Yesterday, I shared some comments about the Costa Maya real estate market and a few listings for beautiful Mexico homes for sale ideal for enjoying life on Costa Maya’s virtually undiscovered beaches. Today, I will tell you a bit about community events.
Carnival 2013
On a community front, there are lots of events happening in February. The carnival, of course, is a huge local favourite with locals participating from every type of business and every age group, from the toddlers in kindergarten (my daughter will be on stage again at only 2.5 years) to “Mahahualenos†who have lived here since before the cruise ship port being built!
Clean Mahahual
Another event, in it’s fourth consecutive year, is “Limpa Mahahual†(Clean Mahahual), organised by a group from Mexico City, Sustenta (www.sustenta.com). They organise a variety of events during their week long stay (17 – 25 February): a clean up campaign of PET, starting a couple of weeks before their visit; a children’s competition, using plastics found on the beach to make underwater scenes; and, the big event, the beach clean up on 23th February.
Teams will be driven to different areas along the coast, where they will collect plastic that is washed on shore. This will then all be sent to Chetumal’s recycling plant with lot of prizes being awarded and t-shirts or caps for every participant. They are hoping for 400 participants this year or more! Check out: http://www.limpiamahahual.org/ for more information. Hopefully you can be here for the event.
Italian Culture in Costa Maya
An innovative festival combining Mexican and Italian cultures will be taking place this year (18 – 24 February ), “Cruzando Fronterasâ€, Crossing Borders. This is a cultural event with a number of well-known Italian figures coming to visit, involving theatre, sculptures, art, literature, music etc. the idea being to give each culture a taste of the other. They are also incorporating the beach clean up day into their programme. www.mahahualcruzandofronteras.com
With the Clean Mahahual event, Crossing Borders and the carnival all happening in Feburary, there is going to be an increase in tourism, both national and international, which will result in full hotels and cabanas, lots of beach home vacation rentals, restaurant and bars filled and everyone with a huge smile on their face!
Come to Mahahual, Costa Maya, and see what it is like for yourself.

Ayer les compartà algunos puntos de vista sobre los bienes raÃces en Costa Maya, un lugar fresco y naciente que hoy en dÃa ofrece increÃbles oportunidades de inversión en cuanto a casas en venta con frente a la playa se refiere. Un lugar idea para disfrutar al máximo el esplendor del Caribe mexicano. Hoy me gustarÃa platicarles un poco sobre las diversas actividades locales en Costa Maya, lo que es un atractivo más.
Carnaval 2013
Este mes de Febrero se llevará a cabo el carnaval de la localidad. Un evento tradicional, como en la mayorÃa de los poblados del paÃs, donde se celebran las raÃces del pueblo y a su gente. El carnaval se lleva a cabo todos los años en el poblado de Mahahual, mucho antes de que se construyera el puerto de embarque para cruceros. Es una tradición llena de colorido, ambiente y fiesta.
