Maní, which has the name of Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town), held the first edition of Nights of Legends on Sunday, November 10, bringing together visitors of all ages to explore the rich history and oral tradition of this community, the City Council reported.
In an atmosphere of mystery and emotion, attendees began the tour in the Santiago neighborhood, guided by local storytellers who shared legends and stories transmitted from generation to generation.
The walk continued towards the Xcabachén neighborhood, where they entered the community’s cenote to hear stories about their origins.
The itinerary included a stop at the Parque de la Madre and the Calzada del Amor, until reaching the Ceiba de la Xtabay, where stories full of mysticism that combine reality and fantasy were shared.
The narrators evoked the collective memory of Maní in this first edition of Nights of Legends.
The narrators revived the collective memory of Maní, addressing topics from pre-Hispanic times to indigenous resistance, as well as creatures and spirits that, according to tradition, inhabit the mountains and paths of the region.
To close the night, the Maní Folkloric Ballet offered a performance.
The event aims to strengthen local identity, preserve cultural wealth, and attract more visitors in the future. The municipal authorities anticipated that there would be more editions of this cultural event.
