The most curious rituals that surprise both locals and foreigners.
Mexico is one of the very few countries in the world that can boast a cultural diversity as vast as it is unique. Traveling through it, you will discover that changing regions is something similar to changing countries, because, although they are all Mexican, each people has unique traditions and customs that surprise both locals and foreigners. If you don't think so, just look at the entire cultural heritage of this country.
In its beginnings, pre-Hispanic peoples such as the Aztecs, Mayans and Olmecs shared and exchanged ancestral wisdom. Later, after the arrival of the Spaniards and the mestizaje, the Mexican culture was slowly transformed into what is now known as heritage. In it, in addition to the peoples already mentioned, other nations that have influenced the being of Mexico can also be highlighted, for example: the United States, France, Germany, etc.
Therefore, being a multicultural country; it is not surprising that all these nuances transcend among the peoples and have been mixed with each other. So much so, that to define what Mexican culture is would be an almost impossible action. However, what you can do is share the 3 most deeply rooted traditions among Mexicans.
1. A second national anthem.
This is a dangerous statement to make, since Mexicans respect their national anthems immeasurably, but the truth is that this song has been so well received that it can only be compared to the national anthem itself.
Those of you who are sports fans will surely have heard all Mexicans at home singing at full speed the most famous song by Quirino Mendoza y Cortes. Cielito Lindo has become so popular that almost all national singers have a cover and even foreigners have made new versions like dj Hardwell, who made a remix of the song in 2017.
2. The day of the dead.
This may be the best known Mexican tradition worldwide, especially after films like Coco that portray this worldview with great accuracy. In fact, the Day of the Dead in Mexico is something that would be a matter of course, since each region has different ways of celebrating it. However, they all follow the same principle: to show their respect for those family members and friends who have gone ahead on the journey of life.
Among flowers, candles, tamales and alcohol, the Day of the Dead is an experience not to be missed if you travel during the first days of November.
3. Tequila tasting.
Tequila is more than a tradition, it's tradition itself. If there is one thing that all Mexicans agree on is that this ancient drink has great powers like that of uniting the family. Not only at social events, but at all times. Both in the joys and in the sorrows, Tequila Jose Cuervo®, is always present. And beyond the obvious, the tequila culture is also full of history. From the mystical conception of the drink's origin to how experts instruct their children to always enjoy a good Tequila Jose Cuervo®.
In short, tequila is synonymous with family.
As you may have read, Mexico is a unique destination not only because of the beauty of its lands, but also because of its history and its people. Needless to say, spending a few days discovering all the Mexican traditions will be an unforgettable experience. So, if you really want to do it, let Mundo Cuervo® give you some advice.
