Celebrating 4th of July in Mexico

The famous date known, even worldwide, as Fourth of July, is for the United States a very special day. It not only commemorates the Declaration of Independence of the thirteen colonies that until 1776 were under British rule, but it’s also an event that has contributed to the creation of the identity of its inhabitants. For this country it represents a whole day of celebration in the company of family and friends sharing funny anecdotes, cooling off from the heat of a sunny summer day with a refreshing drink and, of course, closing the night with a night sky that is painted with the colors of the national flag: blue, red and white.

However, this date is not always celebrated in its homeland. Due to the fact that it’s carried out in the summer season, many times people take advantage of the holidays to enjoy a family trip, being the Riviera Maya one of their favorite destinations. Many American citizens take advantage of both the date and the trip to reunite their family and friends in a paradise like the Mexican Caribbean to celebrate and not miss out on such an important date, making the most of it in the comfort of a hotel by the seashore.
