This city is very unique. There were many things that I haven’t seen in other cities besides that there are swamps all over, New Orleans has the famous French Quarter with old houses all of them with a second floor and patio in the front most of them turned into clubs. It is a very old city and it was part of France during some years, they even spoke french a long time ago here.
We arrived downtown around 8 pm and starte crossing by feet a park, then we saw people with tables in front of them that had candles and a sign (tarot readings, palm readings). Also I saw a group of people standing in front of a building and they were the vampire tour, which takes you to haunted places and they have voodoo tours, ghost tours, cemeteries tours etc.
The cemeteries are different too, people are not buried under ground because there is too much water, they are above ground and they build a kind of a box around it tall enough to walk in with doors in the front.
The main party street had many, many clubs, bars with live music, lots of jazz. A very artsy city and a big party city you can even drink in public.
Definitely if you like to party this is the place to go.
Llegamos al centro de la ciudad alrededor de las 8 pm y al cruzar un parque, vimos a gente con mesas en frente de ellos que tenian velas y un letrero (lecturas del tarot, lecturas de la palma de la mano). También vi a un grupo de personas de pie delante de un edificio y eran el tour de vampiros, que son llevados a lugares embrujados y tienen tambien recorridos vudú, de fantasmas y excursiones a cementerios, etc
Los cementerios también son diferentes, las personas no están enterrados bajo tierra, porque hay demasiada agua, están por encima del suelo y construyen una especie de caja alrededor de los ataudes lo suficientemente alto como para entrar con las puertas en la parte delantera.
En la calle principal hay muchos clubes, bares con música en vivo, un montón de jazz. Una ciudad muy artística y siempre de fiesta incluso se puede beber en público.
Definitivamente, si te gusta divertirte escuchando musica y haciendo relajo este es el lugar para ti.
Love the haircut!
