JUAN SOLDADO’S GRAVE
November 2010. A Dia de los Muertos visit to Puerta Blanca, Tijuana’s oldest municipal cemetery and the resting place of its unofficial folk saint, Juan Soldado. There, a Tijuana historian tells us his controversial tale. Then, a botanica hop (the pharmacies of choice for Mexican mystics), mole pizza in an old screen-printing bodega and, keeping with the cemetery theme, a nightcap at Panteon del Taurino, a surreal downtown dive forgotten by time. Read on. More photos. More tours.
