Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico
30 min. N of San Miguel de Allende. Mexico’s independence from Spain was fought out here in Dolores Hidalgo in1810. Today the town is known for its ice cream and beautiful handmade talavera pottery. Ice cream vendors have carts at the four corners of the central square, and the flavors are unusual—shrimp, tequila, mole, avocado. The town is also known for great carnitas. It is one of the premier places in Mexico to buy Talavera pottery at a fraction of the prices in the United States or even nearby San Miguel. Artists are seen at work painting in shops. |

Dolores Hidalgo is a wonderful stop between Guanajuato and San Miguel. Be sure to enjoy the museum of the revolution.
