Corralejo Ex Hacienda

Former hacienda founded in 1565, remembered as the birthplace of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

Corralejo Ex Hacienda gives Pénjamo its strongest national story. The hacienda was founded in the 16th century, and Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was born here in 1753 while his father worked as an administrator on the estate.

Today the old hacienda buildings, monument, and tequila associations make it more than a plaque stop. It is the place to go if Pénjamo's connection to Mexican Independence is what brought you here.
