The marathon has begun! We’re talking about the “Lupe-Reyes” marathon of festivities in Mexico – stretching from Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe (Dec. 12th) through Día de Reyes (Kings Day – Jan. 6th).

If your plans include a beachside spot to await Santa, keep in mind the traditional family evening in Mexico is Dec. 24th and so most places (including many restaurants, etc.) may be closing up shop early.
