With Adrian Hernandez Alejandri, mayor of Dolores Hidalgo CIN, the tourism sector and citizens, Alvarez Brunel stressed that Dolores makes the hearts of all Mexicans vibrate, as the emancipation movement of Mexico and its representative Grito de Dolores ¡Viva Mexico!, was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Dolores Hidalgo CIN is “a great reference in Mexico for its ice cream, its ceramics, and for being the birthplace of one of the greatest representatives of ranchera music in Mexico: Jose Alfredo Jimenez,” said the Secretary of Tourism.
