On Mexico\u2019s Independence Day, you should definitely try almost every dish and drink you can find in the buffet or themed restaurants. The bars will be offering special drinks and you should give tequila or beer a go to celebrate this day but, if you want to fit right in alongside the local people, have a Michelada cocktail. However, remember that it is a spicy drink. A wide range of Mexican&nbsp;dishes and desserts will be available at the restaurants. Remember that this is a very special day for the Mexican people and you will find that the colours of the flag have been used for a number of dishes. That\u2019s why you will find red, green and white totopos, sauces and tortillas in the buffet.&nbsp; We also recommend you&nbsp;enjoy the ORIGEN show.This show is based on the&nbsp;country\u2019s origins, which have given Mexican culture its identity, and is about&nbsp;the traditions passed down from generation to generation by the more than 60 indigenous peoples of this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":7282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1332,1339,504,1341,367,1344,1249,1326],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-activities","category-all-inclusive","category-caribbean","category-culture","category-curiosities","category-holidays","category-mexico-en","category-riviera-maya-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/independencia_mex_portada.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.bahia-principe.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
