Ruta 2010
You may have noticed the Ruta 2010 signs that have sprung up along Highway 15 in Sonora. Well, 2010 marks the year that Mexico will celebrate the Bicentennial of its independence from Spain (1810), and also the centennial anniversary of the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
These special anniversaries will consist of many celebrations of the key military figures involved and the routes they traveled during their campaigns. The government is encouraging reflection on what these important historical events mean to the citizens of Mexico today.
Citizens and visitors are encouraged to tour the six routes that are being highlighted to learn more about each historical event. Many festivals and cultural events are being planned to make sure that 2010 is celebrated with great fanfare.
