Dia de Muertos

There is a tradition in Mexico on the November 1st and the 2nd the altars are put up to honor the family members and friends who passed away. The Nov. 1st is for the babies and children and the Nov. 2nd for the adults. Every year we honor this tradition here in Hacienda Eden with an altar.

31st of October OPENING NIGHT

Haloween night was our opening night for the Hacienda Eden, the restaurant Jardin del Eden and our boutique Fruity Keiko. People came and enjoyed the food and drinks, while listening to the music of Jimi Mammou. We had a great time...
