Día de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead) is a unique festive tradition highly celebrated in Mexico and Latin America that takes place every 1st and 2nd of November. This celebration includes gathering at cemeteries to enjoy traditional foods like pan de muerto (bread of the dead) and calaveras (sugar skulls), dressing up in eye-catching costumes, and cleaning the gravesites of their deceased loved ones and decorating with candles and marigolds that bring color to the festivities. 💐
Families also create makeshift altars (Ofrendas) at their homes and offer food, drinks, and everything else that the departed beloved enjoyed.
