Portozuelo

I Celebrated Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca, Mexico, Here's How I Planned My Once-in-a-lifetime Trip

"We headed to Portozuelo, the idyllic farm outside Oaxaca City where Alejandro Ruiz grew up and now runs a restaurant and event space; everything there is cooked in the traditional Oaxacan way over an open wood fire with ingredients from the market or grown on site, and after helping assemble a 28-ingredient mole we sat at a long wooden table to share rich bowls of mole and, for dessert, fresh pan de muertos." - Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs is the executive editor of Travel + Leisure.
