Sunset over the mangrove in Puerto Morelos.
The sun has set on our short tourist season here in Puerto Morelos. The beach is quiet, the shops are empty and you don’t need a reservation to get into Al Chimichurri. It is a great time to visit. But with the grass turning green up north, people no longer think about us when they make their vacation plans. So, as our friend Eric says, “Now is the time we rest.”
It is relaxing to walk down the streets of our little beach town, saying “Buenos Dias” to everyone, as you only pass people that you know. The tourists and the snowbirds have left. And with this end to the season comes the closing of Alma Libre Bookstore. (Please note the bookstore is the only business that closes during the low season, the rest of the town is open for you.) Alma Libre will close at the end of April and reopen in mid-November. We will still be here to help with rentals and bookings via email. Puerto Morelos is a wonderful place to visit during the low season when rental prices are cut almost in half and the weather is still lovely.
So hurry back! In the meantime, here is a music video that will keep you missing Puerto Morelos. It is by the Spanish group, La Oreja de Van Gogh (The Ear of Van Gogh) and was shot here a couple of years ago. And if you look close, you may recognize a certain little bookstore in the background. Enjoy!
