The charming town of Tequila is the best place to celebrate Mexican national parties. This tiny spot in Jalisco is renowned for its authentic colonial ambiance. It has gorgeous sceneries like the iconic main square with a beautiful kiosk, surrounded by colorful buildings, “El Templo de la Purisima” (Temple of our purest lady) and the Santiago Apóstol church.
Historically speaking, a church like that served as the scene for the Cry of Independence, the event in which the brave priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, declared the war against the Spanish dominance on the night of September 16th, 1810.
Now then, come along and discover why celebrating the Independence celebration in Tequila will grant you an evening full of joy.
