There are processions to family graves, traditional displays of sugar skulls, and marigolds scattered around — all to celebrate the Dead.

And that’s why we’ve chosen one of Mexico’s 31 states for today’s Geo Quiz. It’s a place where the Day of the Dead tradition is especially strong. This state borders Chiapas and Veracruz, and to the south, the Pacific Ocean. The Sierra Madre mountains give this state its rugged character.
