Entre nubes multicolor de incienso, arrancó el desfile a lo largo del Paseo de la Reforma, una de las avenidas más emblemáticas de la capital mexicana y cuyas jardineras rebosaban de cempasúchil, una flor de pétalos anaranjados que adorna las fiestas tradicionales en honor a los muertos de México.

Bailando alegres canciones rancheras, miles de familias acudieron con sus niños disfrazados para participar -como protagonistas o espectadores- de este desfile en honor a “La Catrina”, una figura creada por el ilustrador y caricaturista mexicano José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913), que con su imagen de calaca vestida de forma muy elegante representa a la muerte.
