Chinchorreo
Hopping between several chinchorros in one day, eating and drinking a little at each stop. It is a well established weekend plan with known routes in the mountains and along the coast. Since you drive between stops, the local rule is the obvious one: somebody stays sober.
Example
A typical chinchorreo route links three or four stops along the same road, each with different music playing.
