About this audio guide
This guide to the Calzada de los Frailes in Valladolid, Yucatan, follows the doomed nineteen ten uprising of Maximiliano Bonilla, whose hacienda laborers and Maya volunteers from the Sisal barrio seized the town for a matter of days. You will hear how federal troops answered, and how historians came to call this crushed revolt the first spark of the Mexican Revolution. Listen near the street's quiet far end, toward Sisal, where the rebels' route began that night.
