Thousands of 'Calacas,' or skeletons, took on the streets of Mexico City on foot, bicycles or even some motorized vehicles, to celebrate with a parade the incoming "Day of the Dead".
Revelers of all ages took the occasion to dress-up as "Catrinas" and "Catrinas," the popular image of death, while dressing in different styles, ranging from elegant couples of old times to brides and rockers.
And there were even some guys with just a bit of black and white on their faces, but the intention is what matters the most.
Skeleton ladies wore long dresses in yellow, black, and other colors, as well as long gloves and wide-brimmed hats adorned with flowers in the Alameda Central.
In other parade which started in the district of Cuauhtémoc, "calacas" dressed as brides or indigenous women were accompanied with a dozen floats, some of them representing gigantic skeletons.
Hundreds of skeletons also took their bicycles for a ride of 10 miles from the Chapultepec forest to El Zócalo over Paseo de la Reforma.
When the ride ends, there will be costume contest in the monument of the Ángel of the Independence, only for people dressed in the traditional fashion.
On Sunday, the activities will continue with tours, Catrinas contests, exhibitions of traditional offerings in El Zócalo, Chapultepec and the Zoo of northern Aragón forest, in addition to free rides on the tourist transportation Turibus system for those dressed according to tradition.
