Where to celebrate "El Grito" in Mexico

First of all what is "El Grito": The Grito de Dolores is the call that Miguel Hidalgo made for the people of Mexico to rise up against the authorities of New Spain on September 16, 1810, in the town of Dolores, near Guanajuato, initiating Mexico's War of Independence.

The words of the Grito may vary, but they go something like this:

¡Vivan los heroes que nos dieron patria! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Hidalgo! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Morelos! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Allende! ¡Viva!

¡Vivan Aldama y Matamoros! ¡Viva!

¡Viva nuestra independencia! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!

¡Viva Mexico! ¡Viva!

Where to Celebrate "El Grito": If you are spending Mexican Independence Day in Mexico, and you enjoy being part of a large crowd, then you should make your way to the town plaza of whatever city you happen to be in by around 10 pm (or earlier to get a good spot) on September 15th to participate in the Grito.

Many restaurants, hotels and nightclubs offer special Noche Mexicana celebrations in Cabo San Lucas, among other events taking place that night. It's a fun night for partying out on the town.

Road Trip: California's legendary Highway 1

Still, there are a few great road trips that can inveigle almost anybody, a few that can instill a lifelong curiosity about what lies beyond the next hairpin turn. One of those road trips is the Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, which stretches from Mexico to the town of Leggett in northern California but is perhaps most captivating between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Highway 1 is the sort of road you see in car ads and movies, one that begs to be driven in a red convertible. It has stomach-dropping turns, wide, clean beaches, and cliffs that plunge to the frothing ocean. It cleaves to the edge of the continent in a way that no road on the more developed East Coast does. It also offers up acres of soft green farmland. No wonder this highway is one of America's unofficial pilgrimage routes—for beatniks, surfers, food groupies chasing the latest fresh taste sensation, and thrill-seekers of all sorts.

Get Married in Mexico.

If you've just set a date for your wedding, this can be an exciting time for the two of you! Don't let the marriage license laws of Mexico put a dent in your wedding plans.

Here's what you need to know and what documents to bring with you before you apply for a Mexico marriage license.

ID Requirements in Mexico: If you are not a resident of Mexico, you will be asked for a Tourist Card/Visa and a valid passport. The airlines will provide you with your tourist card if you are flying in. If you are driving, you will have to get one in Mexico.

Ceremony: A marriage in Mexico is legal only if it is a civil ceremony performed at a local Civil Register Office (Oficina del Registro Civil). You can have a religious ceremony later.

Previous Marriages: If you have been divorced, you need to wait a year before applying for a marriage license. You will also need a certified copy of your divorce decree or certified copy of death certificate of

Tests: A blood test for RPR, and HIV and Thorax (chest) X-rays are required in Mexico. It is recommended that these tests be done in Mexico two days prior to your wedding. Cost of the tests average $125 per person.

Witnesses: You need two to four witnesses over the age of 18. Your witnesses also need to provide identification. Some areas of Mexico may require that two of the witnesses be from your home country. The number of witnesses required depends on the location of your wedding.

Under 18: Parental consent is required if either of you is under 18.

Fees in Mexico: It will cost you approximately $200 (US Funds) to get married in Mexico.

Same Sex Marriages: Two areas of Mexico, the state of Coahuila and Mexico City, have civil union laws that give same-sex couples many of the social and legal benefits of heterosexual marriage in Mexico.

With all these in mind and having everything planned; you just have to relax and enjoy this beautiful moment with your couple and that we want at TransVip. So contact us and lets us take care of everything related to ground transportation of you, friends and family.
