This week, in the midst of a very busy and completely full town, we are working on plans for a future neighborhood of Las Catalinas known as Las Cruces. This neighborhood will be up on the hills in an area that has quite a bit of relatively level ground at around 100 meters of altitude. The views ...
So many people miss their dogs while travelling, I sure do so! Everyone is welcome to join Pula & Bubbs for hikes in the trails this March. Every Tuesday for a morning hike at 7am, and every Friday for a Sunset hike to McHenry peak at 5pm. Meeting point is at LaPula shop, and they will be very ...
Today we had a sunset sail for guests... Great chance to explore the area by sea, get together and meet other families staying in town. With a little clouds, there's a pretty good chance of a fantastic sunset.
Spring break is here! It's been a great weekend with many guests arriving, and very happy with the sun, warm weather and cool refreshing water at the beach. It´s fun to see the kids enjoying town in different ways, here setting up their improvised relaxation area.

Walking along Paseo del Mar I noticed how colourful is right now. The Bougainvillea plants are definitely the ones standing out more.

If all continues as usual, next ones will be the Roble de Sabana with large bunches of fluffy pink flowers which ...
The joy of seeing new bikes in town! This is the first weekend for our latest full-time resident family. Tomorrow the school bus will pick up 2 more children at Las Catalinas stop, and isn't that just great!
For colour lovers it’s a treat to walk through town noticing the different stucco tones used in every house and building, and specially see how these colours change throughout the day and even time of the year depending on the sunlight and rain. These days, in mid Dry Season with such blue skies, ...
Calle Cartagena #17 is the last available home on this section of town. It is perfectly suited for a family looking to relocate to Costa Rica, and can be completed for the start of the school year.
The first few containers of pavers for Calle Cartagena and Calle Virginia have begun to arrive. There are still 12 more to come! Hopefully we will see four more arriving tomorrow.
The high winds are still blowing strong. The season of these "papagayo" winds is almost over. It is a little change that we notice living here year round. It signals the next part of summer, where the wind stops and the temperatures rise a little bit more.
Chef Carlos and the team at Limonada is putting up nightly dinner specials. Tonight he brought in a sausage made for us at Obando with pork-basil-rosemary. They are putting it together with grilled vegetables, corvina, and shrimp with a chipotle sauce.
