What is pipila historia?

Pipila Historia refers to the history of the Mexican rebel leader, Juan José de los Reyes Martínez Amaro, who was known as "El Pipila." He is best known for his heroism during the Mexican War of Independence, specifically his role in the Siege of Guanajuato.

Legend has it that Pipila helped the Mexican rebels break through the Spanish barricades by tying a large flat stone to his back to protect himself from the Spanish bullets. He then set fire to the Spanish door, allowing the rebels to storm into the city and take over. The event is commemorated in a monument called "El Pipila" in Guanajuato.
