Welcome to all 2,375 newsletter subscribers!

 

Semana Santa was a little less crowded and a lot more organized than in past years. Kudos to everyone involved with bus parking, garbage pickup and beach cleanup. That said, the festivities aren't over yet. There are a total of eight national, religious and local holidays and festivals taking place in the next 20 days, beginning today with Día del Niño (Children's Day). Learn more below.

 

If this issue seems a little light on content, we apologize. We've been focusing our time on some exciting new programming changes (see details below) -- and we continue to update our Spring/Summer Dining Guide to keep our readers in-the-know.

 

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.    

 

 

Saludos!

Earlier this season, a group of us set out on a day trip to the secret beach at the Marieta Islands. We hired Salvador in Rincón de Guayabitos to take us. While en route to the islands, we did some whale watching until the captain spotted some splashing going on. We headed that way to explore and got a chance to see these manta rays...  Read More

 

We love sharing photos from our readers. Please email your photos 
(at least 500 pixels wide) to Allyson@JaltembaBayLife.com. Include a photo title, a detailed description of what the photo is and/or where it was taken (the more information, the better), the photographer's name, as well as the city and state/province where the photographer lives if not from the Jaltemba Bay area. We can't wait to see what you've been up to lately!

 

During the past 6 months, we have received a number of requests from our clients asking us for a way to advertise monthly and long term rentals... and when you ask, we listen.

 

We have not only added a NEW Long Term Rental category to our Hotel & Rental Directory, but we've also added monthly rates, a room description field and a new sort feature to all rental category pages (see details below) to make it easier and faster for potential renters to find what they are looking for. These changes went into effect on April 22.

 

Advertisers: Please note that these updates WILL affect your webpage!

10am Wednesday, April 16 -- The tents are arriving as vacationers stake out their space on the playa, and the banana boats are already giving rides. There are a lot of out-of-town vendors setting up their wears along the street and in the intersections in front of other businesses on the main Avenida del Sol Nuevo in Rincón de Guayabitos.  Read More

11am, Good Friday, April 18 -- The weather is great and the crowds have arrived for Semana Santa. In discussions with a few vendors and restaurant owners, they expect Friday night and Saturday to be the busiest days. It is quite a contrast to the quiet beach in Rincón de Guayabitos a few weeks ago.  See More
