Where: Guadalajara and its surroundings.
Our FAVORITES are:
Catrina: The Fashion City of Zapotlanejo created the 2nd largest Catrina in the world, 18 meters (exhibited until November 13). 15 minutes drive from GDL. Article. YouTube video.
Altar: Calaverandia theme park. We wereamazed by the largest altar of the dead we have ever seen, 12 meters high and 7 fantastic levels full of art, mariachis and magic. ✨
City Decoration: Tlaquepaque. The El Refugio Cultural Center, the Pantaleón Panduro museum, Jardín Hidalgo and the Municipal Cemetery delivered pure beauty for the eyes.
Atypical Activity: Getting married in a symbolic way and be given a marriage certificate alluding to the Day of the Dead at The pavilion “Until death binds us” in Plaza de Armas, Guadalajara Centro Historico. ✨
Authenticity: The Mayan ceremony Hanal Pixan at beautiful Casa ITESO Clavigero (Colonia Americana). We loved that it was limited to 250 guests and included performances, ambiance and special meal.
Concert: Listening to the Requiem of Mozart by the Zapopan Municipal Choir at the cementary Belén Panteón Museum. It was just so special. ✨
Skulls: Ajijic. The inauguration of the skull wall #2 on Flores Magon, thanks to the man, the myth, the legend… Efren González.
Parade: What was your favorite parade this year?
Regrets: We missed exploring a Cempasúchil Field at Rancho San Juan Diego, just 45 minutes from GDL. ✨
Special tip: It was quite laborious navigating the 40+ events offered. TWIG Día de Los Muertos magical experience report made all its subscribers very happy🙂 Don't miss it in 2023.
Emotions you may encounter: Fascination. Nostalgia. Impatience to do it again next year!
