As with the clubs, well, the DJs usually have a hard time because they always have a mixed audience, so they have to go from tech-trance and progressive house to pop music and even 80's and 90's music from time to time... it's weird but if you're not a true "Electro-head" (as myself) chances are you'll enjoy it. The clubs are not very big and there are several kinds, there are some more Electronic oriented, and others more Caribbean oriented, there are also lounge clubs and lounge bars. Anyway, the dance club scene is not as strong as the one you might find in Europe with its macro-clubs, Miami with its Club Space or Chicago with its very own Hard House scene... but you WILL have a blast, take it from me, not being much of a clubber myself 8-) Cheers :) Hey Jason,

The gala event features food, music and dancing... the ambiance is very pleasant and the service is great. I don't know the price per person but in past years it has been very reasonable. We won't be at "El Castellano" this year because we'll be with a group of friends in Mexico City... celebrating with the mariachis in Plaza Garibaldi! Best wishes to all for 2008...

And what about a live rocking salsa or afro-beet band? I am not familiar with any of the bands listed, but out of the above the Medival dinner sounds very cool, and I wonder what Disco in Merida would be like.

This is a time when most Yucatecos are enjoying family reunions and visiting with friends and family in private parties. However, restaurants are still open and this is the perfect time to go out for a special meal. It is also a good time for a siesta, since tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve.
