Valle De Bravo Real Estate Offers Culture And Tradition In The Annual "Festival Of Souls"

Author : Thomas Lloyd


         


Valle de Bravo Real Estate offers a relaxing ranch - life style or a the provincial atmosphere of a traditional, small Mexican town. While these are the main factors that contribute to people buying in Valle de Bravo, anyone buying real estate in a new town will also want to know what else is going on. In addition to the waterfront activities of the lake and the country-side outings popular here, Valle de Bravo offers an excellent blend of cultural activities which bring a pleasant variety to the area's lifestyle.

A prime example of Valle de Bravo's is the Festival of Souls, "Festival de las Almas" in Spanish. While the festival attracts many visitors, this annual event is a pleasure for residents and offers an attraction for anyone considering buying Valle de Bravo Real Estate. The most recent "Festival de las Almas" started on November 1st of this year and wrapped up November 7th, offering a whole week of activities. This is a plus for residents, since it allows the flexibility to enjoy the festival at a time that suits your schedule best.

This year the festival featured artists from 12 countries and seven different states of the Mexico. The festival is considered "one of Mexico's main cultural expressions to the world."


The opening of the Seventh Festival of Souls included the well-known of the Italian singer, Filippa Giordano and a splendid fireworks display. The festival included performances such as folk dancing, classical ballet from Russia, Mexican legends performed in theater, and monologues. Music, of course, was a central part of the festival, offering Mexican jazz, traditional guitar music, Trova, classical performances on violin and piano, and children's choirs, among many others; the final day of the festival also saw a performance from Alex Syntek, a favorite Mexican pop singer. There were also numerous art expositions, including paintings, engravings, drawings, sculptures, and photography. The festival also included book presentations.

A highlight of the festival was also the traditional offerings for the Day of the Dead. While this tradition is held on the first two days of November, it is somewhat different from Halloween. While Halloween focuses on costumes, ghouls and ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, candies and parties, the Day of the Dead honors friends and family who have passed away, making "offerings" for them – a table with many of their favorite things on display, along with pictures, candles, candy skulls, and the well known bread of the dead, "pan del muerto." which are often open for the public to visit and pay their respects to. The festival included a display of variations on this rich tradition from different parts of Mexico.

This festival is only a taste of the culture and activities offered by Valle de Bravo. While the relaxing life on a ranch is the main attraction of buying property in Valle de Bravo, events such as "The Festival of Souls" and the rich Mexican culture in represents gives us just one more reason to choose Valle de Bravo Real Estate.
