MEXICAN NIGHT

The Lienzo Charro in Constituyentes springs from a sense of belonging, craving for life, and drive to perpetuate an attitude. The birthplace of organised charrería (horsemanship and rodeo riding) in this country was established on 4 June 1921. These horse riders are fighters who embrace time-honoured tradition. They are tough and uphold the values of one of the endeavours that most loyally encapsulates the Mexican spirit. Charrería is all about fields, brawn, strife, art and bravery. It captures the essence of the cross-fertilization that spawned it, and the mindset that an entire people share. It is opening its doors to the public for a firsthand experience of this distinctive lifestyle, and for a feria mexicana that will take over Lienzo Charro.
