Join us in preparing for the Tres Reyes or 3 Kings day celebration! We visit a bakery who has been baking bread in their wood fired oven since 1916. Now the fourth generation of bakers show us how they make the traditional bread for the holiday rosca de reyes Similiar to a king cake, this round sweet bread has 2 plastic figurines hidden in it representing baby Jesus. If you find one in your piece of bread you have the responsibility to bring tamales or atole to your family´s or office party on February 2nd, the day of the Virgin of the Candelaria. From here we visit a traditional mezcal palenque where we will have a farm to table lunch accompied by traditional mezcal made on sight as well as dessert-the freshly baked rosca!
