For example, the children have no classes for two weeks, in what it turns into a few marvelous holidays for all the Mexicans. Many people are the Mexican businessmen also who give to his workpeople an extra pay for Holy Week, with what most of the Mexicans count the hours that are missing for the Holy Week, and this way a kidling happens escapadita to the beach.

So, if you go in Holy Week to Mexico, and you are many people in the beach, do not worry. It is the most normal thing in these dates. Already for the next time you will know that Mexico in Holy Week is full of the people.

If you do not go to the beach areas, the Mexican Holy Week fills with processions and other celebrations of popular interest. Every village and every city of the interior of the country celebrates the Passion, Death and Christ's Resurrection. Nevertheless, not in all the places the traditions and the celebrations are the same.

In Mexico the Holy Week begins the Palm Sunday, and practically in all the cities Jesus's Entry in Jerusalem enjoys itself. During the rest of the week, the churches and temples prepare themselves to live through the Resurrection on Sunday of Easter. The Maundy Thursday takes place a special mass, to celebrate the day of the Last Dinner.

The special Maundy Thursday mass takes place especially at the end of the afternoon, in that the water and the oil are blessed at the time of receiving the communion. This night he devotes himself in Mexico to reflect on the human humility.

Red end; collection of flat virgins

We are going to cover a few only places for lovers of the Caribbean Sea, of the calmness and the adventure, far from the global, slightly different tourism to disconnect really of the civilization and of the cement. Natural beaches à la carte.

Spa of Anchovy

Spa of Anchovy

To the South-west of the smallest island of the big Antilles, Puerto Rico, we find an area of the only beaches, without scarcely building, practically virgins: Red end. To come so far is not so simple as to go to any tourist destination, but neither it is a typical place full of pother, thongs and cars. His beach areas are real natural refuges and protected jewels, there are no scarcely buildings, in all of them a fishermen's area, with wooden houses in almost all the cases, a small port and a forest green space.
Here the whole year is hot, but there is always breeze, to difference with the north, hardly ever it rains and at once one accustoms the body to be lived without almost clothes and to be in continuous contact with the nature. A sky intensely blue, without almost clouds and the radiant and giant sun, they do that the lighting is something special, without a pollution atom, and with the animal kingdom next to us.

Anchovy

This beach is most known perhaps by his activities, it is the fishermen's most ancient people, it is necessary to think about a small placita with a bar, giving to the small pier, has no port, the longboats are left opened in the sea. A street of which they salt several, there are no hotels, houses exist to rent, small hotels of Bungalows, huts and cheap hotels. It is a romantic, calm place but simultaneously exciting and very differently from everything. Some Americans inhabit it the whole year, the people who went to forget the civilized world and the pother, craftsmen who do costume jewelry, and the people that when you return they recognize because they take the whole life there. The tourism is of the proper island mostly, it comes a little of USA. the people who has there detached houses for veranear and to spend weekends, that's why there are several bridges as in Holy Week that the people fills, but skylight many people do not need, at once it is evident. The people ends where it begins the beach, therefore it is in fact a spa opened on both parts but controlled in the center that is a forest green space, neither cars nor motorbikes can be left there and it is necessary to unload the motorboats or longboats in the small port that consists only of a ramp.
They have the holiday of the large oyster, like reference to couples and the people with march desire. During the day the activities are tremendous, there are longboats and sailing ships to rent or to bring in in an excursion, with trips to islands and other beaches of a handsomeness without equal, beaches of those that we already see, without buildings, alone palm trees and without agglomerations nor agglomerated hammocks, there you have to wear the chair.
Diving, fishing, a big variety of sports and activities but with very different, not so tourist ambience.
The language is not a problem, the whole world is bilingual, the prices are very accessible for the change and because they are not so high as in the capitals.
You will see the people buying in the tables of adornments, hoops, rings, bracelets and clothes surfera, the bar has always musical out and well cold beer without need to enter, skylight also all kinds of drinks and combinations exquisite daiquiris and mojitos, but the queen is the beer, the marks protect and sponsor these holidays.

In the square you see how they bring the oysters, they are smaller than those of our seas, a warmer water, but much saborosas. They put in big tables of wood and buys a dozen, open them to you there same and as they give them to you you eat up them, without plate or napkins, this way with lemon. To the beginning of the beach there is only one I besiege to eat, it might call him a refreshment stall, but it does not come to that, they sell beer, living lobsters to do them to you in the moment, oysters and fish, nothing more, it is the richest, cheap and with miles of sea ahead. To eat or to have dinner we have the typical restaurants, big surfaces constructed on wooden columns inside the water, it goes over to a footbridge. The night is perfect to bathe, and to keep on having a drink, a holiday is created in the same street, with meringue, sauce, cumbias and vallenatos. It can be one very romantic and spectacular night, all this on foot, without motorcars.

