I posted our outing on Saturday to the town of El Quelite here. We went back on Tuesday, Valentine's Day for breakfast and were treated to a show.
First, more from the restaurant. I'll have a few more to show in Friday's recap post.
The tables are set up for a tour group to see a show and have lunch. No worries, we'll have ringside seats thanks to Bill.
The tour group were getting a walking tour so we kind of attached ourselves loosely to them. They were armed with a photographer, and a drone.
This is the dancing horse waiting.

Entering the restaurant.
Bill and John place some chairs on the floor for a better view. Thanks, Carol for this priceless photo.
Oh, you mean the show????
Centuries ago they performed the Danza del Venado in full deerskin clothing with a bow and arrow. The deer is also representative of Mazatlan as Mazatlán is a Nahuatl word meaning "place of deer.
An eagle.
The horse does a final dance. The tour group is sitting on the balcony behind that railing.
What a treat and we didn't pay anything for the show.
Show's over and John is photobombing my photo.
Looking back towards the restaurant, the entrance is by the horse.

ReplyDeleteDon't you love the colors in the restaurant and town? They are as vivid as possible. I am surprised since the show was quite elaborated. Looks like a great way to apreaciate Mexico's cultural richness. #TPThursday

ReplyDeleteColour always adds excitement! I'd love to visit Mexico.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab show! And such lovely captures as always. Thanks for sharing with #MMBC.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you Monday x
I love this colourful town. You were lucky to catch a free show with your meal. I would personally be happy to just have authentic Mexican food (not much where I live).
