The Monterrey Player Party: Are You Looking for a (Super)Hero?

Remember our walk through a history of wacky fun-loving Linz player parties? Monterrey is something like its Mexican cousin – and once again they’ve set the bar high.

Moving on:

Followed by more line-dancing madness. Ay, dios mio!

Oh, Mexico!.. Never change.
