Carnaval
Barra de Navidad celebrates Carnaval every year and it’s that time once again!
Aquatics School
Just beyond the swimming pools full of vacationers enjoying the tropical sun and the retired expats cooling off from the heat of the day at cocktail hour, you’ll find a modest, off-the-beaten-path pool with something to brag about – local swimming school Acuática Requeña.
A Rising Star
Melaque’s Elio Rivera Stras has big dreams – in sports, music, the culinary arts and the environment.
Pickle Ball Scramble
Donna Noftle Duff organized another successful pickle ball fundraiser, held at the Cabo Blanco courts in Barra de Navidad on January 5, as a benefit for Cisco’s Amigos, a volunteer-run clinic that offers free spay-and-neuter services in La Manzanilla and surrounding communities.

An impressive catch
On Thursday, December 19, four Canadian and U.S. friends went fishing on Hakuna Matata, captained by Gerardo Kosonoy out of Melaque, and came back with a blue marlin weighing in at 302 kilos.
