Tequila

After getting up we took a walk at the main beach and watched the surfers catching waves for a while 🌊🏄‍♂️ Then we went to another beach in Sayulita, Playa de los muertos. Named after the cemetery that is right next to it and that you have to walk through to get to the beach. It's just a small beach with a bit more rocky sand but also calmer.

Then we checked out of the hotel and continued on to a nearby town called San Francisco 😁 But the nickname is San Pancho because that's a short version for the name Francisco. Right after getting out of the car we overhead some people mentioning an iguana and as they pointed up we saw it in the tree above us. 🦎🦎🦎 He was very big and quite lively climbing around on the tree. Afterwards we walked along the beautiful big beach which is one of the best we've seen so far. The town itself offers a lot and feels a little more relaxed than Sayulita.

Our last stop of today's beach tour brought us to Rincon de Guayabitos, where we had intended to go two days ago before Ruedi broke down. This area was different than the others, because there were almost exclusively Mexican tourists on the beach. There were so many people on the beach and almost as many vendors offering typical Mexican snacks. We got ourselves some fresh fruit (pineapple and coconut) with a chili powder (Tajin) and had a little swim before continuing on...

It was a pretty short drive to the pueblo mágico Compostela. The most interesting places were right in the city center where we walked the main plaza. There was also a festival going on so we checked out the booths and got some sweets for the road 🍭🍬

The last stop of the day was to another pueblo mágico and world-famous for the distilleries, Tequila! Buut we had a little hold up because about half an hour before an indicator light went on 🫣 We called the rental company and they told us that we can come back for another car or continue driving. So we just drove on and will take care of it tomorrow. We drove directly to the Tequilera Hacienda La Cofradia to see when there are tours for the next day. But just as we arrived the last tour of the day was about to start so we could join in on it. The tour was very interesting and we could get a close up look on the process of making a proper Tequila. It took about an hour and was followed by a Tequila tasting and a margarita. And then there was somehow another tasting 🙈🫣 The people in our group were really nice and fun but as we didn't have a hotel yet we drove into town and got a room.

There was also a state fair going on, so we just dropped off our stuff and went into town. The city center was very busy with people and vendors which was good as we were getting hungry. For the most urgent hunger we shared a portion of salchipapas (sausages and fries) drowned in salsa and cheese sauce and at the fair we got a torta. We ordered drinks and walked over the fair but the day had tired us so we went back home to get some rest.Read more
