When we travel, I certainly want to bring home something from those distant countries that we visit. It can be souvenirs, national paraphernalia and even food. And in order not to overshoot with the choice of this kind of purchase, we will now consider a specific case and talk about what is brought from Mexico.
Unfortunately, not every citizen of Russia has the opportunity to get to this beautiful hot country. In principle, the rest there is quite affordable - at decent prices in restaurants and housing for rent, but the flight will result in a pretty penny. But if you still managed to get into this summer paradise, we recommend that you briefly familiarize yourself with its traditions and choose souvenirs that will always remind you of this unforgettable vacation.
So, what is most often brought from Mexico : food, drinks or decorations? The answer is simple: both that, and another, and the third. Everything in this country is fundamentally different from what is usual for us, so it will be pleasant for any traveler to keep such things at home. As a rule, all things are exhibited in Mexico in the markets - from clothing to jewelry. And the main motto of local markets is bargaining. Therefore, most often people who bring beautiful things from Mexico, bargain for them, because the initial price is always unreasonably high.
The main attribute of this hot country is the national costume - a sombrero hat and a bright poncho. In local markets, a hat can be bought for 150 pesos, and a poncho will cost a little more - from 200 to 250 pesos. Good items can be purchased from the Indians who trade here. They sell sundresses, shirts with national embroidery, wide trousers and dresses for dancing. Things that are brought from Mexico can be worn to work or just walk around the city in them. They are of good quality and made of natural materials.
Of course, in a country that is washed by the Caribbean Sea, where the culture of Spain is closely intertwined with the traditions of the red-skinned peoples, there are a lot of varieties of jewelry, talismans and magical paraphernalia. Tourists buy silver earrings and medallions at one time, purchase bracelets made of natural stones and rings inlaid with turquoise, agate, jasper and other dark stones. Many people buy such things, so that later they can be presented as gifts from Mexico to their relatives and friends.
Continuing the theme of jewelry, you can not miss out on beadworks made in Huichol style. A similar weaving technique was popular here even in pre-Columbian times. And today, on the basis of Aztec ornaments and modern technologies that allow you to make beads and glass beads, stunning earrings, bracelets and necklaces are woven. Of course, they are not precious, but unique.
A special topic now is shoes in Mexico. Rather, it concerns men's fashion, which in recent years has simply shocked the whole world with its shockingness. All new collections are full of varnished and simply shiny shoes with elongated pointed noses, bent up. The height of the boot can be standard, like an ordinary men's shoe, and can reach the knee. Most often, such a product is bought by tourists as an attribute and can only serve in the case of going to a theme party.
Of course, you can’t leave Mexico without buying tequila on your way. Indeed, in this country it is available in perfect quality and with the proper exposure.
