They say altars are bridges between worlds - where the departed return to savor their favorite dishes. Each cempasúchil flower is an invitation, each recipe a love letter to those no longer with us. For the first time, Colima 71 guests will cross the threshold into homes where generations have woven memories through marigolds and ancestral recipes. In the home of Margarita (75), her chef daughter Ana, and young María (18), what's served is more than food: it's the tangible taste of heritage.
