Synopsis
San Juan de la Vega, a humble community in the lowlands of north-central Mexico, witnesses every year an explosive tradition. The Carnival of San Juan has been celebrated since before Mexico declared its independence from Spain and, in recent decades, has changed into an outright fiesta charged with massive amounts of gunpowder and religious celebrations. |
