Day of the Dead in San Miguel de Allende
How is Day of the Dead celebrated in one of Mexico's most popular cities among expats? Does it still feel authentic? I went to celebrate the sacred holiday of Día de Muertos in one of the most beautiful towns in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende.
You may know that San Miguel de Allende is just an hour or so from my city of Querétaro. I knew that there was going to be a big celebration for Day of the Dead so I decided to come and enjoy the day and show you guys what it's really like.
San Miguel de Allende is one of the most popular destinations among people who want to move to Mexico or retire in Mexico. As a result, it has a significant expat population. I wanted to see how this special day is celebrated in this unique city.

My deepest condolences to you Bella 🥺🥺
Thank you for sharing sister..it's very rich and wholesome..much love
Both your video scenes ... and your commentary... have exceeded my expectations. You have treated this topic in a thoughtful and respectful way which I needed to hear.
I love it a good one my beautiful friend
This is such a family-oriented video about the interconnectedness and making people think about how everyone has connections to people who died. Thanks for the video and the great explanation about the history of La Catrina.
Im from San Miguel, the traditional practices are actually declining given how the majority of the people who made San Miguel for what it is today and their traditions are being kicked out of San Miguel to make room for rich people. Theres still a few who continue the traditional practices but its not really the same anymore.😓 Love your video by the way and your narration! Awesome! ❤😊
linda video!!! muchas gracias Karencita!
Thank you for this video... brings back memories of San Miguel de Allende from the 90s when we were there. Also went to Pátzcuaro and Janitzio, so hope you visit there as well! Take care!
Great video! Thank you for going to SMA, my adopted city
Your videos keep getting better and better. I love your make-up.
Otro hermoso video de Karencita , hermosa vibra .!!
I am loving your videos. You’re so adorable. Don’t worry I’m not flirting I’m a 70-year-old woman :-). I’ve been living in queretaro for a year and a half but my studying of Spanish is going way too slow. Do you teach Spanish to individuals? If so, please contact me

Best regards, Robin: I would like to say something about the origin of the icon of the Mexican Day of the Dead: "La Catrina" by the famous Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. The image of a female skeleton is dressed in European outfit from his upper class time. She is offered as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the Mexican pre-revolutionary era. So "La Catrina" has become an icon of this Mexican Day of the Dead. I invite you to know more about this author. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pox_rrpsgbSdqc4.html

I'm so glad to finally learn the history of the skeleton characters. And it is from a sentiment I really agree with. Thank you!

San Miguel de Allende will be one of our next stops when we go back hopefully next spring. Love all the colors of Dia de Los Muertos too! For those flying into Mexico, Queretero airport was such a breeze to get thru.
Thank you
Loved it Karen! Now we are on our way to see you! See you in 2.0 minutes! Lol
You looked beautiful with your face painted. I live in San Antonio Texas. The last time I went to the River Walk to celebrate Dia de los Muertos was in the mid nineties. I payed twenty dollars to have my face painted. I hope you payed less. Well it was worth it because I had fun. I love your outlook on life. I feel the same way. Thank you Karen.

very good video. i wonder what dia de los muertos is like in querataro.
Thanks!!
Nice video Beautiful ❤️
I was in Oaxaca last weekend for the Day of the Dead ceremonies. It was similar to what you show in this video but the streets were much more crowded with people. Also there was a huge number of police on the streets. Even the Mexican National Guard could be seen all over the central part of the city. Maybe that's why I didn't see any trouble on the part of the people celebrating. I didn't see any drunk people stumbling around either. But I was in my hotel before midnight every night.

Podrías hablar de la diversidad cultural étnica de México tanto por grupos migrantes como por pueblos indígenas o autóctonos.
Great video!! I'm not sure why people complain some places in Mexico are no longer authentic. I've been to a few places in Mexico - all I will say is that the more authentic a place is the less there is to do, the worse the infrastructure, there little economic opportunity, but plenty of poverty.
Dia de los Muertos reminds me of that animation movie, Corpse Bride, you would love it
Disculpa de casualidad recuerdas donde o como se llama el lugar donde te pintaste la cara?
Hi, Karencita, Are used to have a schedule of everything that’s happening in Queretaro for Dia de los Muertos but I can’t find it anywhere and I really want to go to many things. You even mentioned a parade of Catrinas. Do you have a list or a schedule of all the events that are happening? I would really appreciate knowing because I want to attend. Thank you very much, Valentina
Love your video! How expensive was it to have your face painted and how long did it take ;-)?
Gracias por el video; muy bonito. Creo que decimos “día de muertos”, no “día de los muertos”. Saludos 🙂

Tienes razón de verdad. No sé por qué dije día de los muertos. Andaba con el nervio de terminar el video
Tenemos que segir nuestras tradiciones en nuestro mexico No debemos permitir que los estranjeros se apoderen de nuestros pueblos
Me da mucha tristeza que nosotros los sanmiguelenses ya no podamos disfrutar de estas tradiciones porque ahora van enfocadas a turistas y extranjeros y el centro se atasca de gente
What type of phone are you using?..
la karencita ...still best ..youtuber
In the USA we have a lot of Calaveras Garbanceras too. Too many who people pretend to be wealthy and living out of their means.

Que paso Karencita, no pusiste tu ofrenda??? 🇲🇽💀☠️
“…and it was probably the food that killed them as well.” 🤣🤣🤣
Esta india que pedo con su inglés jajajaja jajajaja
Personalmente opino que SMA no es el mejor lugar para vivir la verdadera tradición de Día de Muertos. Un desfile con un montón de gente disfrazada presumiendose, un puñado de ofrendas sin chiste. Se nota que todo es solo un escenario paran atraer turistas incautos pero no sé percibe la misticidad como en Michoacán, Oaxaca o Mixquic.

Recuerda que México es un país diverso. Lo que está bien para Michoacán o Oaxaca no es lo mismo para Querétaro o Guanajuato.
Why are you wearing a mask on the bus? Did you actually believes that COVID nonsense?
