Holy Week  For those of you who want to see the religious traditions of the country (catholic customs). The celebration starts from Sunday (Palms Sunday), all the way to Easter Sunday. One place where the reenactment of the Passion of the Christ is enormous is Iztapalapa in Mexico City, about 2 million people assist every year. If you're thinking of something less crowded, Taxco, Guerrero might be your best choice.
