THE JARDIN AFTER DARK
There is always activity in the Jardin at night, especially so on the weekends. Groups of mariachis gather there and wait to be hired for a special serenade in a restaurant or bar somewhere. While they wait in the Jardin, they play. People dance. Sitting in the Jardin in the evenings is a common thing to do for some local families, much like watching TV after dinner for other people. Watching the way locals interact gives you an idea of the richness of this culture. Sometimes you see amazing things, like a child twirling flaming batons. Or special concerts or speeches or dances. All of it takes place in the light of La Parroquia and it is very special indeed.
