk there. When it's farther, it tells you how to get there with point-to-point directions on the local urbanos city buses. It's the only guide that maps the urbanos routes stop by stop: which bus to take, where to catch it, and where to get off.
