The Experience
Walking at night among 19th-century tombs and mausoleums, in the cemetery where the opening chapter of the Guanajuato mummies was written, is another way to understand the city: here the Day of the Dead tradition is not decoration, it is local history. A seasonal visit, from October 29 to November 2, with free admission.
