Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Maya has become popular all around the world. In countries such as the United States many have adopted the tradition and enjoy the fun festive vibe and lots of tequilas and margaritas. We all know it as Mexican Independence Day.
But Mexican Independence Day is actually on September 16th. May 5th is the day that Mexico defeated the French army in 1862. It’s officially called the Battle of the Puebla. We’re not sure why Cinco de Mayo become the famous date, maybe it just sounds catchier.
