Arriving in Autlan we will proceed to the centro and enjoy the beverages and snacks in the “Callejon de Gusto”. Then we will enjoy the entertainment and festivities before going for lunch around 1:00. After lunch we will enjoy more of the festivities and celebration offered by the people of Autlan until we head over the Plaza de Toros around 4:00 to take up our reserved on the shady side seats for the tradional Spanish bull fights.

You'll find information on who the bull fighters and the entertainers for the closing ceremonies will be as soon as we know - but they are all professionals and it is a great show all round! Please reserve by January 12, 2010 so that we can purchase your reserved ticket to the bull fights.
