Dia de los Muertos' growing popularity
The popularity of Dia de los Muertos is growing worldwide. This presumably caused by the impressing opening scene of the James bond movie 'Spectre'. Agent 007 brings a visit to the national Dia de los Muertos parade during the start of the movie. This parade was actually non-existing in reality but was brought to life as an annual event after the success of the movie.
