Virgen de Guadalupe





Recently I went to the Basilica de Guadalupe, where you can find the home of the Virgen Guadalupe, mother of all Mexicans. People flock from all over to catch a glimpse and maybe even touch this important figure. In Mexico you will find an image of the Virgen pretty much everywhere you go in Mexico - necklaces, keychains, wall hangings, in public transportation - everywhere. Here at the Basilica you can see the original, see a reenactment of her miracles, and catch some music.
