These cultures viewed death as a natural part of life and celebrated it with rituals to honor the deceased. When the Spanish arrived in the 16th century\, they merged these traditions with Catholic practices\, such as All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day\, creating the unique blend we see today. The iconic catrina\, created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century\, has since become a universal symbol of the celebration. \nAdditional information:\n\nAdmission: Most activities are free\, though some special events may require tickets.\nRecommendations: Wear comfortable clothing\, bring a camera to capture the vibrant colors and details\, and respect local traditions.
