I did this another way recently. We flew into Leon and based in Guanajuato with a day trip to San Miguel. Others can tell you more about San Miguel itself, I would take a day trip to Guanajuato, seeing both towns really added to our experience. Taking Primera Plus from the bus station made this easy and comfortable to do.

On a first class bus it took about an hour and forty minutes to Guanajuato. I saw lots of Talevera in both Guanajuato and San Miguel. I think the primary place for Talavera is Dolores Hildago, we went there as well, and there was lots. It is about a 35 minute bus ride from San Miguel. As to the above post, I think Puebla is the place Talevera originally was done in Mex. I have done a lot of shopping for it there to me is is different stylisticly and I can see more of a Spnish influence. The work where you are going is very nice with lots of variety and various influences- imho anyway.. have fun

Yes, I should have said this: True, certified talavera pottery is produced only in Puebla. However, high-quality, modern Talavera pottery is also available from factories in other Mexican districts such as Dolores Hidalgo and Guanajuato.
The fabricas in Puebla go through a certification process to ensure Talavera's uniform quality, distinctive style and excellence. These certified fabricas place their name and registry number on each piece they produce.
