/Sounds like 'pah-LEN-keh'/
A cockfighting arena — the traditional venue for Mexico's deeply controversial and culturally embedded blood sport. Beyond its literal meaning, palenque is also a music stage or venue in northern Mexico, where famous performers headline regional concerts. Both meanings carry the same high-energy crowd.
"Las peleas de gallos del palenque llenan la plaza. → "The cockfights at the arena pack the venue."
"Esta noche hay concierto en el palenque de la feria. → "Tonight there's a concert at the fairground stage."

Pesero
Microbús de transporte público en la Ciudad de México. Le dicen 'pesero' porque antes el pasaje costaba un peso. Es una experiencia extrema de movilidad urbana.
