This is Calderitas, Quintana Roo, Mexico !!!

Posted in Americas, Food and Wine, France

So we go on with some exotic parts of Mexico lindo y querido. I like to take you to seldom and little seen Mexico down in a popular State of a well known region but a bit south of it all towards Belize. Again, found a stray pic that should be in my blog and the reason of this post, I will be talking about this is Calderitas, Quintana Roo, Mexico !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

Calderitas is located 8 km from Chetumal (see post) and even thus seems close to Bacalar (see post) the road goes around the lagoon and is 43 km away, Calderitas is an eminently fishing community, although recently it has diversified its economy, mainly towards tourism. The beaches of this place have that beautiful turquoise blue typical of the Mexican Caribbean in addition to being a place full of history.

Some of the first Mayans lived in this destination and even very close to here is the archaeological zone of Oxtankah. It is the largest and most important pre-Hispanic city discovered in the Bay of Chetumal and is a marvel built with Petén style design. There is a monumental arch that is located in one of the main structures of the archaeological zone, Sadly no time to see this,

What I did was my road warrior mode driving around and coming for lunch at a wonderful place recommended by all and me , This is El Rincón de las Tortugas restaurant, along the Bay of Chetumal, wonderful fresh fried fish, fries, sweet bananas, yellow rice, and beers Modelo Especial, nice.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
