BEWARE OF PHOTO SPAM!
Even though my family never celebrated this holiday, I could say it is one of the few things I do like about the place where I live.
I do know there's a difference between my beloved Halloween and tha day of the dead but since it comes right after halloween, I kinda like to put them together and celebrate it as one long holiday (does it make any sense?)
My friends and I had a little tour downtown to enjoy some of the Day of the Dead decorations, small fairs and the anual Alfeñiques fair. (I just found out Alfeñique is the art of creating figures from sugar~ Always learning something new! hehe)
I remember visiting this fair since I was a little girl wih my grandpa, and getting some traditional candies there. I was meaning to take some photos there but it was crazy crowded! It was almost impossible to walk around the place.
This fair is pretty famous here and people from many places comes to visit it, somehow I think is really pretty and colorful. What I mostly buy are chocolate skulls but there are TONS of sweets and other goodies, all related to death in a cute o funny way.

| Can you tell the first one had a bad surgery after being crushed inside my friend's purse? LOL |
They also had street plays, altar expositions and a small bazaar with some death related arts and crafts.
We never put altars at home, but I always have lots of fun helping with the one we put at school. Sadly this year I could be part of the making due to my dental surgery but I did helped with the cute and flirty skull at the right of the altar. My fellow teachers did an amazing job! Congrats sweets!
How do you guys celebrate the Day of the Dead?
