Culture

Cancun will never win any ‘city of culture’ awards, but there is local culture here if you look for it.

Casa De La Cultura, Prolongación, Avenida Yaxchilán, Km 21 Downtown, is the art centre for local events, art exhibitions, dance performances, plays, and concerts. Information (in Spanish) is available from www.casaculturacancun.gob.mx

Teatro De Cancun (Voces y Danzas de Mexico), Boulevard Kukulcán Km 4.5, puts on traditional dance and music performance Mon-Fri at 1900. No reservations required.

There are a number of cinemas in Cancun, including the Cinemark complex in La Isla Shopping Village, Boulevard Kukulcán Km 12.5 (tel: (998) 883 5603).

Mexico has a tradition of bullfighting that dates back to 1526. Bullfights are held in Cancun every Wednesday afternoon at 1530 at Avenida Bonampak (near Plaza las Americas) (tel: (998) 884 8372).
