Homeowners in the Nanzal neighborhood can read the article below for more details on an initiative to regularize the land and give out title documents to homeowners. The process is underway as surveys have already been carried out on the north side of town.

Enjoy the sun, surf and sand this week in Sayulita and thank you for reading El Sayulero.

On Friday, October 12th, the Sayulita Ejido office and GeoDatum, a company providing property titles to Ejido land owners hosted an educational meeting at the Casa de la Tercera Edad to inform the public and homeowners who have property in the Nanzal area an option to obtain title for their property. In 2000 the regularization process began with the government entity, CORRET. Now according to the "Agrarian Law" this regularization process may be achieved directly through the local Ejido and GeoDatum, a private company.  More

This is the fourth season of the Sayulita Farmers' Market, and lots of new changes, including location, are in store for the season. This is the only Farmers' Market in Nayarit, and they have collaborated with the Saturday, Puerto Vallarta market, the Sunday, La Cruz market, and the Monday, Bucerias market. This year the market is truer to the idea of a farmers' market with significantly more local and organic produce. Of course, all your old favorites will be returning as well!  More

On October 13th, Skatepark Sayulita hosted its first event to raise funds and awareness to build a local skate park. The need to give skateboarders a location is getting more prominent in town as all age levels are flocking to the sport. So a committee was formed to give a voice to the dilemma and create some action. Cristian is the president, Yvvis and Cesar are the secretaries, and Julio is the accountant, and together they began spreading the word and making connections.  More

Sayulitanimals is not a shelter, but we constantly place dogs and cats in foster homes. We keep lists of animals in town and in kennels that are waiting for their new family. So often people come to us looking for specific breeds, and we DO have them! We cannot always offer a Chihuahua or Pit-bull, but it is never long before one comes our way.  More

Picasso is a young, male dog who was found on the highway near Higuera Blanca.  He is extremely underweight, anemic, and is currently in the Sayulitanimals medical aid program for observation and care.  He cannot stay alone in a kennel all the time; it is not healthy for his mind or body.  We are desperately searching for a foster for Picasso while he recovers.  He has someone watching him for the next week, but after that he will be by himself most of the time.  Picasso is very sweet and shy, and doesn't react around other dogs.  If you could care for him or give him a new home, please contact Sayulitanimals today.
