While many families traditionally enjoy New Year’s Eve in Mexico with a family dinner at home, there are ever more options around town for dinner, dancing, and a regular fiesta to ring in the año nuevo! Plus, it’s good to keep in mind that Christmas Eve is traditionally the night families in Mexico get together for the big family dinner (late night), so many restaurants and businesses may close up shop early on the 24th and check for modified hours / closures on the 25th.
If you’re looking to spend Navidad in Puerto Peñasco, and still wondering what to do to ring in 2018, we’ve put together some info to help you plan.
