![]() "Oaxaca invites you to participate in one of its most important festivities - El Dia de los Muertos." During this time, the City of Oaxaca and all the surrounding villages come alive with a special beauty of flowers, food, creativity, and folklore.
In preparation for this day, the last days
of October are spent preparing special loaves of sweet bread ("pan de muerto"),
and desserts; harvesting special flowers, including marigolds; creating altars
in the home; and decorating grave sites. Decorations in the form of macabre
but whimsical skeletons and candy skulls abound.
