In addition to official celebrations, restaurants and cafes across\u00a0San Antonio\u00a0will showcase altars,\u00a0customary d\u00e9cor and\u00a0fresh-baked <i>pan de\u00a0muerto<\/i>, a popular type of sweet bread that is also used as an offering\u00a0to loved ones who have passed. This collective spirit offers an unforgettable way to experience the city, as well as to gain insight into this unique, historic holiday which views death with lightness and humor rather than fear.
