ajijicbound Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 From AjijicNews.com May 3 is Dia de la Santa Cruz, which is also the patron saint day of the construction workers, a large and loud group in Ajijic. In Ajijic it is a minor fiesta day, meaning that construction sites will be having parties starting around noon featuring cohetes (noisy sky rockets), food, drink, and maybe some music, all of which is paid for by the owners of the project. Altars with decorated crosses will be erected on these sites with large buckets of ice cold beer placed in front of them and offered up, and then, heartily consumed by the workers in the summer heat. This can happen anywhere where there is an active construction site. There is a friendly competition among the workers around town to see who can make the most noise as these very thirsty and hard-working guys get to blow off a little steam.

Bisbee Gal Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Late this afternoon or in the evening, go to Seis Esquinas to see the altars outside of homes; it is where many construction workers live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 The construction workers sure can eat a lot of pizza. For some it is a treat. The beer is later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
