Here the floor has memory. Plan arrival, exit and transport more carefully than in modern bar zones.
Before going out

The Cervantino's official pocket guide confirms La Santisima Voladora on Friday, October 9 at 22:00 at Casa FIC Late Night in Guanajuato city, with 105 minutes of cumbia, salsa, punk and metal. The former event page now redirects home and the main purchase path could not be verified on July 25, so Ticketmaster remains under review.
