New Year's Eve in Mexico
New
Year’s Eve in Mexico
The
year-end holidays in Mexico are always known for time honored traditions and a
family oriented spirit. You can sing Christmas carols with your friends and
family and enjoy some buñuelos, tamales and ponche spiked with rum.
Then
comes New Year's Eve. And while it has its traditions, this holiday is not so
family-oriented.
The
most important beach destinations in Mexico are packed with young people
looking for a good time. The most visited ones are Acapulco, Cancun, Playa del Carmen,
Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. They are always packed with young Mexicans
who travel in groups to get together and have fun with friends on the last
night of the year.
Upscale
hotels and restaurants host New Year's Eve dinners with festive menus and
orchestras for dancing.
What
you wear on New Year's Eve is thought to influence your destiny during the next
12 months. Some dress in white from head to toe to invite good vibrations and
assure a good year spiritually. Green clothing attracts a year of good health.
Wearing red underwear is said to bring love, while yellow underwear brings
wealth. And no, it's not fair to wear both colors. You have to decide which is
more important.
Whether
you celebrate with family or friends, New Year's Eve dinner is usually a feast.
