Cervantino Ends

Cervantino Clausura 2017

Last night marked the end of the Cervantino Festival for 2017.  On stage was Eugenia León and the Orquesta Sinfónica Mexiquense.  I arrived at 7pm to line up for the show at 8pm.  The bleachers were filled by 7:30.

The Cervantino Festival draws visitors from all over the world and fills the streets of Guanajuato.  By the end all residents are relieved for the end and the return of normality to the city.  Day of the Dead happens next.

Ticket prices are very reasonable however we mostly attended free shows, in particular films.  Friends from Vancouver arrived for the last three days of the festival and that was an excuse to attend some paid events.  Blair and Jennifer now begin three weeks of classes at La Hacienda Spanish School.

I see snow in the weather forecast for Garden Bay and remember my primary reason for spending the winter here.
