In the festivity of the Guelaguetza, there are 3 mondays that stand out, these are called “Mondays on the Hill” or “Lunes del Cerro” in spanish. Do you want to know more about these? Here I tell you.
The “Mondays on the Hill” are the main attraction of the Guelaguetza, these are celebrated the 2 mondays after the 16th of July.
WHAT ARE THE “MONDAYS ON THE HILL”?
They are part of the celebration of the Guelaguetza, like the convites, in the “Mondays on the Hill” rituals of weddings of the cultures of the 8th regions and traditional dances are made, also in these dates, other cultural and sports events are done, I will tell you about these in other posts.
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF “MONDAYS ON THE HILL”?
These celebrations are relationed with the festivity of the party of the Carmen Alto(this is why they have the same origin as the Guelaguetza), the temple of the Virgin of Carmen Alto was built near the hill of the Fortín, this is the reason why they are celebrated in this place.
