Day Of The Dead (Mexico City)
The Día de los Muertos festival in Mexico City was borne out of the James Bond film "Spectre" in 2015, under a "pizza effect", and is one of the most representative celebrations in Mexico that arose from pre-Hispanic traditions and Catholic beliefs. Contrary to the deathly themes, it is actually a holiday of joyful celebration rather than mourning, which involves paying respects and remember friends and family members who have died.
