Cantinas in Yucatán: History and Evolution
Did you know that in their origins, cantinas did not allow women to enter? However, the concept has evolved, and today you can see groups of friends and couples enjoying an ice-cold beer. Cantinas, more than just places to drink, have been and continue to be social and cultural meeting points.
Cantinas were much more than simple places to enjoy a drink; they were authentic epicenters of political, cultural, and artistic discussion. In these corners full of history, agreements were made, ideas were woven, and, above all, they became a source of inspiration for writers and artists, both local and foreign. Imagine sitting at one of those tables, surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere, while enjoying an ice-cold beer.
Cantinas didn’t just offer drinks, but experiences that defined an era. A must on your cultural and gastronomic route! 🍻✨
