There is a place where life is an intense, profound and vibrant sparkle.

MAZATLÁN
Open spaces to cover roads. To amazed the senses, to discover new emotions. Roads that pictures the past. We share our memory so you can live it in the present, because here the eternity dresses memories.
It is a path in the middle of destiny, an Altar to reach and discover heaven.

Mazatlan is an adventure, a mystery of thousands emotions, a calm ocean, a wind stroke. We are sons of the light of thousands colors with thousands stories from other time from other places. We reencounter here with our brothers of journey. We give ourselves with joy.

Blue Shirt Team

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIfU5peFxcc&feature=related

Mazatlan has captivated many people along the years, Tourist after their first visit always come back. Some others just fall in love and want to move in as soon as possible. I can say that the foreign community has become locals, Mazatlan is really their home.

There is a group of foreign Volunteers who wear a blue T-shirt and you can see them any where in Mazatlan: Centro Historico, Malecon, Golden Zone, Down Town, Beaches; their mission is to provide of information or directions to tourists with the only purpose of making them feel welcome and secure. For the blue shirt group Mazatlan is home, so they really care about it, they are also aware that even tough Mazatlecos are great people, friendly and helpful, they feel more comfortable with the familiar language and communication style, tourist trust their countryman opinion.

This shows how much they love Mazatlan.

This initiative emerged after the unfair and untruth portrayal by the international media of Mazatlan as an unsafe place to live or visit, so they started to think on what they could do to help. Some of them have been living in Mazatlan for many years, some full time, some part time, even people who only come for vacation but on regularly bases.
Roger who is a trip advisor, asked if any one would be interested to do something, a week after they were having their fist meeting with 25 volunteers. They share their love for Mazatlan and know Mazatlan is not what it appears to be in the news.
They have made their own shirts and banners, the main purpose is to provide of information and directions to tourist, make them feel welcome so they know what a safe and wonderful place Mazatlan is.

“Mazatlan Tourist Aide Volunteers” as they named themselves, is an independent group, they are not affiliated nor sponsored by any business. Now they are close to 50 volunteers and tourism students from the State University are volunteering as well; The Sinaloa Tourism Office is providing training to the volunteers on places, things people and detailed information to support the great job they are doing unselfish, just one more thing to say to the volunteers:

“Thank you for loving Mazatlan”

PAJARITOS FROM MAZATLAN

The sun is setting in a warm afternoon, I hear the sound of the seagulls flying to find a place to sleep, and then I see the slow movements of the lazy Pelicans to do the same. There are a lot people cheerfully having trivial conversation, the fisherman getting ready to go out and the solemnity they do it with looks more like a ritual done for hundreds of years. Now I see the pangas(fishing boats) first dancing a waltz and as they go further they increase the speed until they reach their point of encounter with the fish; then they stop and turn on the big light and wait. After this everything will be up to their expertise, when they see the first fish sparkle in the water they know its time to fish.

This Phenomenon happens only once a year during May, it is now part of the many traditions we have in Mazatlan. This specie is known as California halfbeak (Hyporhamphus rosae) and it is found from the south of California to Peru, but it is in the warm waters of Mazatlan where they reproduce themselves. There are records of their presence since 1880.

In Mazatlan it is a great happening awaited for all locals, every afternoon they go to Playa Norte where all the fisherman take their boats and go out fishing for “Pajaritos”, this fishing has to be done only at night, and to attract the attention of the fish the fisherman make sure to have a big light in the boat and then they extend the fishing net to get them; from the beach it is a fabulous spectacle to see dozens of lights in horizon.

But the locals don’t go only because they like the spectacle; they go because they can get the freshest fish at a very reasonable price. This small fish can reach the maximum size of 11 inches but it is a real delicacy, it is usually cook deep fry and accompaniment (garnish) with beans and fresh tomato, onion, lime and cilantro salsa, you can enjoy it with just made tortillas. Mazatlan is the only place where it is fished so that makes it a very special meal.

There are many things that make Mazatlan unique and fabulous, we have a wonderful weather all year around, history and culture, wonderful beaches for all type of water sport activities, food and friendly people; in Mexico Mazatlan is the tourist destination more affordable than any other. For all this Mazatlan Real Estate has an excellent value and now is attracting a lot of the international investments.
