Some History

The old Paso del Norte was founded in 1659, its location became strategic since the conquest, as it was a resting place for the caravans that traveled along the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro on their way to Santa Fe, today New Mexico. It was home to the homeland of President Benito Juárez, and was the scene of the triumph of the Mexican revolution in 1911. “Nearshoring” has not been foreign to the Heroic City. The maquiladora industry was established and prospered.

Local culture

Food

During the construction of the railroad tracks, food had to be delivered to the workers wherever the track was. “Here come the burritos” was a cry of joy, since the stews were transported by donkey and in the absence of plates, they were served wrapped in flour tortillas. The rest is history.

Clothing

The border population protects what is theirs and adopts what is comfortable. Clothing in Ciudad Juárez is not alien to the cowboy tradition; the extreme climate requires covering up from the sun and the cold, but since it is a business city, international dress codes have been incorporated.

Tradition and customs

The Ciudad Juárez holiday calendar is multicultural. Holy Week and Easter Sunday are celebrated with children wearing new clothes and searching for bunny eggs; the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the annual Juárez fair, Thanksgiving Day and Santa Claus's Christmas.
