Mexico has a rich history when it comes to culture. Several countries, including Spain, USA and even Africa have helped shape Mexico’s culture. Just think of the numerous remaining Mayan temples scattered like ruins all over the country.

In Mexico they speak Spanish. Yet this Spanish is a different kind of Spanish than they speak in Spain. Mexican-Spanish has influences from Native American languages and the pronunciation is also often different. We do like the Mexican-Spanish language.

Most Mexicans were raised Catholic which is similar towards our culture. We also love the music genres from Mexico. There is a huge variety of music styles including son, polka, latino, pop, rock, … And that’s just like ours but even more varied!

Another reason we love Mexican culture so much is because Mexico is very welcoming. Family is considered the most important thing and Mexicans love to be together. Traditions are still followed. Just think of the day they commemorate the dead.

In terms of food and drink, you have plenty of choices. Mexico has one of the most diverse cuisines in the world. Mexican food is inspired by Spanish ingredients, but Indian ingredients are especially prevalent in the cuisine. Think tomatoes, peppers, avocado and, of course, chocolate. Typical specialties from Mexico are tacos and enchiladas. Typical Mexican drinks are mainly the well-known liquor tequila and also Corona beer. Both are from Mexico.
