1st Annual Ocean Fest – B Nayar Bucerias

First Annual Ocean Fest at B Nayar, Bucerias

The First Annual Ocean Fest will be held on July 26th at B Nayar Village Resort in Bucerias from 2-8pm, and this fun event certainly is attracting a lot of attention! The Mission of the Ocean Fest is to celebrate the ocean and collaborate on how to protect the beautiful Banderas Bay.
The Banderas Bay is a lot larger than folks realize.  Bahia Banderas Bay is the largest natural bay in Mexico, among the 10th largest worldwide, and one of the deepest bays in the world reaching depths of over 3,000 feet.  Extending across 68 kilometers (42 miles) of the Pacific Coast, the bay begins in the south at Puerto Vallarta, flows northwest into the Riviera Nayarit at Punta de Mita, then the open ocean water continues north beyond Sayulita and through Lo de Marcos  to Guayabitos and La Penita where the Bahia Jaltemba Bay resides. Our beautiful bay attracts a huge variety of wild life, including the Humpback whale, Manta Rays, turtles, dolphins, a huge variety of birds and so much more in and out of the water. Becoming more informed on how to protect our bay and everything that survives in and around the bay is important.
Did you know that the oceans flow over nearly three-quarters of our planet, holding 97% of the planets water? Clean water is vital for our Mother Earth and all the life it supports. Also, our oceans produce more than half of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere and absorb most of the carbon from it. No matter where we live – each of us affects the ocean and is affected by the ocean.

Jacques Cousteau
It was Jacques Cousteau who was responsible for appealing to the Mexican government back in the 1960’s to preserve Islas Marietas as a national park to protect its delicate Eco-system.  The Cousteau Society is an official sponsor of Nayarit Ocean Fest. Francine Cousteau says:
“It is always good to hear about people and communities dedicated to spreading awareness of ocean conservation. We appreciate your desire to share the work of the Cousteau Society, and to help spread Captain Cousteau’s message of preservation and education to the Bay of Banderas.” 

It’s time to put mother nature first and learn how we can protect our beautiful environment before it’s too late, like so many other polluted and fished out areas on the planet. This is why the Ocean Fest is a win-win-win project. Become more informed on how we can help conserve our oceans and have a lot of fun while your at it, AND the proceeds go to a very good cause!

A Non Profit Event
This fun summer Non Profit event is a win-win project with all of the proceeds going to an education fund for La Cruz with Fundacion Punta de Mita, which is a community development foundation covering the Bay. You can check them out at http://fundacionpuntademita.org/en/. Thank you for all you do! 

Co-hosts Surf Mexico raises the level on the fun meter with the first Nayarit SUP Polo State Championship Competitions. This alone is bringing in people from all over the bay; Sayulita is bringing the Sayulita Jr. SUP Team! The beautiful surroundings of beachfront B Nayar Village Resort makes the perfect location for this event. This is super fun for the entire family!
DJ NIco will be spinning your favorite songs.  There will be several booths on the playa with Surf Mexico, Neopolitan Brick Oven Pizza, Divine Mermaid, and E Sun Energy, and Pita Hache is going to give an Ocean Conservation Talk. There is going to be beach yoga, art for kids, educational exhibitions, more great local food,  and sand sculptures. Prana Colectivo is going entertain us with a Huichol performance. Super fun water activities; SUP Polo (great for kids too!) , Starship Racing, Sprint Racing. If you would like to learn how to SUP now is your chance to learn from one of the very best SUP guys around, David Jianu. Why not?

John Pounder (JL Ditigal Media) is the photographer for the special event. Look up in the sky for the Sky Cam! I can’t wait to see the photos. You will also be able to view them all on his site and order the ones you love with all of the action! THANKS JOHN!  I will be keeping you posted. You may also visit our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/allrivieranayaritfun/ and give us a LIKE if you like! :D

The date for next years Ocean Fest will be held closer to the World Ocean’s Day date.

These two people are folks with high integrity that you can trust.  Thanks so much Penny and Wayne for all that you do to support our bay and community. Penny, your one amazing gal!

Huana – The Best La Cruz Ice Cream

Delicious La Cruz Ice Cream at Huana

So have you tried the new La Cruz ice cream at Huana that opened in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in mid December 2014, located on Delfin Street across from Philos Restaurant?

