Food Diversity is the essential characteristic of Mexican cuisine. Almost every Mexican

state has its own recipes and culinary traditions. Of course this diversity is more noticeable when seen regionally and rich cuisine by state. There are certainculinary creations that emerged locally for its quality and widespreadacceptance have become emblematic of Mexican cuisine in general. This is thecase of dishes such as cochinita pibil (Yucatan), the Oaxacan mole, mole poblano, pozole (identified with Sinaloa, Jalisco and Guerrero), goat (Coahuila and neoleonense), dogfish hearty bread, the Churipu and corundas Purepecha(Michoacan), the diminutive of Sinaloa, Sonora and Chihuahua and many otherfoods, in a long list of honor of Mexican cuisine. While some excel, indeed, for itswell-earned reputation and dissemination, these regional food traditions are ranked according to priority only in terms of personal taste.

Traditions

Traditions and festivals

Since pre-Columbian times, religious festivities have been a fundamental part of Mexican

life. Catholicism found here a fertile land and an interesting syncretism, sometimes

impossible to understand, became the quintessential Mexican identity.

You will be surprised to find, close to the dates of carnival, very conservative people

dancing to ask favors from the gods prehispanic hidden behind Catholic saints. If you want

to explore this kind of mystical traditions, Tlaxcala and Tepoztlan are essential destinations

on your visit to Mexico. Looking for something more liberal? Chiapa de Corzo holds a

parade where men dressed as women (chuntas) make their prejudices aside and laugh at

themselves ... but only for a day, do not forget, the provincial Mexico retains after all very

conservative in nature.

Typical dances

Mexican traditional dances have different origins. There are still pre-Hispanic dances as the New Fire Dance, The Dance of the Deer and TheFeather Dance, which became to be a representation of the conquest of Mexico. Some were imported from Europe, such as the polka bicycle and Dance Ribbons. Other originated by rebellion against the conquerors, as TheDance of Knives and Los Chinelos. La Bamba, one of the most popular, has Spanish and African influences.
