Walking along Paseo del Mar I noticed how colourful is right now. The Bougainvillea plants are definitely the ones standing out more. They are locally know as "Veraneras" (from the Spanish word for Summer: Verano) because the warmer and sunnier it gets, the more colourful their flower-like spring ...
The second edition of Las Catalinas magazine is out. We would be more than happy to send you one, but wouldn't it be better to come and pick up your copy?

Exciting (and busy) week at Calle Cartagena with 2 houses under construction very soon to be delivered, Casa 15 designed by town Architect Sara Bega and Casa 25 designed by Jason Bernard of Lake Geneva Architects.
Trees native to the tropical dry forest have started loosing their leaves and blooming. Usually the first ones are the Poro Poro trees with their twiggy trunks, and large yellow flowers. 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!

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.

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.
The view outside of Casa Teja, 12 Paseo del Mar, gets better when the monkeys are passing by. We are lucky to see these guys often, but I never grow tired of watching them move around.
Congratulations to Maria Jose and our rentals team for a successful trip to Los Angeles. She was there meeting with Travel Providers throughout the area, encouraging their clients visit Las Catalinas.
Exciting to see the next floor of #18 Cartagena going up. This is directly adjacent to the Beach Club, which will serve the plaza and street very well. The team at BCV Architects has done a great job setting this home up. Anxious to see it advance.
This photo is from the master bedroom of #9 Paseo del Mar. The top floor of this unit has a balcony off the front and back of the home. This is one side of the view, the other being the sea.
