We left San Miguel de Allende around 3:00 pm on Wednesday and headed to Dolores Hidalgo (full name: Dolores Hidalgo Cuna de la Independencia Nacional, or Dolores Hidalgo Cradle of National Independence). This is where Miguel Hidalgo uttered his famous cry for independence of Mexico (Grito de Hidalgo).
