When we were thinking about the dreams we wanted to realize during our round-the-world trip, living the “Dias de Muertos” in Mexico was an obvious choice for me.<\/p>\n

\"Dias<\/p>\n

Some cultural festivals are so important to a country that you want to experience them to better understand them. Such is the case of Holi in India, the festival of colors, or Carnival in Rio. The Festival of the Dead was the one I most wanted to discover. <\/p>\n

When and how is the Day of the Dead celebrated?<\/h2>\n

Throughout Mexico, Dias de los Muertos are traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2<\/strong>. However, don’t hesitate to ask, as depending on the city, there may also be celebrations and parades organized as early as October 28 or 29. <\/p>\n

If during the day we like to stroll around the town, have our make-up done and take photos of the most beautiful costumes, it’s especially in the evening that the “party” takes on its full meaning. At the end of each day, various neighborhood parades are organized, and everyone takes pleasure in following the procession in good spirits. <\/p>\n

Then, at night, we go to the cemeteries and their surroundings to take the pulse and be moved.<\/p>\n
