Puerto Agua Verde

Three and a half hours after leaving MEX 1 we finally arrived in Agua Verde, a quiet fishing town in a beautiful location, with volcanic rock rising up out of the sea, and a few colourful houses. We headed to the little beach on the spit north of town, pushing our bikes along a sandy, then cobble 'road'. Sweaty and exhausted we collapsed onto the beach after chatting briefly with the old tio (uncle) who lives in a little house on the beach. We set up our tent and cooked dinner, then fell asleep to the sound of waves gently lapping along the shore in this well-sheltered bay. In the morning we woke up to the sound of the horses arriving on the beach and saw the mini-cruise ship in the bay along with a handful of sailboats we'd seen the day before. Despite our long challenging ride to this quite remote place there were still others that found their way there (by easier means as well!), but we took it all in stride, chatting with the caballeros and other boaters while we enjoyed the beautiful beach.Read more
