| Latest News from the Puerto Morelos Community (Updated 1/14/10) Please be sure to check the what's happening page for weekly community updates from Cat Brown and the always popular newsletter from Alma Libre Bookstore Bread, Bread and more Bread Puerto Morelos is becoming the bread capital of the Mayan Riviera. In addition to the breads, rolls and cakes from the world famous Mama\s Bakery we now have more REAL breads baked and sold locally. Available at Casa Martin's Grocery store we have: Rye and Swiss Five Grain Bread by Chef Dieter ( bayernbrot@yahoo.de.) Delicious Banana Bread Pan d'Elote (corn bread that is the sweetest you will ever have.) and a nice hard crusted very doughy bread that is great. And at the Wednesday market there is another vendor of delicious German breads. Jungle Market and Spa (This update and photo are courtesy of Alma Libre Bookstore. Make sure you checkout their latest newsletter at http://www.almalibrebooks.com/newsletter.htm ) The beach is big, but the jungle is the place to be again this season. The popular spa is in full swing and has been running all summer. Curious clients from the big all-inclusives are being lured out of their overpriced spas and into the jungle. A much more genuine experience and much better prices! Market and Spa founder Sandra has come up with a new way to attract men to the massage table. It's called "The Mayan Massage" (also known as "The Mayan Macho".) Are you tough enough for the massage of your life? They have also installed a post so the masseuse can walk on your back (if you like). This is a very old Mayan tradition. The Jungle Spa is open every Wednesday & Friday. You can make an appointment for Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. Pamper yourself for less! Many treatments are available, from manicures and pedicures to a luxurious aloe vera and banana leaf wrap and massage! (or a chocolate massage ...does it get any better??) Spa prices are much, much lower than you will find at your resort or in town. To get pampered, just show up Wednesday or Friday between 10am and 4pm. If you can't make it on those days, try making an appointment for another day. Call Sandra (998) 208 9148 or Cell 044 998 180-5424. Closed Monday. The Jungle Market has also begun. Sandra and the Mayan ladies spent the whole summer working on a new show with new dances, including the intricate "Ribbon Dance" which you can participate in! The show begins at 11:30, but get there earlier so that you can sample some of the food and check out their unique souvenirs and gifts at the market. It's easy to get out to the jungle by car, taxi or collectivo. It's on Calle Dos (kie-yay dose) in the Zona Urbana, which is right behind the Colonia. Here's a map you can print out. Taxi to the jungle from the town square is 50 pesos. A taxi from nearby hotels is 150 pesos or $12 US each way. Tell driver you want to go to: Jungle Spa - Sandra (important to mention her name) Zona Urbana. The easiest way to get to the Jungle Market is catch the bus at the Mayan Handicraft Centre at 10:30 Sunday morning. Cost is just 5 pesos. Remember, when you pamper yourself at the Jungle Spa or buy a unique gift at the Mayan Market, you are directly supporting Mayan families! This is a very worthwhile venture and we hope you will support it. . |
