The Cry of Dolores

Mexico’s national holidays could not begin in a more spectacular way than with the famous “Grito de Dolores”. On September 15, at 11 pm, the entire country gathers to celebrate the beginning of the struggle for independence.

In every corner of Mexico, from vibrant Mexico City to small towns, church bells ring and people gather in public squares to hear the shout of “Viva Mexico!” from the president, governors and local leaders.

At Hostel Barrio, you can join in this exciting tradition, as we are just a few streets away from the historic Zocalo and National Palace, where the President of Mexico gives the shout of independence “Viva Mexico!”.

Flavors of Mexico: Traditional Food for the National Holidays

No celebration in Mexico is complete without its delicious traditional food. During the national holidays, the streets are filled with food stalls offering authentic Mexican traditional delicacies. From pozole to exquisite chiles en nogada, Mexican gastronomy is a true feast for the senses.

Don’t miss out on the traditional national holiday dishes, which also include tostadas, pambazos and tamales. Of course, all this is best enjoyed with some of Mexico’s most traditional drinks: tequila, mezcal and pulque.
