Organized by CANIRAC, the Los Cabos restaurant association, a parade of Catrinas and Catrines left from the Cultural Pavillion yesterday afternoon causing great excitement among onlookers. Catrinas and Catrines are the figures most associated with the Day of the Dead, being one of the icons with which Mexico is known for abroad. They are characters created by the Mexican painter, illustrator and cartoonist from Aguascalientes, José Guadalupe Posada. Today the figure of “La Catrina” is the most representative image of the Day of the Dead and Mexico. Nowadays it is one of the most used costumes and make-up. It stopped from being a drawing on paper to become an important element of our Mexican culture totally.
