From today Thursday until the 28th of March, Casa de México (Calle Alberto Aguilera, 20) welcomes spring with a great feathered serpent, Quetzalcóatl, 42 metres long , covered in flowers and natural foliage. At the same time, in the foyer, you can admire the luminaries inspired by Mexican fruits. Admission is free.
Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, pays homage to one of the most important gods of Mesoamerica, deity of life, light, fertility, civilisation and knowledge.
The intervention took four months of work and required the efforts of more than fifty people to bring this project, headed by the renowned Mexican designer Ricardo Salas, to fruition.
The snake is made up of five different module designs that form the scales of the reptile. Each module is made with flowers and natural foliage from Mexico, Spain, Costa Rica, Italy and Holland. In a chromatic range of greens, with touches of colour given by the different flowers, the great snake is formed.
Some of the species of flowers and foliage present are: monstera, eucalyptus, ruscus, carnation barb green, hypericum coco bamboo, statice in different colours, paniculata, ananas, vriesia, brunia, achilea, etc.
