On the sidewalk of one of the most popular sectors in the center of Mexico City – the market of La Lagunilla, open every Sunday without exception -, I found a small magazine on whose cover that fucked up over the years, illustrated Pique, the mascot of the World Cup Mexico 86, a green chile with a big charro hat, cheerful mustache and a soccer ball on his right foot.

This week, we recommend a film exhibition, a festival of art and technology, and two incredible exhibitions to experience Mexico City as a local.

Knowing Mexico City could become an endless experience, because its diversity, cultural offerings, and architectural sites make it an exciting capital with endless attractions. There are several ways to get to know a city, at The Local Way we want to share one of the most wonderful, to know it through its museums.

Get ready for this week and prepare your most comfortable shoes, we have 3 cultural activities to discover Mexico City

On November 1st and 2nd Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead. During these days, the cemeteries are adorned with flowers and candles, besides at Mexican homes offerings are placed to receive the loved ones…

One of our favorite times of the year in Mexico is when markets and tianguis begin to dress bright orange for the cempasúchil flower, bakeries make the traditional pan de muerto (bread of dead), Mexican families place an offering in honor of those who are no longer here, and burlesque verses are written to speak of La Calaca (referring to death).

It is one of the most expected festivals of the year and one of the most important in Mexico and Latin America, being the first to bring several bands from North America and Europe that had never been in Mexico, as well as presenting the most outstanding alternative international offer.
