    • Nightlife Spot: Streets of Flores around Christmas

    On Christmas Eve, we wandered the streets of Flores at night and came across old men playing traditional Guatemalan music on traditional instruments--marimba and snare drum. This was not a money making effort, but a celebration of the holiday. The music tradition of the Mayans is now heavily influenced by European and African influences. Other music spots are sometimes available in Flores, but basically this is a pretty quiet little pueblo with romantic restaurants that peer across the water.
