This is a presentation of Mexico's legacy to the world for IE Business School admission application purposes. I want to show the culture and traditions of my country, Mexico, that are important to the world. Mexico has a lot of things to share with the rest of the world that cannot be forgotten. From the beautiful flag to the admired soccer team, we go through the religious traditions with the venerated Virgen de Guadalupe and Dia de los Muertos; the sport that is not only considered a sport but has become a symbol of culture and tradition of Mexico, the Charreria; two of the most important painters from Mexico, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, whom left a legacy not only in Mexico but all around the world with their unique paintings; if we talk about cinema, we can be proud of our "Mexican Charlie Chaplin", Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" and of our "Three Amigos", Gonzalez Inarritu, Del Toro and Cuaron whom have left a mark on the film industry around the world. Some of the "Three Amigos" films are: Gravity, Babel, Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, and The Hobbit. Mexico is proud of having one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza, the amazing city built by the Mayas with multiple architectural styles. Mexico could not be Mexico without its music and food, when people think of Mexico they picture themselves eating some tacos made out of corn or flour tortillas with different and tasty kind of meats, with a Margarita or a tequila shot and listening to Mariachi music; perhaps in one of the beautiful magical towns somewhere in Mexico with amazing and colorful views.

• If all of the world’s cultural heritage was contained
in a time capsule, Mexico would have a lot of
amazing things to share. Mexico is so rich not only
in natural resources but also in culture, traditions,
food, and population.
• This country is well known around the world for its
colorful and joyful traditions and culture; the
interesting and remarkable artists that have made
this country proud; its beautiful architecture and
many magical cities; and of course, its flavorful
and unique cuisine.
