bournemouth Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 If you have time, go and look at the plaza tonight. It is lovely with Catrinas made by local schools, altars set up by local families and the Delegacion plus carpets made of colored wood chips and sponsored by local businesses. The kiosko is a particularly wonderful altar. Very special and not to be missed. A couple of altars are still being worked on so you can see the effort that goes in to making them.

Bisbee Gal Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 The Cultural Center in Ajijic held classes in October teaching various artforms used in the construction of Dias de Los Muertos altars (straw-dust carpets, papel picado, etc.) and it really paid off. The number of altars and the quality and energy of those making them yesterday at the plaza were extraordinary and fun, as were the catrinas on display. We also went early and watched as some were being constructed by families and many young people. Thanks to Hector and others who helped make this possible. It was far better than previous years.
