Leaving aside the ones that it had in the old times, "de Madrid al cielo" is my favourite because it's active and a very lively sentiment that almost even Madrileño shares.
I've seen it graffitied in many places.
I have no idea where it comes from, though.

New

Los Angeles
Angeltown[47]
The Big Orange[8]
City of Angels[8][48] - based partially on the literal translation of the city's full name from the Spanish language
City of Flowers and Sunshine[16]
La-La Land[8]
Shaky Town[49]
Tinseltown[50] (specifically applies to Hollywood[8])

Dolores comes from Our Lady of Sorrows (Latin: Mater Dolorosa).
Hidalgo is the name of a national hero.
