For Mexicans, the Day of the Dead is a joyful celebration, where they remember family members who passed away. It is a celebration of their life and what they enjoyed: food, music, and family reunions! Most of you have probably heard of this celebration. But, perhaps you’d also like to know where to experience the most authentic celebrations on your next trip to Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have all fallen in love with the Pixar movie Coco (seriously, if you haven\u2019t seen it, it\u2019s about time!) but seeing all those colourful celebrations is a reality when you visit Mexico in November. Add the real-life flavours, sounds, and smells, and you will understand why this festivity is a Mexican favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, for those wanting something different, we have a few suggestions for you to check out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are in Mexico City, this is the place to be. Located in the southeast part of the city, in Mixquic you will encounter the surreal world of the dead, which blends with the living world in the candlelit cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Extra Tip: You can see the massive offerings displayed on the National University campus (UNAM) and enjoy the Day of the Dead\u2019s parade in Paseo de la Reforma.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDay of the Dead: what you need to know! <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
