Entertainment in Catemaco
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Entertainment in Catemaco is basically of the
do-it-yourself kind.
Frequently the county government sponsors concerts
on the central plaza and usually some sort of fair is
going on either in Catemaco or the surrounding areas.
If you are desperate for music, many groups of
troubadours will sing most anything for a buck,
per musician, per song.
As for nightlife:
Latin culture stems back to the siesta days, when the
daily nap made it possible to start partying at midnight.
Los Tuxtlas still maintains that attitude. So who are all
those people jogging the Malecon at 6 in the morning?

What little nightlife there is, usually does not perk till
after 11 and likely does not finish till after 4. Discos
come and go. The largest one, El Boulevard (Bule)
in Catemaco, at present is either undergoing
remodeling or destruction. Open aired, you were
probably able to hear it in Mexico City.
Within the last year several locales catering to the
night owls have sprouted and pack in fair crows
on weekends.
Check out:
La Ostonería - wine and beer cave
La Casa de Los Caballos - cantina & duck burgers

Red Zone
There is no official red zone (zona roja) in
Catemaco, although the carretera is unofficially
considered a zona de tolerancia. It harbors multiple
bars, imitation nightclubs, and most all trade in
unofficial prostitution.
Word of Caution: Attend any of these places
cautiously and get out at the first sign of trouble.
Gringos are fair game to any local drunk, unless
the management controls him.
