Nightlife

Generally speaking, Pátzcuaro closes down before 10pm, so bring a good book or plan to rest up. Late-night music lovers can go to Viejo Gaucho to hear Latin American folk music. The small restaurant serves salads and hamburgers. It's in the Hotel Mansión Iturbe (tel. 434/342-3627); enter from Calle Iturbe. It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 6pm to midnight. Music starts between 8:30 and 9pm. After the music starts, there's a $2.50 (£1.40) cover charge.
