Welcome to all 1,581 newsletter subscribers!
The Jaltemba Bay area was a buzz with activity this weekend! The Cancer de Mama Clinic helped an amazing 567 women during the 3 day event, the 8th Annual Festival Artístico Cultural in Rincón de Guayabitos held it's first presentation on Saturday night, and locals flocked to area restaurants to partake in Superbowl festivities on Sunday afternoon.
Take a deep breathe JBay folks, because there's no break in sight! This week starts out with shots of tequila and showmanship at the 10th Annual International Margarita Challenge which begins at 4:30pm today. And since Valentine's Day is only two weeks away, why not impress your valentine by making reservations to surprise her (or him). After all, a romantic dinner is the perfect way to say "I love you!" Check out our updated list on Where to Celebrate Valentine's Day in Jaltemba Bay. ♥ ♥
To find out what else is happening, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.
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.
For the remainder of the season, we will publish our newsletter every other week. Keep an eye on our blog, as we will continue to publish information, stories and photos there on a regular basis. Watch for the next issue of the Jaltemba Bay Life Newsletter, which should arrive in your Inbox on February 20th just in time for your morning coffee.
Saludos!
