The Candelilla Tradition in Higueras

Notify me when there is a date

Description

Discover the magic of Higueras, Nuevo León, after dark on a cultural experience that celebrates tradition, community, and flavor. This tour takes you to an oregano farm and vineyard, where you’ll learn about local cultivation and production. Afterward, we’ll visit a traditional house in the town center, a gathering place for sharing stories and the value of community life. 

The most special moment comes at nightfall: the Encendido de la Candelilla, a unique December tradition in which the town’s families light up the plaza with burning candelillas, creating a warm and symbolic path of light. It’s a tribute to unity, hope, and collective memory. Seeing and experiencing it from the inside is moving and deeply authentic. 

We end the evening with a traditional Northeastern dinner, prepared with local ingredients and recipes passed down through generations.
