Very exciting to announce the ground breaking for construction of #10 Punta Penca. Design by Arosemena & Soundy. This home has a prominent position on Punta Penca, just past the intersection with Calle Virginia. The views of the roofline down Playa Danta will be very special from this home. We ...
The digital nomad | telecommuting culture is definitely present at Las Catalinas. We continue to enjoy having both full time and part time residents that are able to enjoy working from a distance. With multiple fibre lines coming in to Town, ours is a place you can create and connect without too ...
Town is starting to transform for the triathlon. Loads of competitors and supporters are arriving and starting to set up for the annual race. Hopefully you can join down at Limonada on Friday for a little carbo loading-pasta dinner!
The skyline in Las Catalinas is looking a little different these days.
We have our elections in Costa Rica today, for President and the Legislative Assembly. It is an important day for all of us here. Every citizen is registered to vote. We put most of our team off today, to encourage a higher voter turnout and will be anxious to see the results come in during the day.
Merch is here for the Triathlon. We will have packet pickups on next Friday (9th), followed by an orientation for the participants. We have a good number of people signed up, lots of relays and younger competitors. Leo Chacon confirmed a swimming clinic at 4:30 on Friday the 9th. The clinic is ...
Very excited to see a green crane being installed today. More details to be released soon about the building, but it is a very exciting next step for Las Catalinas. Once the crane is installed we will have to get a better picture to share.
Final items are being finished all around Plaza Carlota. This week we got the plaza planted with a few ylang ylang trees. Once they take hold, plaza will fill up with the aromatic smell at dusk that makes these trees so enjoyable. We see them around many homes in the surrounding communities, I am ...
Sitting in the rocking chairs this morning, and easily made a few new friends while catching up with old ones. PVR never disappoints!
Triathlon weekend is just a week away. Easily one of the most enjoyable times to be in Las Catalinas. Registration for the Triathlon is closing on Friday, or in the next 30 entries. Enter yourself or find a few friends to make a relay!
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week will have spectacular sunrises. Not because of the sun, but because of the moon. If you happen to be in Town, try to find a spot high on the hills around 5:30AM. I would say either the top of McHenry or Punta Guachipelines. Both spots take about thirty ...
We busy moving plants down from the nursery to behind Plaza Carlota. The landscaping effort will go up from the San Miguel bridge to the main road. This will be an enjoyable green area for the frontier of town. With some construction still ahead of us on Calle Cartagena, this green space is really ...
Final color selections for #14 Avenida la Antigua needed to be made this week. This is the building between Plaza Central and Plaza Lucia.
There can be rewards for waking up at 4AM to catch an early morning surfing session (or waking up for an early flight!).
The ping pong games down in Plaza Danta are on! We ended up moving the tables to a more shaded area, that gets less wind, and are in the process of upgrading the gear. We ended up needing the tele-handler to move these solid concrete tables. We tried with 25 people and it was too heavy!
The granite pavers we intend to use for Calle Cartagena and Calle Virginia are being prepped for their travel from Spain. We are hopeful that they will arrive in the next thirty days.
