Travel and Cultural Vacations in Mexico explore the World
LUNES SANTO, Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca- México.
On Monday during the Holy Week in Easter, the Zapotecs of XiGuie'a (Teotitlan del Valle) make a procession that lasts all day, they take Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary walking around the town on the main streets they stop at every main corner, where the build Sacred Houses made with rugs. Here they stop, pray and give offerings to God. The brass band accompanies during all the procession, candles and flowers decorate the scenes.
I imagine this procession is an evolution of ancient pilgrimages carried out by our ancestors. Exactly during this season people are waiting for the first rain and begin to prepare the land for the up coming farming cycle. I can Imagine the image of the God of the rain being taken out of the temples to the streets where Zapotec offer corn, incense, flowers, etc...

Cooking Mexican at a OAXACA COOKING CLASS & visiting TEOTITLAN MARKET | Teotitlan, Oaxaca, Mexico
Subscribe for more food and travel videos:
Chasing a Plate is in Teotitlan, Oaxaca, Mexico! And we're experiencing a Oaxaca cooking class!
Today we join Reyna Mendoza at her cooking school El Sabor Zapoteco in Teotitlan, a small Zapotec town outside of Oaxaca to learn how to cook some traditional Zapotecan dishes.
At Teotitlan market, we pick up some ingredients for a soup, a mole, a dessert and a cactus dish. Teotitlan is a Zapotec town outside of Oaxaca. The Zapotec people are the largest indigenous group in Oaxaca so we are cooking Zapotecan food today.
You always start with dessert before your main meal so we had hot chocolate and the traditional way is to make the hot chocolate with water. We had some Mexican sweet breads which we dipped into the hot chocolate, it was delicious.
Time to cook! We roast corn on the comal and grind corn and chillis on the metate. Beyond learning to cook, look where we're learning to cook, it's just beautiful, these grounds are really authentic. It's really, really nice.
After most of the prep and cooking is done we have have a menu of sageza which is like a mole, Oaxaca is known for having 7 famous moles but Reyna says in fact there's like a hundred, so this is just a type of mole that we're having. We're also having a soup and it's got lots of herbs and squash blossom and chicken in it, or chicken stock and then we're having some nopales or cactus in a chilli sauce with fresh cheese sprinkled on top and then we have our gorgeous desserts to finish and we spot some mezcal as well.
What an amazing day learning how to cook traditional Mexican food at a Oxaca cooking class with El Sabor Zapoteco i Teotilan.
We hope we've inspired you to eat and explore like a traveler, not a tourist.

Sweet Tomorrow by Andrew Applepie
Coming Back Home
I´m sharing my most recent audio-slide show about The Day of the Dead tradition en Oaxaca, Mexico. This celebration mixes ancient Pre-Hispanic traditions with the European tradition of the Catholic All Souls Day.
Every year Oaxacans decorate their cemeteries with flowers and candles. They create beautiful altars filled with food and drink, for their loved ones who have passed who return home on this special day for a visit.
I interviewed Jose Hernandez Alaves, a candle maker in the town of Teotitlan del Valle. The music bands are ¨Los Reformistas¨ from Teotitlan del Valle and ¨Oro de Oaxaca¨ from
San Jeronimo Tlacochahuaya. The last song was recorded from a band playing a funeral song during an actual funeral process that I witnessed at the cemetery in Santa Ana Zegache.
This audiovisual also includes the following places: Mitla, San Martin Tilcajete, San Sebastian Abasolo, Santa Maria del Tule and Oaxaca de Juarez.

Prehispanic Mole with Abigail Mendoza
Let's go back in time to learn how to make this prehispanic mole in a very traditional way. We'll use a metate (precolombian grinding stone) to mill the ingredients without damaging the flavors of each ingredient. Today we cook with a true legend of Zapotecan cuisine, Abigail Mendoza Ruiz, one of the most respected culinary instructors in all Mexico.

Oaxaca, Mexico -- Felipe the Weaver (part 1) -- Amateur Traveler Video Episode 46
Visit the region nearby Oaxaca Mexico with the Amateur Traveler. When I was in Oaxaca I met Felipe Hernandez in the zocalo (main square). Felipe is a 4th generation weaver who has rejected the modern commercial dyes and practices and gone back to traditional zapotec methods and materials. His family speaks Zapotec at home which means that they may have lived in the Oaxaca area for around 2500 years. Felipe volunteered to be my tour guide and took me to see the big tree, the Zapotec ruin at Mitla and the Sunday craft market at Tlacolula. Then we went to Felipe's house and he and his family showed me the weaving business.
This video will come out in two parts. This first part briefly shows me the tour and then shows how to make a red dye out of insects (the cochineal) and how to cart, spin and clean the wool.
