Out & About: 💀 Alfeñique 2023

I don't really post about many local events and stuff but this one is one of the few I really enjoy. The Alfeñique Fair (Feria de Alfeñique) is a traditional fair held every year In the city center. It usually starts at the beginning of October and ends after the day of the dead. (November 19th this year)

In this fair you can find a big variety of seasonal candy, alfeñique candy figures and other day of the dead arts and crafts. 

This fair is big tho, many people from different places come to see it. It's alwasy suuuuuper crowded. But I get it, everything is so colorful and fun. 

I remember going to this fair when I was a little girl. Grandpa used to take me and my sister every year to buy some candy, then my dad and now, I like to go with my friends at least once.

This year we found they had different types of cultural activities, especially for kids. 

I'm gonna share some of the pics we took this year (I'm including the ones my friends took too) for you to see the things you can find there.

You can find a big variety of candy here. From the traditional chocolate skulls, wafers and dulce de leche.

Sugar skulls are also very common.

We saw many skulls and skeletons dressed as different things. I'm not a big fan but, some of them are cool and very popular.

I always wondered why thet sell sheep...

There are many non-edible figures people like to buy for their altars or just to have as decoration.

I loved these animal cookies, they were really cute.

We also found marigold candles this year. Some of them smelled really nice.

I love it when they have animal stuff

Sometimes you can also fins a couple of Halloween related stuff. This year they had a lot of Nightmare before Christmas goodies.

Those are just a couple of things you can find there. I feel like I didn't even show half of what they have. We spent hours walking around and deciding what to get. I like it because you can always find tourists and children and adults wearing costumes. It's a very friendly environment.

You can also find many photo spots with mexican Catrines and Catrinas.

There's a smaller Alfeñique fair closer to my house. It's not as crowded and a little cheaper because it's not as popular. But, I defo think going to the original one is the best option to have the whole experience, hehe.

I'm gonna finish this post with this super cute pink sugar cat skull my friend gave me. You know, I love my kitties.

And well, I hope you guys enjoyed this post with a big photo spam. Let me know if you'd like me to share mos posts like this one.
