We picked a great morning for a beach walk in Puerto Morelos. The beach is absolutely perfect, and check out the Caribbean! It is so calm it looks like a lake. You can’t even tell where the water breaks on the reef.
As an added bonus, the visibility is absolutely clear. Time to grab the snorkel gear and say Hola to the underwater citizens of Puerto Morelos!
Come see it for yourself! Check out our rentals at Casa de los Viajeros.
The season is underway in Puerto Morelos! We had a busy Christmas season with lots of visitors from all over, including a lot of visitors from Mexico City. This past weekend, the town celebrated one year of governing itself with a big, big party in the square.
Of course, some new restaurants have opened or will open very soon. Here’s a rundown of the most recent.
The most unusual is a new concept for Puerto Morelos, anchored by a familiar business. The area beside the pool at Dos Naciones hotel (formerly Villas Latinas) has been totally covered by an enormous palapa. At one end will be the new permanent home of Salciccium. The owners of this place had a restaurant here a few years ago in two locations at different times called Salciccia. They sold locally made sausage and sandwiches are were quite popular.
The rest of the area will feature different food trucks selling all kinds of food. The owners call it a Food Truck Village. There will be seating for 120 people! They promise a larger menu than they had before and hope to be open in a month.
A new cafe & gallery has opened on Rojo Gomez. It is called Las Robles (the oakes). It is located just north of El Pirata
A small juice place has opened on Ninos Heroes very close to the OXXO. It’s called Bodega Verde (the green bodega) and has juice, yogurt, fruit and sandwiches.
Not a new place, but Fonda Americana is open again (as we announced before). Now Chef Roberto has told us he is extending his hours! Starting on Monday, January 16, his restaurant will open at 11:30 to 5:00 and then 6:00 to 11:00 every day. He will have a different menu for lunch. We were just happy to have him back again, and now it will be easier to get our Fonda fix earlier in the day.
Whatever you do in Puerto Morelos, you will not go hungry!
A reminder that Alma Libre Books and Gifts is now open every day from 10-6. We have a huge variety of second hand books, plus new volumes of local interest, local items for your kitchen and local and regional art. Be sure to visit us when you visit Puerto Morelos!
Took a bit of a walkabout on New Year’s Day to welcome 2017 to our little corner of the world. As you can see, even in high season, Puerto Morelos still has loads of room for you! It never feels crowded here.
We had a cancellation, so our one bedroom, one bath apartment #3 is available over in early January, from January 7-20
This suite is on two floors, with a full kitchen & bath and a newly enlarged balcony with hammock. We’ve lowered the rate to $89 a night.
We visited the new fruit market, Fruteria del Puerto on Ninos Heroes this morning. A decent selection of fruit and vegetables and some juices. No orange juice yet, the friendly owner is saving up for a machine. He says he will be open every day from 6 to 6. Go check him out!
This new market is directly across the street from the old market, Chulim, which closed suddenly last month. This fruit market is in the Siempre Sano Vegan restaurant space, which swapped places and opened in the old Chulim space.
Dia de la Virgen de Guadalupe celebrations are very big in our town! Here are a few photos and a 30 second video of what passed right by our bookstore yesterday. For more information on the celebrations, check out our Salsa and Sun Blog. Click Here!
We paid our night-blooming cactus another visit late last evening, and were delighted to see more blooms, and another bud ready to go!
So great to see a night blooming cactus in Puerto Morelos again. We saw this around midnight on Thanksgiving Day 2016. It is on the median on Rojo Gomez near the Dos Naciones hotel. I believe it is a piece of the big cactus that used to bloom near the square. Click the photo to get a bigger and better view.
We had a bit of rain last night, so this morning we get a new beach! Be sure to visit our websites for more town information.