From Anchovy we can cover several beaches according to the time that we arrange to ourselves and how much I won the love to us of his beach and his peace.

He visits the caves of the Bermudas

The Bermudas are known especially by his wonderful climate, the relaxing sun that sounds in the sky in any moment of the year, his crystalline waters and his beaches of golden sand. But: is this everything what we can find in the Bermudas?.

Crystal caves


The Bermudas there is one of the places where we can find more caves of the world
. These caves have been forming with the step of the centuries by means of the erosion of the water, which has been sculpting in the lime rock a series of cavities and tunnels, by what most of these caves are connected by the sea.

Many of these caves of the Bermudas lodge in his interior impressive works of art in the shape of stalactites and stalagmites. Also, they contain very curious rocky formations, some of them of big size, and lagoons and ponds of deep waters, rich in minerals and precious stones.

The result of all this has provoked that the caves of the Bermudas have turned into last years in real tourist attractions for all those who approach so far. You not to have left only knocked down in the beach, but to discover the natural treasure that stays at the entrails of the island.

Of all the caves that can be seen in the Bermudas, some of them stand out for his beauty and splendor. We have to recommend to you the visit to the Cave Cathedral and the Cave Prosperously, two caves you join, connected under the water, which is characterized by his blue lagoons turquoise. Curiously, inside the Cave Prosperous there is a bar and even a discotheque.

Perhaps one of the best caves that we could visit be the Caves of Crystal and the Caves of the Fantasy, in addition to the Cave of Leamington, famous by his formations of crystalline rocks and his underground swimming pools.

All the previous caves are in the area known as Hamilton Parish.

Another possibility is to visit the caves placed in Smith's Parish, like for example Devil's Hole, a species of natural aquarium where they live through fish, eels and turtles. The name of Devil's Hole, or Hole of the Devil, comes from the curious and unusual sounds that the water does when it penetrates in the cavities of the rocks, that some of them say that they look alike to the groans of the Devil.

Not that to say has that, if you have the opportunity to spend your holidays in the Bermudas, you have to approach to see these wonderful caves. A world completely different from what you will be used to be seen in the surface. It will be like doing a trip to the center of the ground in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.

Port Antonio, a paradise in Jamaica

For that they go for the first time to Jamaica, one of the destinations that you must not get lost finds on the coast northwest of the country. It is a question of Port Antonio, a magic destination, since it is placed between the Blue Mountains and the Caribbean Sea.

Port Antonio


Here in Port Antonio you will enjoy his beautiful beaches, wallowing in the Blue Lagoon, doing surfing in Boston Beach or proving the best of his kitchen in Boston Bay. Every day that happens, Port Antonio lodges more and more tourists. In spite of everything, it keeps on being a calm and relaxing escape in Jamaica, removed from the pother and the night life of Montego Bay or Negril.

It is much that to see and that to do in Port Antonio. For example, for only 2 dollars the entry, you can go to see the caves and the Frenchman's beach, one of the most photographed places of the area. This beach is one of the most beautiful of Jamaica, loner, almost isolated, surrounded of vegetation and cliffs. To sit down in his restaurant of local kitchen and to enjoy the conference.

Close to the Cove of French you will have the Beach of San San, an impressive place for the lovers of the diving. There is a part, Long Bay Beach, in which it is not recommended to bathe, due to the strong currents that exist.

As we were saying to you earlier, you have to go to the restaurants outdoors of Boston Bay. The Jamaicans say that one has never proved the kitchen of the country if he has not eaten in these restaurants. To sit down and to enjoy also the conference, the best place to sail, thanks to the high tides.

To swim and to give an intimate walk, nothing better than the Blue Lagoon. His waters color turquoise and green are wonderful. There are many that simply decide to lie down and admire the scenery, or do it eating from the Restaurant Blue Lagoon.

Finally, you can visit the Cataracts Reich, one of the most impressive waterfalls of the island. The water falls down of the limestone rocks, forming a series of lagoons and swimming pools to be able to swim. Of course, it is necessary to be careful because, if there are strong rains, you will not be able to visit them.

Now it is much easier to come up to Port Antonio, since in the last years there has been constructed a freeway that takes us even there. It does not surprise me that for the majority of the Jamaicans, Port Antonio is the nicest place of Jamaica.
