Central America used to belong to the New Spain, as present-day Mexico was known until 1821 until its independence from Spain was attained. Therefore, both Mexico and Central America share common traits such as language (Spanish), religion (Roman Catholicism) and customs inherited from the colonial days, when the region was controlled by the Spanish Crown. However, since the region split off from Spain, each country acquired traits on its own. For example, mariachis are almost non-existent in Central America.
