Mexicans speak spanish. mexicans are also roman catholic. they are generally amazing people :) they are well known for their kindness and hospitality. Many **Mexican legends** are quite famous too, like the legend of “La llorona” (“the weeping woman”), a woman whose spirit still cries for her lost son, or the legends of the Sacred woods of Chapultepec, where Aztecs emperors had their effigies sculpted in order to achieve immortality. But maybe one of the most important legends present in Mexican culture is the legend of the god named **Quetzalcoatl**, the most important figure of the Mexican cosmogony. It is said that Quetzalcoatl, while searching for bones which he needed to create mankind, gets to the Mictlan (“the region of the dead”), where the evil god Mictlantecutli tries to prevent him from collecting what he was looking for. Aided by his sacred bees and worms, Quetzalcoatl finally is able to get the precious bones and uses them to bring the human kind into the world. Through the history, people of Mexico have shown their courage several times, including the famous Battle of Puebla, which is commemorated in the [|holiday] of Cinco de Mayo. Among the [|famous Mexicans], we can find important characters like **Benito Juárez**, who improved education in Mexico and achieved a flourishing Mexico economy, as well as other famous Mexican people like **Miguel Hidalgo** and **Francisco “Pancho” Villa**.
