Hispanic Heritage Month is here and it has us thinking about all the Latino traditions passed down generation after generation. After all, Hispanics make up over 17% of the U.S. population. That’s over 54 million people!
It’s these traditions and shared cultures that have influenced and branded the society we live in today. That’s why, each year, we celebrate this heritage in the U.S., and continue to support family back home through Pangea Money Transfer.Which of the traditions below remind you most of your family here in the U.S., and back home in Latin America?
