What’s Up in Puerto Morelos! | February 21 – 28, 2020
Date: February 20, 2020
Is Puerto Morelos actually Margaritaville?
Only Jimmy Buffet knows, but I can tell you this — a lot of folks seem to think Puerto Morelos served as the inspiration for this popular classic tune. In fact, when I first started working in real estate here, several people wandered into our office asking where they could find Jimmy Buffet’s “old house” so they could take pictures… What?
Even if we weren’t the inspiration for the song, the truth is that you can find some VERY tasty margaritas around town. Whether you like yours frozen, on the rocks, salt, or no salt, sweet or spicy, there is a margarita out there for everyone.
If you would like to try a few of the best margs around, join us for the Margarita Contest this Saturday afternoon from 3-5 at I Wanna Pizza. Gabriel and I (read: Gabriel — he’s the mixologist, I’ll pour the drinks) will be competing against 9 other contestants battling to take home the title of Best Margarita in Puerto Morelos.
The event is a fundraiser for the animal rescue organizations in town and is being coordinated by JC Fundraising and our friends at I Wanna Pizza. For a donation of just 150 pesos you can help out the animals AND help determine who deserves the title of best margarita maker in town. Hope to see you there!
