Posadas are Mexican parties that are celebrated between December 16 and 24, this tradition allows us to spend time with family, friends, neighbors and friends we haven’t met yet. The evening is full of fun, Mexican food, colorful piñatas, live entertainment, music, drinks, and hot fruit ponche. These parties are usually organized at neighborhoods (colonias), by families and friends, but this December 15th, 2022, you can be part and enjoy this festivity at our Great Posada San Miguel de Allende, where you will learn more about the Mexican Posadas, including:

Food, and drinks. You will taste traditional Mexican tacos; a variety of stews of meat, vegetables, rice, and beans, accompanied by tortillas, guacamole, and sauces. Unlimited traditional fresh fruit water (agua fresca), welcome drink and cash bar (only adults).

Live Entertainment. You will listen to Christmas carols, performed in Spanish by the pleasent voice of Daniel de Alba, a young singer member of the Coyote Urbano Collective, Christmas carols which you will surely recognize easily and will integrate you into the Christmas atmosphere for the evening.

The Pastorela. Pastorelas are the most anticipated theatrical performances of the season, which we can only enjoy during the Posadas. A Pastorea is a theatrical representation originated to represent the challenges that people must overcome to arrive at the location of the birth of baby Jesus, it’s a comedy in which mexicans also incorporate social and political satire.

Asking for “Posada”. The “Posada” takes its name from the representation of Joseph and Mary (José and María) pilgrimage and looking for shelter to spend the night. This representation is carried out by the friends, family and neighbors singing the traditional songs between two groups of people, those who are inside a house and those who are outside asking for “posada” (shelter), and you will participate in it in this party.

Breaking the Piñata. A Mexican “Posada” cannot miss breaking piñatas, an activity so fun for both children and adults in which even the shyest person loves to participate.

“Mi Tierra Linda” (My Beautiful Land) performance. To end the night, Coyote Urbano Collective will perform their original song “Mi Tierra Linda” a hymn to San Miguel de Allende, its people, culture, and traditions, which integrates rap, rock, and ballad rhythms, a love letter that the boys wrote to honor the heart of Mexico, the land that saw them born, grow up and which welcomes everyone who visit it or comes to settle.
