 This street also gives us the modest house where Juan José de los Reyes Martínez and Amaro, “El Pipila,” was born.
The celebrated “Pipila” fought alongside Hidalgo in the War of Independence in 1810. With a stone slab on his head to protect himself from Spanish fire and a torch in hand, he advanced on the door of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas in Guanajuato and lit it ablaze, giving the rebels the momentum they needed to crush the royalist resistance. |
