Hello everyone, mi name is Hellen Contreras and i want to tell you about the country i would like to visit: Mexico
I like the country because of its rich culture since it is a mixture of different cultures such as pre-Hispanic, Spanish (after the conquest), it also contains a bit of African culture due to the period of slavery. The most rooted in its history are the Olmec, Mayan, Zapotec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Mixtec among others
The country is known for its varied gastronomy and as a freak fact, only in Mexico are more than 60 varieties of corn recognized, with which different preparations are made. They are also recognized for their spicy food, which includes varieties of peppers, beans and spices. Some examples are tamales, chiles en nogada, barbecue, carnitas, pozole, etc. The mexican music stands out for including wind, string and percussion instruments. Among the best known genres are the rancheras, the corridos, the Sinaloa band and the mariachis, the latter are recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
Some traditions that are most recognized worldwide are: the day of the dead, which consists of placing an offering with photos of relatives and loved ones who have passed away. The representative elements of the offerings are the cempazúchitl flower, chopped paper, incense and food to the liking of the honorees, as well as sugar skulls with the names of the living.
Another tradition is the day of Kings and el Día de la Candelaria
On January 6 of each year, Mexican families gather to eat the Rosca de Reyes, made of sweet bread with caramelized fruits and inside it there is a plastic or ceramic doll. The thread is cut into several pieces and distributed among the attendees. The one who has taken out the doll in his portion, will be the one who invites the tamales on Candlemas Day. This one is celebrated every year on February 2 to celebrate the Virgen de la Candelaria. The traditional dishes of the festival are atole and tamales. The festival consists of the purification of the Virgin and dressing the child of God to bless him in the church. It is one of the most important traditions in Mexico.
I would like to visit this country because I find it very interesting and the reason why I would leave is to continue studies and do another training at the National School of Anthropology and History. Also more interested in its climate, its beaches, varied artists, in addition there it is easier to get hallucinogenic mushrooms and its field in scientific research on mental illness is more advanced
Anyway, I hope you liked it and I hope to visit it soon <3<3<3