This La Cruz ice cream business is co-owned by two brothers Hugo and Rodrigo Medina. Hugo thought about starting an ice cream business in Guadalajara where he was born, but decided on La Cruz in Nayarit because he wanted a change of pace in his life and because of his love of surfing in the area, not to mention his love of good quality ice cream. Huana sells organic ice cream in several delicious flavors and sizes as well as a larger selection of regular ice cream. The brothers plan on developing new flavors on an ongoing basis such as lavender, peanut butter and green tea. You’ll notice the deep, rich flavors of Huana’s ice cream immediately as well as the texture which is smooth, icy and refreshing.

You can also buy home-made granola, (one of my personal favorites as it has large nuggets of cereal and isn’t too sweet), locally baked goods including brownies, grape juice, coffee, honey and beeswax candles.  The new cappuccino machine is now in so come on in for a fresh cup of organic espresso, cappuccino or latte. (Photo of Hugo right)

It is the eventual goal of both Hugo and Rodrigo to offer all natural, organic products ranging from ice cream, to coffee to produce. All the shop’s inside decor including counters, light fixtures and display tables will be made from natural and/or recyclable materials supporting the philosophy to reuse and recycle – thereby reducing environmental impact. So come on out and support Hugo and Rodrigo’s new La Cruz ice cream business Huana in downtown La Cruz Mexico!

Bucerias Mexico Non Profit Community News

Every Day is a blessing here in Bucerias Mexico and the Banderas Bay.  This sunset on Tuesday evening overlooking the Banderas Bay to the Marietta Islands was absolutely spectacular, again! With the Christmas holidays coming towards us quickly, Bucerias Mexico nonprofit groups are getting their groove on with fundraisers to generate presents for the kids and monies and food that will be donated to families helping to create happier holidays and life throughout the year. I will say that feeding people is one of the most important things we can do to help another human being. Food is necessary for not only physical health, but also mental health and emotional stability.

Another wayone can help when flying down from Canada; West Jet allows 1 extra suitcase per person for humanitarian aid.  What is needed right now is gently used clothing for children and adults and school supplies. There is an orphanage in Valle that was recently opened with 188 children of all sizes and ages could really use the donation of clothing. Clothing also goes to the La Fuente church and the Tercera Edad Senior Center in Bucerias. If you need a inexpensive suitcase for this try a second hand store. You can find one for around 6 bucks! And leave it in Mexcio! Please contact Sandi Nystrom who heads up the John Ozzello Memorial Food Bank. Sandi  would be happy to get your donations where you would like them to go.

Children’s Christmas Program A huge fundraiser will be held at the Drunken Duck on Mon, December 8, 2pm – 6pm supporting the 21st Bucerias Children’s Christmas Program with over 1200 gifts given every year. The program also hands out generously donated candy bags to all the children. Mothers and grandmothers are also gifted with Crown Royal bags filled with hotel type soaps, shampoos and lotions. Donation: $200 Pesos plus all the raffle tickets you want to buy! Food, drinks available plus a great band. Tickets: Yo Yo Mo’s Sports Bar 40 Ave. Mexico – Bucerias Jan and Jennie Roden: 322- 222- 5101 xmasinbucerias@gmail.com Visit the little Catholic church on the arroyo (east side of Carretera 200) at 3 or 4 pm on Christmas Eve (Dec 24) to see the distribution of the gifts! You won’t believe your eyes!! I was able to participate in this event and it was incredible!  It really is truly amazing.

Another fundraiser coming up for the John Ozzello Food Bank is the 4th Annual Chili Cook Off in Bucerias on December 10th. If you think you make a great pot of chili step up to the plate and enter your chili in this contest! This year the Chili Cook Off will benefit the John Memorial Food Bank. They will be supplying the tables and chairs, cups, utensils and napkins. All you need to do is bring your best chili Wednesday, December 10th to 62 Lazaro Cardenas. Please register now at TheBuceriasChiliCookOff@gmail.com.  There will also be live music by Brit and Esteban, and adult beverages to cool down those chili flames.

