Cultural traditions and heritage are being continue to be highlighted through various culinary, historical, and community events in Mexico and Spain. In Mexico, celebrations include the long-standing Yucatecan cuisine served at Cantina Montejo in Mexico City and the Feria Nacional de la Enchilada (FENAE) in Soledad de Graciano Sánchez. The latter festival, which drew over 600,000 visitors, focused on the enchilada potosina, a recognized piece of intangible cultural heritage. Recent efforts to preserve regional gastronomy include the 2026 Regional Dish Contest in Tixcacalcupul, Yucatán. Organized by the DIF, the event involved 18 community groups from 12 municipalities aiming to preserve Mayan gastronomic knowledge using traditional ingredients such as chaya, corn, and pumpkin seeds. In Jalisco, Guadalajara is celebrating the cultural value of ‘carne en su jugo’ through the ‘Mi Familia Hace la Mejor Carne en su Jugo’ contest at Paseo Alcalde. Meanwhile, Sinaloa’s seafood cuisine, including aguachile and ‘taco gobernador’, has achieved national popularity, supported by the state’s significant shrimp production, which accounted for 46.6% of Mexico’s national output in 2024. In Spain, local traditions were observed through the Romería de La Melonera in León, featuring craft workshops and ceremonies. Additionally, the documentary ‘El gran tour del arqueólogo Jorge Bonsor’ was screened in Mairena del Alcor to explore the life of the Anglo-French archaeologist and painter.
