Popular art and cooking

The crafts testify of the extraordinary creativity and the cheerfulness of the Mexicans. Very skillful, Indians master the pottery, the weaving, the embroidery, the silversmith's trade, the work of the wood and the ceramic. Rare are buildings in grey and women dressed in black, because the warm colors meet themselves on the clothing dresses and on the walls. The cooking is also colored with rustic flats on base of corn, vegetables and meats, raised from spied on sauces. A good Mexican day cannot start without devouring tacos, tamales, chilaquiles and the other huevos at the mexicana. In the evening, a good beer of the country or an alcohol on base of cactus (tequila, mezcal), is always appreciated.

Music and holidays

marimbas, Palenque In Mexico, one hear musicians at any time in the street, on places or in transport. The most typical are the groups of marimbas (xylophones) and the formings of mariachis (violinists, trumpeter, guitarists and singers, disguised as cowboy). Every day, some part in Mexico, we celebrate a holy or the other thing. The rave-up is especially local but some are national as those celebrating the independence, the virgin Guadalupe and the All Souls' Day. For this last one, the popular faith wants that the deaths return to the All Saints' Day, among the alive, to accept offerings and find the heat of the close relations. In this peaceful and joyful holiday, heads of death in sugar are eaten by the children. Indepedence day Mérida
