Two Ways to Experience the Christmas Family in Mexico
Among
the places to live the nativity in Mexico, we suggest two outstanding venues in
Michoacán.
 |
| Artisan Nativity in Pátzcuaro at Vasco de Quiroga Square |
In Pátzcuaro, the breathtaking
installation in the Vasco de Quiroga Square is one of the most spectacular in Mexico. And this year, Morelia, the capital of Michoacán, also hosts its own Artisan Nativity in the Plaza de Armas.

great experience that will allow you to live the emotions and excitement of

Pátzcuaro is a charming place to experience Mexican Christmas traditions and
customs: posadas, Christmas carols,
colorful piñatas, and of course the ubiquitous poinsettias. And this year, the Vasco de Quiroga Square is framed by
exquisite lighting.

In Morelia, you can also live the customs
and traditions of the Christmas
season, where you can find a series of cultural events that complement the
experience with the Christmas Festival
of Music, with concerts in
emblematic venues such as the Temple of las Rosas, the Santuario de Guadalupe,
la Cerrada de San Agustín, the Templo del Carmen, and the lovely Cathedral of
Morelia.

So there
you have it! Two great options for this Christmas season:
Pátzcuaro:
Installations
of fifty-four larger-than-life figures (some measuring more than five meters
tall) using material of about 180 Michoacán artisans (textiles, woodwork, and
various fibers), representing the seven touristic destinations in
Michoacán. What’s more, there about 750 piñatas adorning streets leading
to the Vasco de Quiroga Square.

Morelia:
The pieces in the Plaza de Armas – next to the cathedral of Morelia – were made
in the town of Capula not far away. Forty Capula families participated in
the installation, creating a total of 7,000 pieces of clay, with 70 major
figures designed and created to make up this original nativity.
