hacer zaguán 36
The expression "make hallway" refers to the pampering (or something else) that the bride and groom lavish on the zaguanes, before one enters to visit the house and family of the other, or before retiring. As it is usually a fairly discreet place in homes, it was very common for couples to use it to have some intimacy, out of sight of relatives. 'Making a hallway' was also a previous step, almost ceremonial, for the woman to agree to consummate the sexual act itself with her suitor. Although today societies are more permissive, and houses have fewer zaguanes. See flannel .
