San Diego neighborhood.

This neighborhood was initially known as El Molino or Hospital del Cubito.

It was founded by a group of Zapotecs in 1538.

The inhabitants asked for a church for the neighborhood but this was granted a century later, in 1638, when a Zapotec Indian named Sebastián Martínez and his family donated Cerro del Gato so that a temple dedicated to San Diego could be erected.

The temple is dedicated to San Diego de Alcalá. In colonial times it functioned as a small hospital administered by the “dieguinos” brothers and which disappeared more than a century ago.

A municipal air port was located in this neighborhood, which operated serving commerce, passengers and tourism for almost 50 years.

Of the traditional activities such as muleteering (which has gradually disappeared), laundry, bakery, extraordinary quality cooking and handicrafts still remain.
 

Traditions:

The neighborhood begins its party with a visit to the San Antonio neighborhood, coming from the neighborhood of the same name, who comes on a pilgrimage on November 13, to reciprocate and return the visit that San Diego makes to the temple of said neighborhood in June. For these festivities, the saint's clothes are changed on a previous Sunday and this is known as "La tradicional Mudada".
It is common to observe that the colors in which the temples of these neighborhoods are painted change depending on the colors of the saints' clothing. In this case blue and white. When the ceremony for the visit of San Antonio ends, it is customary to distribute to the audience little white bread donuts strung on laurel branches.
