A year after the passing of Francisca Viveros Barradas, known as Paquita la del Barrio, her son Miguel Gerardo is reportedly seeking to sell Casa Paquita, the famous cantabar in Mexico City's Guerrero neighborhood. This has raised concerns among fans and the public about the future of her legacy and what this sale means for the cultural space that Paquita helped establish.

Casa Paquita opened in the 1980s and not only served as a bar but also as a venue where Paquita built her musical career. As the owner of the cantabar, she was deeply involved in its day-to-day operations, from purchasing supplies to performing live shows. Over the years, Casa Paquita evolved into an iconic part of Mexican popular culture and was a significant part of Paquita's artistic identity.

The decision to sell is primarily practical for Miguel Gerardo, as maintaining the property may be challenging after his mother’s passing. This potential sale has reignited discussions about Paquita’s contributions to music and culture, and what it means for the future of places that celebrate her legacy. Fans are left wondering what will happen to Casa Paquita, a cherished piece of her history.
