The traditional Mexican celebration was enriched this year with the presence of colossal sculptures of the most endearing characters of the television creator.
The giant sculptures, representing characters such as El Chapulín Colorado, El Chavo del Ocho and Doctor Chapatín, were made by local artisan Javier Zarazúa.
The installation of the giant altar pays tribute to one of the most influential comedians in Spanish-language television.
