Street Art for Day of the Dead

In addition to the "ofrendas", "catrinas", skulls, and other decorations along Francisco Santiago Borraz in Tlahuac, the facades of many of the houses are painted with murals, most of them with a Day of the Dead theme.  We have been going there for several years, and while I recognized some of the street art from previous visits, other murals appeared to be new.








The "xolo" or Mexican hairless dog was believed to be a spirit guide to reach the underworld.
