The place changes

What sets this fair apart is the depth of its history: its roots trace to 1572, when All Saints celebrations, Dia de Todos los Santos, in Colima blended Catholic commemoration of deceased saints with prehispanic ritual practices, giving the fair a layered cultural identity that predates most modern Mexican regional fairs by centuries

The mystery stays covered
