By Max Evans PUBLISHED: 08:58, Mon, Nov 3, 2014 Prince Charles and Camilla are greeted by Mexican women dressed for Day of the Dead Prince Charles and Camilla are greeted by Mexican women dressed for Day of the Dead[PA] It looks like they had fun doing it, they really enjoyed themselves. Pasty cook Paulina Espinosa The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were welcomed by women with skulls painted on their faces and the macabre fanfare of the festival in the town of Real del Monte. Arriving on the back of a four-day tour of Colombia, Charles and Camilla joined Mexicans in the annual celebration, where families remember loved ones who have died. Real del Monte is famous for its links with Cornwall as hundreds of miners from the county emigrated to work in its silver mines in the early 19th century. Prince Charles and Camilla show off their pasty-making skills in Real del Monte Prince Charles and Camilla show off their pasty-making skills in Real del Monte [PA] And the royal couple later found themselves laughing their way through a lesson in making a distinctly British delicacy exported to Mexico - the Cornish pasty. During a visit to the pasty museum, the couple put on white aprons and showed off their culinary skills by making the snacks, following the instructions of a group of chefs. As they each took a circular piece of pastry, Charles asked cook Paulina Espinosa how much filling he should use and she told him as much as he could. Prince Charles last visited Mexico in 2002 Prince Charles last visited Mexico in 2002 [PA] After they folded the pastry together to create the classic pasty shape they crimped the edges to seal it. Charles laughed as he put his pasty down on the metal work surface but Camilla spent longer perfecting hers and finally handed it over with a smile. Ms Espinosa said: "I think they did great - you do have to practice how to seal it. I don't know if it's the first time they did it but I think they did a great job.

Earlier, Charles and Camilla visited a historic graveyard. Real del Monte is more than 8,500ft (2,590m) above sea level and the trip up a steep hill to the cemetery left the Duchess a little short of breath, making her pause to recover before entering. Prince Charles and Camilla break ground on a project to build a football pitch Prince Charles and Camilla break ground on a project to build a football pitch [PA] Hundreds of well-wishers had filled the town's main square for an open-air homage to the Day of the Dead. The festival is a mixture of pre-Hispanic indigenous traditions and the Catholic celebration of All Saints and All Souls Days. It is a major event in the Mexican calendar - a joyous time when death is seen as reminder to seize life and celebrate the positive memories of those who have died. Charles and Camilla posed for pictures with women dressed as Catrinas - characters which originate from social satire prints lampooning affected upper-class Mexican women, depicting them as skeletons, dressed in gowns with large ornate hats. Before they left the town, the royal couple visited a secondary school and helped launch a project to build a new football pitch by each digging a spade full of earth Day of the Dead ladies welcome the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall Day of the Dead ladies welcome the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall [PA] The new pitch - which will be built with the help of a donation by Charles - has been seen as symbolic because the first football match in Mexico was played near the town of Real del Monte. Later, the Prince and Duchess will receive an official welcome from Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto at the presidential palace in the capital, Mexico City The royal couple are treated to traditional music in Real del Monte The royal couple are treated to traditional music in Real del Monte [PA] And while Charles tours a unique agricultural area of Mexico know as "floating farms", Camilla will visit a safe house for victims of sex trafficking. Charles and Camilla are the most senior British Royals to have visited Mexico. The Prince of Wales last visited the country in 2002.
