Morelos hotels - About Morelos
Morelos is one of the 31 constituent states of Mexico. Morelos has an area of about 4,941 square kilometers (1,907.7 sq mi), making it the second-smallest of the country's states. Morelos is bordered by Mexico State to the north-east and north-west, the Federal District to the north, Puebla to the east, and Guerrero to the south-west. In the 2007 census, the population of the state was 1,612,899 people.
The capital of Morelos is the city of Cuernavaca. Morelos also contains the cities of Cuautla, Jiutepec, and Temixco, and the pre-Columbian ruins of Xochicalco.
Morelos was named after José María Morelos, one of the leaders of the Mexican War of Independence.
Morelos has always had great revolutionary activity, and numerous guerrillas have made their homes and struggled for justice in the region. Most notably, the small farming hamlet of Anenecuilco in Morelos[clarification needed] was the home town of Emiliano Zapata; the state was the center of Zapata's Mexican Revolution campaign, and a small city in the Morelos is named after him.
Morelos was traditionally a Nahuatl-speaking territory, and variants of the language are still spoken today in towns such as Hueyapan and Cuentepec,[clarification needed] as well as Tetelcingo, where a highly distinctive dialect is used.
Morelos is subdivided into 33 municipios (municipalities).
Aside from the state capital of Cuernavaca, nicknamed La Ciudad de la Eterna Primavera (The City of Eternal Spring), other major communities include:
