Resumo:
Two important figures in traditional events in Mexico are the catrina and the holy death that attract both domestic and foreign tourists. Although it seems funereal; Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead with great enthusiasm, with offerings and promises. The occasion is used for a part of the Mexican population to become catrines; the same happens with Santa Muerte; a figure born in a decade and that has attracted the feeling of many Mexicans, as a relic of healing and its believing population is increasing every time. The objective of this research is to provide information on the traditions that have left and are leaving traces in our country; as well as the tourism that has been generated from two perspectives, first by the curiosity to know in Mexico, our colors, flavors and dedication to these characters and, second by conviction, religious beliefs that in generations have been instilled in the Mexican society of marked social strata. Foreign tourism came to these events out of curiosity and to feel the passion of the Mexican; They are unmemorable dates that exclusive meals are prepared for those days, they dress up, remember their dead, dance and listen to songs and set up altars with traditional flowers; art in its splendor.
