Mexican actor Aarón Díaz has shared a heartfelt homecoming moment with his Instagram followers, posting photos of his return to San Miguel de Allende, the city where he grew up. The actor, known for his work in television and film, posted images of a family visit to the iconic restaurant “El Pegaso” during what appears to be a meaningful return to his roots.
Homecoming To San Miguel
In his recent Instagram post, Díaz wrote in Spanish: “Siempre es lindo regresar a San Miguel de Allende, el lugar que me vio crecer. Siempre siempre la primer parada será en el iconico ‘El Pegaso’ desde 1982. En familia, que más puedo pedir.” (It’s always beautiful to return to San Miguel de Allende, the place that watched me grow up. Always, always the first stop will be the iconic ‘El Pegaso’ since 1982. With family, what more can I ask for.)
The carousel of images shows Díaz enjoying time at El Pegaso restaurant, a establishment that has been operating since 1982 according to his caption. The photos capture the actor in relaxed moments with what appears to be family members, enjoying the warm atmosphere of the restaurant that clearly holds special significance for him.
Deep Roots In San Miguel
For those unfamiliar with Díaz’s background, the actor was born in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but spent his formative years in San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city known for its preserved Baroque Spanish architecture, thriving arts scene, and cultural significance. The UNESCO World Heritage site has clearly left a lasting impression on the actor, who continues to return to his childhood home despite his international career.
According to his Wikipedia profile, Díaz was born on March 7, 1982, and after growing up in San Miguel de Allende, he went on to study acting at the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) in Mexico City. His career has included prominent roles in telenovelas like “Teresa,” “El Talismán,” and “Tierra de Reyes,” as well as appearances in American television productions.
Polo Passion And Family Time
Díaz’s return to San Miguel de Allende comes amid what appears to be a busy period for the actor. His recent Instagram activity shows he’s been developing a passion for polo, a sport he began playing just months ago according to earlier posts. In fact, just days before his El Pegaso visit, he shared photos from polo matches in San Miguel, writing: “Fin de semana familia, amigos, Polo…esto y mucho más desde el mágico San Miguel de Allende.”
The actor even had the opportunity to train with polo legend Adolfo Cambiaso, posting: “Hace unos días tuve el grandísimo placer y honor de convivir y entrenar con el más grande de toda la historia en el Polo @adolfocambiaso1… Como si fuera poco, también pude pasar tiempo con estos Chingonazos @diegotecavanagh, @mattcoppola y Ale Poma.”
Film Success And Awards
Beyond his sporting interests, Díaz has been celebrating professional success as well. Just prior to his San Miguel visit, he shared news about winning the Audience Award at the Miami Film Festival for “Espina,” a film he was involved with. The post, written by a colleague and reshared by Díaz, celebrated: “Audiences laughed, cried, gasped, and loved this p*nche film! Thank you @miamifilm for the Audience Award. Hoping to break some barriers with our movie. Audiences want more disability representation on screen!”
In his own post about the film’s success, Díaz wrote: “Esta semana nuestro amado film ‘Espina’ vio la luz por primera vez ante audiencias de los festivales de cine de Miami y Panamá. Los espectadores rieron, lloraron y disfrutaron cada momento.” (This week our beloved film ‘Espina’ saw the light for the first time before audiences at the Miami and Panama film festivals. Viewers laughed, cried and enjoyed every moment.)
Balancing Career And Family Values
Despite his busy professional schedule, Díaz consistently emphasizes the importance of family in his posts. In another recent Instagram update, he shared a media article about his family, commenting: “Linda sorpresa esta nota, gracias Eloísa Carmona por ponerle el enfoque a la familia. Gracias por expandir este mensaje sobre la importancia de que las familias sean unidas, algo que constantemente promovemos.” (Beautiful surprise this note, thank you Eloísa Carmona for putting the focus on family. Thank you for expanding this message about the importance of families being united, something we constantly promote.)
This focus on family values appears to be a consistent theme for the actor, who recently appeared in a Telemundo segment with a colleague, described as “10 Random Questions” in a post from his media appearances.
The return to San Miguel de Allende and the visit to El Pegaso restaurant seems to represent more than just a casual stop for Díaz – it’s a reconnection with his origins and values, shared with the family he clearly cherishes, in the city that shaped his early years.
