    Mixquic

    We will walk through the streets to observe the altars installed in houses and squares. Each altar is unique: dead bread, sugar skulls, photographs, favorite drinks of the deceased and flowers representing the cycle of life and death. Mixquic, whose name comes from Nahuatl and means “in the mesquite”, is an original town located in the Tláhuac municipality, southeast of Mexico City. Its history dates back to pre-Hispanic times, and its cultural richness is especially reflected during November 1 and 2, when its streets, houses and especially its cemetery are transformed into a stage full of color, aroma and mysticism. What makes Mixquic unique is the way it combines solemnity with festivity. Here it is not just a parade or a tourist show: it is an entire town that honors its deceased with altars, cempasúchil flowers, candles, copal, music, gastronomy and rituals passed down through generations.
