El Día de Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday which takes place over the first two days of November and is celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Congratulations to Lucy who won Mr Gonzalez' 'Dia de Muertos' prize! In the video below, Mr Gonzalez explains how Mexicans celebrate this amazing tradition.
