Dia de Muertos

El Día de Muertos


November 2 is 'The Day of the Dead' in Mexico. It is a national holiday that focuses on remembering family and friends that have passed away and is celebrated on November 1 and 2. It should not be confused with halloween which is also celebrated just days earlier.







Tradición Mexicana



We spent the evening visiting many traditional altars of death. We were just a few of the hundreds of people that gathered at 'la calzada' which is a wide stone walkway that is lined by trees on both sides near city centre.
