The El Día de los Muertos (Day of The Dead) Festival in Mexico is celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November each year. On these dates people remember their loved ones who have passed away. Sound a bit morbid? Well it’s not at all. Tombstones are decorated with yellow flowers, candles and photos. A special kind of bread called “Pan de Muertos” is baked on this day also and children eat “sugar skull” sweets.
