EP.20 其實自己一個更開心？

La mayoría de mi familia vive en la provincia de Barcelona pero ubicada a unos 20 kms. al oeste de la zona de Montserrat dónde me crié.  Algunas veces, de pequeño, cuando iba en el asiento trasero del coche de mis padres, camino de casa de mis tíos y mis primos, por la ventana veía un edificio muy alto y con unas formas diferentes al resto como no había visto nunca antes. Ese edificio era y es un castillo ¡Sí!

El Día de Muertos es una celebración internacionalmente conocida que tiene lugar en México. En el episodio de hoy tengo a Diego y a Efraín de Mextalki para que nos cuenten más sobre esta fiesta. 

En esta primera parte hablamos del origen del Día de Muertos, su significado, la relación de los mexicanos con la muerte, las ofrendas y los altares entre otras tradiciones.

Podéis encontrar a Diego y a Efraín en todas las plataformas con el nombre de Mextalki.
