Music in Morelia

This was the second time we ate at this restaurant around Plaza de Armas..... inside. The first time we sat outside, with the hope to enjoy the city with all our senses, watching the people walking by, smelling and hearing the city, and well, that's exactly what we got. Vendors, beggars, singers and musicians stopped by. It was a couple of musicians that played a duet of guitar and violin what we really enjoyed. The selection of themes played by them was classy and the instruments sounded very tuned, they were students at one of these schools for sure. At than moment I understood why this city is famous for its music schools. There are opportunities of quality music played everywhere. For instance we went to a the Templo de las Capuchinas to see the church but there was a mass at that moment and a small orchestra playing live. How do you sketch heavenly music? Listen for yourself a small sample.

Once outside I sketched the plaza next door, Plaza Capuchinas, where a dog looked very comfortable laying on the floor under the warmth of the sun next to the pila, a fountain.
