Custom in Mexico like most other countries carry with them local meanings inbred in heritage. Much like when in Zacatecas last November, while coming from a delicious Sunday brunch in an absolute unique hotel which was resurrected from the towns old bull ring, once the cities Mecca of los toros.
They did a magnificent job of restoration themed with restaurants, gift shops, and guest rooms emerging in the ambiance of los días de los toros. A hotel, who’s name escapes me (embarrassingly so) which is high on my recommendation list of something not to miss.
Another reason I mentioned this hotel is that same day as we left Sunday brunch, across the street is a very attractive park or I guess you can call it something like a Zocolo, which was humming with visitors.
We new something special had happened that Sunday because families were dressed to the “T’s” and accompanying some of the cutest little girls (about 5 years old or less) dressed in these gorgeous formal little/long dresses similar (I guess) to the coming out dresses of La Quinceañera.
When we enquired of the family accompanying the little girls they gave us the name of the celebration but that too eludes me now. Perhaps those more familiar with this custom know what it’s called.
I'm trying to attach a .jpg photo I think unsuccessfully. I'll give it a go.
