As such, I don&#8217;t have a ton of time to sit around watching Netflix. That being said, there are two shows I&#8217;ve really enjoyed watching recently as a way to practice my Spanish listening skills and also to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/la-cultura-mexicana-mexican-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>la cultura mexicana<\/strong><\/a> (Mexican culture).<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been reading the blog for a while now, you won&#8217;t be surprised to find out which shows they are.

This high-flying style of professional wrestling features masked <em>luchadores<\/em> and is one of the most popular sports in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to the <em>lucha libre<\/em> fights several times already &#8211; in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and even in the Pitillal neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta. I even have several <strong>mascaras<\/strong> (masks) that I&#8217;ve bought from the fights.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10805\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/08\/Lucha.jpg\" aria-label=\"Lucha\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10805\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10805\"  alt=\"Lucha Libre in Mexico\" width=\"600\" height=\"429\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/08\/Lucha.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/08\/Lucha.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/08\/Lucha-350x250.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mexican wrestling in DF and Guadalajara!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can imagine my excitement one day when I was browsing the options on Netflix and came across a show called &#8220;<strong>Nuestra Lucha Libre<\/strong>&#8221; (Our Lucha Libre).
