Just got back from Casa de las Leyendas and I’m still getting goosebumps thinking about that La Llorona exhibit! Anyone else find themselves looking over their shoulder while walking through the darker sections? 😅 The way they use lighting effects in those dioramas is seriously impressive. I went during a weekday afternoon and practically had the place to myself, which made it even spookier tbh. Does anyone know if they change up the exhibits seasonally? I’m thinking of returning during Day of the Dead since the post mentions they do special events then. Also, kinda wish I’d brushed up on my Spanish beforehand – understood most of it but felt like I missed some of the nuances of the stories. Oh! And if you’re planning to visit, don’t miss the courtyard in late afternoon – got some amazing photos with that golden light hitting the colonial architecture just right. Anyone have a favorite legend from Veracruz folklore that’s featured there?
