    The 5th Avenue Adventures

    February 18, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Arriving at the city of Playa del Carmen we were recommended to take a tour to the fifth avenue, however for lack of money we decided to take it for ourselves so we lost, as we went to Cancun a few days before the transporter was no longer enough, we rented back a car in the city, we were traveling the fifth avenue, same that in my opinion was quite easy to find because now in car and with applications such as google maps life is much simpler.
    We found restaurants that were really worth it, some of these I will leave with photographs so you can appreciate more in detail of the places.
    In the same avenue are two squares!, one of these is the Luxury Mall and the other is the famous Quinta Alegria located at the entrance of this giant avenue.
    You can compare souvenirs and other objects in this store. Just in front of this square (fifth alegria) is a restaurant of Mexican food, same that I recommend to you in very very wide way, the tacos are delicious, if they are fans of the sauce for food I recommend them to try the ones that they prepare in this place, on the contrary if they are not of eating sauce they can ask for an order of snack, which counts with a kilo of guacamole and nachos to enjoy (same that they can add to the food that they ask for, either tacos or cakes).
    This avenue is quite quiet, you can park your car in one of the entrances and walk from there and as there are only two streets intertwined is very difficult to get lost in the place.
    One of the activities that I liked most about this place was the Mayan show that takes place in the park founders, you will locate it quickly because before arriving at the end of the fifth avenue you can see the sculpture of two mermaids, right there in the square are Papantla flyers and other characters to perform cultural and recreational events.
    In addition, if you have time, you can enter the beach.
    Near this avenue is Playacar, one of the most visited beaches by tourists and locals, due to the realization of events such as DJ presentations among others.
