welcome / bienvenidos |
Welcome to all 1,344 newsletter subscribers!
Tosia and her husband, David, are driving south to Jaltemba Bay this week, so I am back in the saddle for this issue. Last week, we announced the new Rental & Business Recommendation function on Jaltemba Bay Life. If you haven't already done so, write a recommendation for your favorite restaurant, business, hotel or vacation rental to help others decide where to eat, what to do and where to stay this winter. We know m any of you are also planning to head south in the next few weeks. Whether you are coming for the first time or staying for most of the winter, please read through our handy Travel Tips Guide, which includes information on What To Do Before You Go, What To Bring, Required Entry & Exit Documents, Customs Regulations, Medical & Travel Insurance and Bringing a Vehicle into Mexico. And if you are traveling with pets, be sure to read our Pet Travel Tips as the document requirements have recently changed. To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page. To find out what's happening this week and next, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar. Be sure to watch for the next issue, which will arrive in your InBox on October 23rd just in time for your morning coffee. Saludos!

San Sebastián del Oeste and Mascota: Part 2
by Christina Stobbs

The ancient interpretation of the word "Mascota" is the "place of deer and snakes." Thankfully the only snake we saw was a dead one, lying in the middle of the road! Mascota is not a touristic town. Its population is just over 13,000 and the economy is based on agriculture. Read More