The Amigos de Bucerias A.C. does a whole heck of lot for the Bucerias community, and I wanted to expand on that a bit in this article this week. The Amigos de Bucerias, A.C. is a Mexican registered civil association composed of members called “amigos” which reside mostly in Bucerias and unite to make Bucerias a good place to visit, work and live.
Their Mission Statement: “The civil association Amigos de Bucerias, A.C., is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the quality of life in Bucerias, in cooperation with all residents, elected and appointed officials, business leaders and visitors.”
Some of the projects they work on are the Beach Cleanup, Recycling Program, Paws and Claws, Special Needs Fund, Street Lights and also help support the John Ozzello Memorial Food Bank. Other organizations they help out with are the Bucerias Children’s library, Biblioteca Rey Nayar, Human Connections, Manos de Amor (Bucerias orphanage) and the Tercera Edad Bucerias Senior Center.
The Tercera Edad Bucerias Senior Center has recently built a large chicken coop for eggs.  Here is a small excerpt from the amigos webpage written by Amigo president Ronnie Barker, “When President Cirino told us of his plans to have a hen coop, we said, sure, go ahead, thinking, aw, sweet. But he and his seniors had bigger ideas – much bigger ideas! Using the balance of monies raised from selling crafts at the market \the Mexican ladies cooking demos, they bought the materials and the seniors set to with a will – and during the heat and the humidity of the summer, that is really something. Even as they were building, they were already acquiring some stock – provided by Manny Venegas, really cute little Easter card type chicks all yellow and fluffy chirping around.” Read the rest of the article on their webpage link: http://amigosdebucerias.org/featured/whats-happening-at-the-tercera-edad/) Since then the cute little chicks have grown up to be great egg laying hens, which means lots of eggs for people to eat!  Unfortunately, they had some issues with the last rain and lost about 60 of the now egg laying chickens due to an unfinished roof. Black plastic had been donated, but just could not hold up to the last heavy rain this November 11th. If you would like to find out how you can help the Bucerias Tercera Edad Senior Center or other projects, please contact the Amigos de Bucerias on their web site at AmigosdeBucerias.org. Their page is filled wonderful community stories, information on immigration, plates for your car and information to things that folks may need when coming to Bucerias Mexico. Cruise around and check it out. You too can become an “Amigo”. Join us at one of the monthly breakfast meetings at Ixta Restaurant every fist Saturday of the month at 9am, or send an email to amigosdebuceriasac@gmail.com  Cost for membership is 250 pesos.  Thanks for all you do Amigos!

Bucerias Mexico Home Furnishings

& Katrina Collection

North of the river and the kissing bridge in Bucerias Mexico is where many of the  Bucerias Art Galleries are located. One of the first large and new buildings to be created back in 2008 on Lazaro Cardenas is the Jan Marie Boutique building.  Jan states, “It was an exciting time in 2008 when we designed the building to house the new Jan Marie Boutique Gallery. As it was on the busy corner across from Mark’s Bar & Grill we wanted to create an attractive building that would shine on Lazaro Cardenas and give Bucerias an elegant touch.”

Presently, in 2014, Jan Marie Boutique in Bucerias Mexico has grown into a beautiful Bucerias Home Furnishings and Antiques collector’s dream. Everything from beautiful larger pieces of home furnishings to all of the fun home accessories to create beauty and grace  in your home or Bucerias rental unit with style and an elegance.

This season in Bucerias Mexico, Jan Marie Boutique has a very nice collection of Katrina dolls and Dia di Los Muertos tableware just in time for the holiday. These will make a terrific splash on your dining room table, or a Katrina doll as a collectible gift for yourself or a friend.  They really are fun all year around!

Dia de Los Muertos and Catrina’s History

La Calavera Catrina (Dapper Skeleton, or Elegant Skull) is a 1910-1913 zinc etching by famous Mexican print maker, cartoon illustrator and Lithographer, Jose Guadalupe Posada. The image depicts a female skeleton dressed only in a hat befitting the upper class outfit of a European of her time. She is offered as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolutionary era. While the original work by Posada introduced the character the popularity of the La Catrina as well as her name is derived from the work by Mexican artist Diego Rivera in his famous 1948 work sueno de una tarde dominical en la Alameda (dream of a Sunday afternoon along Central Alameda).

La Catrina has become the referential image of Death in Mexico, it is common to see her embodied as part of the celebrations of Day of the Dead throughout the country; she has become a motive for the creation of handcrafts made from clay or other materials, her representations may vary, as well as the hat.  In Bucerias Mexico, Jan Marie Boutique has a lovely selection of Katrina’s this season.  

Jan travels throughout Mexico  every year to shop for unique and one of a kind art pieces. The entire art selection at Jan Marie Boutique comes from Mexico artists. The Bucerias home accessories, such as beautiful colored lighting ascents, smaller sculptures (and full sized sculptures as well) hand blown glass ware and a variety of table ware, and so many other things of beauty that will make a statement in your home.

