They also shared that there are no definite plans to open a new space, but that El Lugar del Nopal will continue to look for the way to help promote and support art with high-quality events.

Similarly, they claimed that this is not the end and that it is still unclear whether they will have a new venue. El Lugar del Nopal will continue: “The space disappears, never the essence, and the show must go on,” they said, as they encourage the community to pay attention to their social media pages to receive news about how they will proceed.

Thank to everyone who has been a part of our history… El Nopal is everyone, and without you, audience and artists, we never would have existed. When the light of our stage turns off for the last time, our eternal gratitude will remain.

Due to this, and only one hour after this news was published, hundreds of people and reactions have flooded El Lugar del Nopal’s social media pages. Most of them are mourning that it is closing its doors as it is a spot that offered music, food, drinks, and a landscape from its beautiful and natural terrace.
