Every weekend the center square (the zócalo) of Coyoacan is packed with people who come to to enjoy the tranquility of the neighborhood. The zócalo has many vendors selling a variety of things from nice jewelry to Skooby-doo balloons. This weekend the zócalo was packed because September 15th is Mexico's independence day. It felt very similar to the 4th of July in the states with fireworks, party's, etc.
While cruising the zócalo today I came across this band. They were playing all the very well know Spanish love songs.
The best part was how many people came out and danced while the band was playing. Dancing seems to be so ingrained in the culture here that there were amazing dancers from the age of about 12 years old to probably about 80 years old. My favorite couple is the one dressed in white on the left. They must have been about 8o and they danced so well and had pretty traditional outfits too. It was very cute to watch.
