Mexican masked wrestling. Where else can you see an evil monk wrestle a good nazi??
Matches are packed with more thrills, laughs and more fake punches than a bollywood film, and can include midget wresting and 3-on-3 girl action.
Lucha is a great afternoon/evening out for kids and adults and has a huge Mexican fanbase. Just be prepred to leave your political correctness at the door and to lose your voice a-whooping and a-hollering.

Arena Coliseo, Mexico City (nr metro Bellas Artes & Allende) every Sunday afternoon. Lots more locations and dates - pick up Lucha magazines from the street stalls for a few pesos or ask at your hotel - there are bound to be a few fans working there!

It is a rather tastefully decorated if a little pricey reataraunt on Caja Tacuba on the tube stop of the same name, here when you eat you will be serenaded by Mariachis. The food is really really good and if like us, you find a table next to a rich and touristy group like maybe a group of Japanese, they will pay all the money and you can just sit back and listen

Hit the Anthropological Museum at the right time on the right day, and you might catch a free display by the Voladores of Papantla - four daredevil feathered men who clamber to the top of a giant maypole, launch themselves into space with the slenderest thread around their feet, and 'fly' around the pole to the bottom. Four men making 13 rotations produces 52 - a mystical number for the Aztecs. Drop a few pesos in the hat of their sidekick - there are no safety nets here.

Judging from all the fading photographs in the lobby, this is the Wembley of jai-alai. No need to be an expert to appreciate the speed and excitement of the game or enjoy the compelling atmosphere. Betting is continuous, and wagers are placed in colourful and ingenious fashion; money and betting slips fly from punter to bookmaker in a slit tennis ball. The art deco building is worth a visit in itself.
