In addition, the Los Cabos Hotel Association participated, who set up their altars in honor of those who are no longer with us

Diana Olmos, Casa Dorada: “We were a team of ten people plus the entire hotel behind that supported us with supplies, with construction materials. It took us about two days to build the altar and well, we tried to incorporate all the elements that a traditional altar should arrive ”