A New Bucerias Community Farmers Market

There is a new Bucerias community  farmers market in Bucerias this season on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.  It’s a bit different due to the fact all of the vendors are Mexican Nationals. The new market is called the Bucerias Monday Mexican Gourmet Market. Click on the photos to go to the photo gallery. Click on the links for more Bucerias information.
Check out the Bucerias Community Calendar for Bucerias community news, events and live music.

The Market is organized by Christy Ann Beguesse, a long time local of Bucerias. She states, “Our goal is to bring you the best in Mexican Cuisine made from the freshest ingredients in the kitchens of our Mexican neighbors. My hope is that with your support we can assist our neighbors financially and unite the community with a better understanding of the Mexican culture.”

Christy also helps support many fundraisers for food drives for the Bucerias community during the year as well, coordinating with other nonprofit organizations like the John Ozzello Food Bank, and Tercera Edad, the local Bucerias senior center, especially during the hardest month of September. This month is also called “Septhungre”, due to the starvation problems here during that time. Any time you feel like donating foods, they can be dropped off at the Art Walk Plaza.
If you are a local national and would like to get into this market, contact Christy at TheBuceriasArtwalkPlaza@gmail.com .

All of the vendors at the Bucerias Monday Mexican Market are  full time Mexican residents of Bucerias. So many locals struggle through the summer to make ends meet, and of course, not just in Bucerias, but all over the Bahia de Banderas.
This Bucerias community market will continue hopefully into the summer months if there are enough local people to come and purchase products.

Delicious Mexican Cuisine
There are some very delicious foods being prepared at the Bucerias community Monday farmers market. All of the foods are homemade authentic Mexican cuisine. Serving up enchiladas, fruit waters, fresh frozen chickens and ducks as well, along with chicken and duck eggs too!, artisan cheeses, honey, flan, delicious juicy carnitas carved right in front of you with the tacos piled high for only 10 pesos, (delicious with all of the toppings) beef or mushroom empanadas (enjoyed the mushroom!) topped with chimichurri and salsas’ that are cooked fresh and hot at the table, and homemade tamales wrapped in banana leaves.
A woman sells homemade banana muffins and other muffins. These are the largest banana bread muffins I have ever seen. I suppose they are bread loaves, in the shape of a large muffin; I can attest that they are moist and delicious. There is a medicine / herb table as well. In the corner a local Mexican artist with paintings along with the art and crafts that are spread throughout the market makes the ambiance colorful and fun. Out in front by Pacific Boutique Properties is a very nice selection of jewelry at terrific pricing, and delicious nuts…all cooked in front of you, like the delicious sweet caramelized pecans.
Its nice to purchase form the Bucerias community nationals. Living here all year around, I do see the summer struggles. It is a long summer for everyone here on the bay, as most depend on tourists every winter. These folks do know how to live off of the land, having chicken and ducks, gardens and crafts of all kinds. They have learned how to survive (sometimes just barely) and it’s nice that they bring their delicious and authentic Mexican delights every week to the new Monday farmers market. I love all of the markets, another favorite being the huge La Cruz Sunday Market, who also supports many of the local nationals and their businesses.

The products are at Mexican pricing…which means low! When you purchase from these locals, you are sure to know that your money stays here in Mexico, and trickles down to their families. Come on over and check out the new Bucerias Monday Mexican Gourmet Market. I for one had no problem eating my way from booth to booth….Buen Prevecho!

La Cruz Sunday Market / La Cruz Mercado

2nd La Cruz Sunday Market of High Season

It was Sunday morning and the La Cruz Sunday Market comes alive for the second market of the high season.  La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is located on the Riviera Nayarit in amazing Mexico. This is where one of the best Mercados is found…the La Cruz Mercado.
It was another hot day  and the early birds were already there. I drove in looking for a parking spot and with place pretty full, but somehow I always manifest a good space.
Upon entering the La Cruz Sunday market the band Expiral was playing English songs that everyone could sing along, mostly older rock – n – roll.  The ambiance of the La Cruz Mercado (market) was very upbeat and enjoyable with a good crowd.  The La Cruz market is held alongside of the La Cruz Marina, so the Malecón was lined with vendors of every kind of product all the way down past the La Cruz Fish Market, and down to the end of the jetty.

