Día de Muertos — Mexican Day of the Dead

Why did the skull become the national totem of Mexico? Is it good if we get a sugar skull with our own name on the Feast of the Dead? How to make the deceased come to us as a guest? What do the Mesziki, the Spaniards have to do with the celebration of Día de Muertos, and what does James Bond have in common? We invite you to celebrate together the Mexican Day of the Dead, which we will try to explain and tame. We will travel to Mexican cities, towns and villages to talk to Mexicans and understand what death is and was for them.
