All is Merry and Bright

December 26 officially marks the beginning of Christmas vacation here on the Costa Alegre! The caravan of buses fully loaded with families from the inland towns and cities have been streaming into the town since early last evening. 

Long Arm of Winter

Every expat arriving in Mexico has one main objective: to leave winter far behind them.

The soldaderas

The spirit of rebellion formed during the Mexican  Revolution, a 10-year affair that ended nearly a century ago, still resonates today in modern Mexico. 

In a while, crocodile!

It is well known on the Costa Alegre that La Manzanilla is home to the largest cocodrilario (crocodile sanctuary) on the Jalisco coast.
