CANTINA TABARES

This is the locals' bar, very nice with a rooftop terrace that offers a great view of the bajio (desert below). It's a real cantina in the pure Mexican tradition, with its many varieties of alcohol and its indispensable beers - ideal for a refreshing break. More unusually, the place even offers cocktails, including the excellent almond-flavoured Mazapán. The old-fashioned atmosphere of the place really takes us back to the 1800s, when Real de Catorce was still a thriving mining village.
