This week, our Golden TWIG (This Week in Guadalajara) goes to the Underdogs of Día de Los Muertos🙏
Why? While Guadalajara & Tlaquepaque have offered their best shows between October 31 and November 2, the Fashion City of Zapotlanejo will exhibit the 2nd largest Catrina in the world until November 13, and Tonala will hosts its festivities from today till November 7th. Special THANKS to TWIG's member, Brian Arnzen, for bringing it to our attention!
