Celebrating Carnival with Tileño Mezcal

February 13, 2024 | Anna Bruce

Shrove (fat) Tuesday draws crowds to the small town of San Martin de Tilcajete. They are there to see the Carnival celebrations, where locals dress up as “diablos,” wearing masks, cow horns and covered in motor oil. 

Recently I was invited by Elias Jose Angeles Ojeda, producer of Tileño Mezcal, to witness the carnival celebrations.
