On vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico


A few years ago I worked on a cruise ship that had its home port in Mobile (Alabama) and that on each trip visited several destinations in the Mexican Caribbean. One of them was Carmen beach, a spectacular place that is in the Riviera Maya, specifically to the south of Cancun. Playa del Carmen is a small city with a huge mix of cultures that are visited by tourists from all over the world, mainly attracted by its beaches, one of the most prestigious in the world.

The Fifth Avenue It is the main area of ​​the city and in it you can find a lot of shops and restaurants of all kinds. The gastronomy of the area is delicious, as is all of Mexico, although with influences from other cuisines such as French, Asian, Italian or German. You will find many bargains and local products of all kinds, plus its people are very friendly and always strive to satisfy all tourists.

But undoubtedly the most notable are its beaches, a true paradise for lovers of the sea and where you will find fine white sand and totally crystalline waters. In them you can relax in the sun to rest or also practice various activities such as diving, snorkel or windsurf. In addition, in the vicinity you also have areas for horse riding and places to learn to do yoga or dance salsa.

Playa del Carmen is a very complete destination where you can find everything you need to enjoy a vacation, also being very close to other places of great interest such as Cancun, Calica or Xelha Park (a theme park where the jungle mixes with a lake and you can swim among fish and dolphins).