The venders at the La Cruz Sunday Market provide organic food items such as sunflower honey made in Guadalajara, and Organic Peanuts with Carahuate Carlos, (from PV), homemade Chimichurri and pickles..spicy or German style from Alberto are excellent.  Check out the home made jams….it’s fun to walk around sampling all of the goodies!
Natural homeopath items and fresh farmers market products also abound with soaps and body butter creams from Oxnards Country House Soaps. Great lip balms too!  and if you enjoy aromatherapy oils, many of the creams have them. Having skin issues?…come on over and talk to Greg.
Arts and crafts with many made from plastic bottles or recycled items like these butterflies! and oh so much more!

The good food abounds with many folks that catered to the North American and Mexican comfort foods. Sandy with Hand in the Kitchen Catering, who makes dishes you can take home when you do not feel like cooking, or at the end of the jetty there Hecho En Mexico Bakery..they have gluten free products this season, tasty breads and cookies and orange sticky yummy rolls. The  grill sizzles down at the end with the La Patagonia folks making their grilled steak sandwiches and smoked marlin empanadas. ,.soo good!..Cold fresh juices and also Coco Frio..I really love the cold  fresh green coconut juice.

Passing and visiting every vendor’s booth, I looked around and took in the fluidity of the mingling of different cultures, enjoying the combination of music, food, and the many various forms of art.

Many of amazing jewelers like smiling Chelow from Sayulita who makes fun jewelry, and Chantel, who makes jewelry out of spoons…very cool!  Art is abundant, and hosts a numerous selection. From the Yukon, Arte Metalcio, Ron makes amazing home and garden decorations that also light up out of metals, and other art projects.

Even though it was hot, they have tarps up for shade, and everyone along the walkway has umbrellas, making the market quite enjoyable. Its super fun walking through the market, sampling the goodies all morning. The La Cruz Sunday Market ends at 2pm.
While walking through the market, I ran into old friends, and made new ones as well!  Its fun to stop at Oso’s Oyster Bar for a cold beer as well on occasion.
Stopping at the La Cruz Fish Market for fresh tuna on the way out for dinner to go with the market goodies was absolutely perfect, creating a delicious meal for the evening.
The La Cruz Sunday Market,  officially named the La Cruz Mercado  is a wonderful place to be on Sundays!

Check out the La Cruz Sunday Market this season on the La Cruz Marina, located on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.

Bucerias  Airstream / Parked RV Rentals

Bucerias Rentals can vary on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.

At Los Arroyos Verdes, we have all kinds of Bucerias rentals, one being a  airstream (Bucerias RV rentals) for staying.  If you want to stay in our space, in something different, try the airstream. We also have full amenities at our RV park. If you want to bring your own house on wheels, you can do that too and stay here with us.

I love the Airstreams, their dynamic design, their ability to travel and they last a lifetime due to the fact that they are made of aluminum. When I began to build Los Arroyos Verdes, I always wanted to have an airstream in the gardens on site, for the visitors. And it turns out it is my most sold room, at $80USD a night; something different for your stay at Los Arroyos Verdes for  Bucerias rentals

One day, as I was driving around Bucerias on the main road, I saw the airstream parked next to a taco stand. I stopped to look at it, in its perfect condition from 1967. I asked the owner of the taco stand who it belonged to and he said “it is mine”. I said “yours??” and I asked him if he was interested in selling it. He responded “why not!”

I walked up to check it out and entered it. It wasn’t in the best conditions inside, but as the good architect that I am, a thousand ideas started coming to my mind about how to fix it up to make a nice Bucerias rentals addition.
“It’s Christmas” said the owner, “My daughter lives in it, can it wait until after Christmas?” I told him “Of course not, I want to take it home today!” In the end, we made a deal and I helped the daughter pack all of her stuff in boxes and I left with my shiny airstream on the way to Los Arroyos Verdes, which at the time was still completely under construction. We polished it, cleaned it, straightened it up, connected the bathrooms, water, gas, electricity, television and now we have another room at Los Arroyos Verdes, creating another fun  Bucerias rentals.

The airstream is surrounded by gardens and has access to all of the amenities if you stay in it.  Our amazing pool, gym, Bamboo Restaurante, Temezcal (sweat lodge) and spa. We also have a area specifically for pets! with their own dunking pool… So, come and stay with us, come and get to know our space, come and visit! Check out all of our Bucerias rentals, one and two bedroom casitas,  and our One Bedroom Villas  and Two Bedroom Villas, lofts and of course, the airstream!

Los Arroyos Verdes has also recently added their Two  Bedroom Villas for Sale.  Located 5 minutes from the Bucerias Beach and Bucerias Centro makes a perfect location for short or long term stays.

We are Mexico, Los Arroyos Verdes Bucerias.
