Mexican Culture
When surveying
Mexico’s history, we can see a very rich
palette of civilizations and events that have
marked the land and its people and contributed
to what Mexico has become today. The pre-Hispanic
civilizations in general were very intelligent
peoples, with intricate ruling systems and religious
beliefs. Scientifically they were well advanced
in comparison with other civilizations of the
time around the world. With the arrival of the
Spanish, European influences mingled with the
indigenous inhabitants of the region and this
blend is what Mexico is all about.
All cultures have left traces of their past and
can be seen in Mexico today, in different aspects,
whether in the language, the arts, the beliefs,
the cuisine and the celebrations. Evidence of
the Spanish conquistadors is especially marked
in the language, the Roman Catholic beliefs and
the colonial-style architecture. However, indigenous
features that once belonged to the native people
of the Mexican valley also shine through even
to this day, especially in the handicrafts, the
exquisite traditional Mexican dishes, the typical
woolen woven blankets and the festivities.
What we see in Mexico today is definitely an interesting
mixture, where elements from both worlds have
combined over the centuries to form the unique
atmosphere of Mexico, where we are welcomed by
the warmth and generous nature of its people.
In
order to get a grasp on Spanish, just as with
any other language, it is important to immerse
oneself in some of the cultures of the people
that have always spoken it. And there is no better
way of doing that than staying in for example,
