Hi everyone,
The "trompo" or "spinning top" is a mexican traditional toy made normally by wood which has passed from one generation to another.
It has a rope to play and there are different shapes and materials. Now a days we have the plastic version.
Mexican "trompos" are very colorful too.
Many countries have their own "trompo" but these are typical mexicans

You can play it like this:
There are many mexican trompos for exportation, too.
We also call "trompo de tacos al pastor" (pork meat seasoned and impaled in a tube) because of it's shape.
Can you see the similarity? Haha
Next time maybe we can talk about the "tacos al pastor" too.
But for the moment the "trompo" has been a traditional toy that has given joy and entertaiment to many of us, don't you think ?
