After moving from one spot to another over the past few years—from the Casa de la Cultura, where it started, to Calle Pelicanos by the river, to Calle Miramar on the north side, Sayulita’s Mercado del Pueblo has at last found a semi-permanent home—back where it started, in Sayulita’s recently renovated and re-opened Casa de la Cultura on Avenida Palmar. With a three-year contract with the casa in her pocket, market manager Lina Weisman at last can rest easy about location, and concentrate on enhancing the market vendor list to assure that the customer base has a steady supply of the organic raw and cooked foodstuffs that the market has brought to Sayulita. > Read more

We especially love a parade when it is being staged to celebrate the arrival of Sayulita’s new ambulance, firetruck, and bombero truck. It has taken several years and a major effort from the non-profit Fire Fighters Crossing Borders as well as our local non-profit Grupo Pro Sayulita to get it done, but it has happened at last: we have our own small fleet of safety vehicles, and a new fire station to house them as well, by the police station on the road into town. > Read more

Our neighbors to the north in San Pancho just wrapped up another one of their annual music festivals.
