Altar Día de Muertos 2026

The Teatro Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa is hosting a new edition of the traditional Altar de Muertos, which this time engages with the memory of the Generación del 27.

The Madrid cultural venue presents a proposal that unites the Mexican festival of Día de Muertos with the legacy of the artists of the Generación del 27, framing death as the permanence of creation and thought. Visitors can explore this installation, which brings together traditional offering elements such as flowers, incense, food and symbols that intertwine indigenous and Catholic roots, conceived as a space of remembrance and historical justice.

The visit is designed for a broad audience, including families and the curious interested in cultural anthropology and the arts. The route is complemented by educational, interactive workshops aimed at children, focusing on catrina make-up and puppet-making, as well as explanatory sessions on the set-up and symbolism of the altars.
