Bar gay en monterrey 2018

I have to confess I did think twice about accepting an invitation to Monterrey, Mexico to show some of my movies recently, considering all the international hype around the extremely gruesome cartel violence in the Northern cities of Mexico. I shudder when I think of the cretins who think of Mexico only as a holiday destination for sandy beaches and thereby never bother to check out its great cities, much like the tired tourists who only go to resort hotels in Cuba and neglect to explore Havana.

In fact, at times it seemed like I was the only tourist in town my gingerness bar me stick out like a sore thumbexcept when ensconced in a swanky Holiday Inn, where a gaggle of American bikers were lodging while attending a nearby motorcycle convention. Reminders of the barbarity resulting from the turf war between rival drug trafficking gangs do tend to crop up.

The gaping, charred remains of a gambling casino, called Casino Royale, which was torched by gun-wielding cartel members last August, monterrey to death some 53 people trapped inside—mostly women—still stands in the middle of the city. For the last three gay the beautiful old part of town, the Barrio Antiguo, which used to be packed with revelers from Thursday to Sunday, is now practically deserted after sundown owing to the presence of the gangs.

After four people were machine-gunned down in front of it last yearand especially after the casino incident, the downtown area has been eerily deserted. Anecdotal evidence suggests that whereas about 70 per cent of the monterrey club-goers now avoid the old barrio, only about 20 per cent of the homosexuals have been scared away.

Girl has to 2018 her party on. That would have definitely put a damper on the evening. But not to worry: My host assured me that there is now an app that everyone has in Monterrey that warns them what part of the city to steer clear of on any given day or night. It also helps to have a very experienced and savvy cab driver to take you everywhere, as Alejandro did, a very pleasant fellow named Javier who knew the city inside and out.

It was safe enough one day to drive out on a notoriously bad stretch of highway to the Cola de Caballo horse taila beautiful waterfall not far outside the city. But enough gay those bloody-thirsty banditos. Except that I forget to mention that on the day after I went into the offices of El Nortethe largest newspaper in northern Mexico, to 2018 interviewed for a feature article they also gave a nice review to my gay zombie movie Otto; or, Up with Dead Peopleseveral of its offices were attacked with grenades and machine guns.

Thankfully, no film critics were killed. What follows is my photo diary of Monterrey, which, in bar of the drug wars, shows a city full of life, culture, stunning art, and great food that is well worth visiting.

I ate the delicious machacado con huevos every morning, a Mexican dish made of scrambled eggs and shredded dry beef. You might not want to eat this: a portrait of Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus made out of lentil beans, for sale at a street market.

It was built by the city several years ago as a government office building, but has since remained empty. I love Latin American cities. They always have an Avenue or Boulevard named after the Revolution. The church and square of nearby Santiago, where protestors and mourners gathered in after its mayor had his head blown off by a drug cartel.

It was later revealed that local police were also implicated in the assassination. Previously — Gays Misguided. Monterrey, Mexico, as seen from the Chipinque mountain. Videos by VICE.
