Horseback Riding On The Eve Of The Most Beautiful Flower Of The Ejido In Xochimilco, Mexico City
A native woman from Xochimilco and representative of the different neighbourhoods and villages of Xochimilco in Mexico City, puts on her make-up prior to her participation in a horseback ride on the eve of the festivities for the Most Beautiful Flower of the Ejido. The objective of La Flor Más Bella del Ejido is to revalue the beauty of the mestizo women who live in Xochimilco, in addition to preserving and highlighting the origins of the towns that at some point in their history had or still have farmland or ejidos.
