Is marked in the calendar as the Aniversary of the Battle of Puebla. When the Mexican Army defeated the French Army. But out of that is not as big as it is celebrated in the USA. Even though September 16 is the Mexican Independence day and the equivalent to the celebration outside Mexico is May 5th. I dont know if the start up of the Carrera Panamericana in May 5th has something to do with the celebration in the USA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086394598792743547noreply@blogger.com
