Dolores Hidalgo Attractions

The little town of Dolores Hidalgo (1990 m (6531 ft); population 41,000) lies about 28km/17mi north-west of Atotonilco. With Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's "Cry of Dolores" ("Grito de Dolores") from the parish church early on the morning of September 16th 1810, after the conspiracy was threatened with discovery, Mexico's War of Independence began.
