You've got a great sense of humor, Esteban! "No Mexicans"? "Millions of real estate offices"! Seriously, I know what you mean because I was in Sayulita six years ago. But it's all relative. We looked in P.V. and south down to Boca de Tomatlan for 3 or 4 years before discovering Sayulita for ourselves and we love it. When we first came to the village we met several people who had been there for 10 to 20 years and were complaining about all the new development while planning their next relocations. Some of them have gone off to Nicaragua and Panama, while others are still here. Fonatur has designated Sayulita as the quaint, bohemian village that the folks in their "Riviera Nayarit" gated communities can visit when they get bored with their manicures and golf. There are some disturbing trends in the village toward larger homes and developments, which I suppose is inevitable, given the huge forces of development spreading north from Punta Mita. But it's all relative and subjective. When a beautiful, relatively underpriced place begins to garner the kind of media attention that has been lavished on Sayulita, the result is creeping development. Frankly, we don't mind it so much. Having lived in Greenwich Village, Berkeley and Ibiza, it's still a small village to us. BTW, we are having dinner with some actual Mexicans this week. I'll let you know where the rest are hiding next week. And don't worry about all the real estate agencies...soon there will be no land left to sell!
