three perfect day

There is some dispute as to how playa del Carmen the metropolitan heart of the rjviiera maya just 40 miles south Cancun got its name. Some say it’s after Our lady of Carmel the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as Patroness of the carmelites.But the more compelling story is the one told by locals.As legend has it in the 1970s and 8os when the  area first became a festoon tourists traveling by boat from neighboring  Cozumel would a disembark in playa then  known as a  Xaman ha on their way to the ruins of Tulum As local maya woman named Carmen would happily invite these travelers  into here modest home for a traditional meal of fresh caught seafood. she  may not have have had any  experience with  immaculate conception, but  when  it comes  to playa ,this carmen is definitely   a matron  saint. Today, here  spirit can  be felt throughout  the riviera  maya, which also  includes the village  of tulum, the ruins of coba, and  a number of small maya communities on  the  caribbean  side  of the yucatan   peninsula where , if you're lucky a woman not unlike carmen will happily invite you into her home for a meal.
