He Day of the Dead is close, just less than a month before this great Mexican celebration arrives. As you know, In Mexico there are different places that celebrate it in a big way: making parades of catrines and catrinas, altars of the dead, plays and other amenities that honor the deceased saints. This date is quite special to undertake a little trip because it allows you to get to know a place from another perspective, getting closer to its culture and its own traditions.
San Andrés Mixquic
On the limits of Mexico City and the State of Mexico is San Andrés Mixquic. San Andrés Mixquic is famous for the “lighting”, a special Day of the Dead event. The cemetery is filled with candles and campasúchil flowers from October 31 until the adults leave at noon on November 2.

Pátzcuaro and Janitzio
It is well known that Michoacán is one of the great references in terms of celebrating the Day of the Dead. The streets of Pátzcuaro are illuminated with the fire of the candles and the characteristic yellow flowers. One of the must-sees is the “Dance of the Fishermen”, where the sacred duck is hunted with a spear and eaten so they watch over their dead in the cemeteries on the main days.
