A Saturday afternoon, and we all decided to go on a pick nick in a region that has been increasing in attention, the Tulum real estate area<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 When you pull into the Tulum pueblo off of highway 307 from Playa del Carmen heading south, the first stoplights give you a choice of turning west towards Coba, or east towards the beach.\u00c2\u00a0 This afternoon we took several friends, Stephen from Canada, Richard from D.C., and John from Calgary.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 As we drove down the road towards the beach these were some of the comments;\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 “The new gas station, oxxo stores and the bike paths are very impressive”\u00c2\u00a0 ” A lot has changed in a year, this is very nice, look at the rest areas along the bike paths and look at all the people riding down to the beach!”\u00c2\u00a0 “Look at the new Chedraui store”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was the perfect place to buy food and drinks for the pick nick.\u00c2\u00a0 What a great selection of food!\u00c2\u00a0 This is quite impressive for Tulum.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 It really is getting larger with over 5 banks, Bodega Aurrera grocery store also has opened, and many Italian, Argentinian restaurants are located in the downtown zone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So the new Super market, is located on the road towards the beach.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 What is really interesting is that it is right across the street from the new development, Aldea Zama.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Imagine if you are living in a house or say in a new property such as the Real de Zama condos for sale<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 the new Chedraui store is close enough you can jump on a bike and ride over to this new grocery store!\u00c2\u00a0 And it looks as if everyone is moving around in Tulum on bicycles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As we arrived to the beach road,\u00c2\u00a0 we saw so many bicycles tied up to palm trees, tied up to the road side where people would just park, walk across the dune and get to the beach.\u00c2\u00a0 These are some of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches.\u00c2\u00a0 They are wide, talky white powder, and the waves are large enough to do body boarding.\u00c2\u00a0 I could absolutely imagine living in any of the Tulum condos for sale<\/a>, jumping on a bike on a week end, peddling down to Chedraui picking up some refreshments, and peddling on down to the beach for the afternoon.\u00c2\u00a0 After, riding home to shower off and to prepare for a night on the town….What a life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We found a place to park the car along side the road and the above, the\u00c2\u00a0 picture shows what lay awaiting for us on the other side of the dune!<\/p>\n
