Mariachi singers and 'seranatas' are still an important part of Mexicans' lives. We went to the traditional plaza Garibaldi and the main Mariachi cantina called the Tenampa, which is beautifully decorated with vibrant colours and murals with lyrics of famous mariachi songs (http://www.salontenampa.com/index.php/en/). Emma sipped her first authentic and delicious Mexican tequila. To my disbelief, numerous Mexicans have confirmed that it is still common for lovers to sing mariachis at the balcony of their beloved. Although, in theory this sounds romantic in practice it seems a little less so: the lovers often do this when they are drunk with their friends at 4am and wake up the whole street.
