I always know when the monkeys have come in to Town, we just see people looking up!
The best meteor shower of the year is tonight. We are just a few days shy of a new moon, so very little natural light will be out tonight. Las Catalinas does not have much ambient light, so I think the rooftop of Plaza Central may be a great spot to see it the expected 120 meteors fall each hour.
Cold front has also made it here to Guanacaste. We are in the mid 70s! Loads of sun and cool breezes.
We are very excited to announce the ground breaking of Calle Virginia #14! This design is by Sara Bega, one of the talented Town Architects of Las Catalinas. This is a schematic of the western facade. The whole street is coming along swiftly, it is going to be a wonderful experience to walk through ...
This rope swing is one of the most used pieces of equipment at Las Catalinas. It is so great to see people moving, jumping, climbing and swinging all over. Here's to being active on a Sunday!
The last few walk throughs are going on for Calle Cartagena #19. This is the first home to frame out the plaza behind the beach club, known as Plaza Celaje. The four other homes that touch this plaza are all underway. We will be very excited to complete the move in for the home owner in the coming ...
Hard to imagine, but this is our first attempt at a ping pong table. Hoping to make something we can keep down by the beach, we intend on making two of these and start pinging for pong with you soon.
There is a new roast in town. Get down to PVR and try the new blend Jake has created. In the last week, it has gone from really good to great. It has a really nice acidity and a bit of a punch when you step up from a single to double shot. The coffee may have changed, but it is still best enjoyed ...
It is that time of year again. The Reto is back! On this version, the segment is called the Reto Duro. There is an extra 5k on the route, and another 200meters of elevation gain. Follow the link below to see how the leaders are doing!
Those that ride our trails a lot enjoy using Strava. I was looking on there and see we have nearly 500 attempts on some of the segments. No doubt that being out and active on the trails is a big part of enjoying Las Catalinas.
This is my new favorite photo of Las Catalinas. It really captures the measured growth of Beach Town and invites me to go visit. I hope you like it, and that you come explore Las Catalinas soon!
Last night we enjoyed the combination of a full moon and perfectly clear atmospheric conditions. Tonight it is forecasted to be very similar, so make plans to get out for a hike, ride, or paddle!
So those little lips got installed on the Carlota Plaza fountain, and they work! Sara, one of the Town Architects, got the water to make perfect little droplets from those lips. Here is a video of the test. The sound is pitch perfect and it looks great.
This is a hidden plaza atop the Flats on Avenida La Antigua. It is one of those places you have to visit in Las Catalinas. The view of the rooftops is fantastic. The planter for the tree has a lip on it, which is at sitting level. This almendro tree provides shade, and adds to the beauty.
This time of year, the sun sets right between the islands. Once the bulb of the sun touches the water, it takes just two minutes for it to disappear.
Gelato at Pura Vida ride. I have a hard time not getting one, when you can smell the waffle cones being made.
