{Ecotourism} Playa Avellana's Mangove

Guanacaste tiene bellos y paradisíacos lugares, algunos sin descubrir, uno de nuestros preferidos es una visita guiada por los Manglares de Playa Avellanas (vea mi post de Avellanas aqui), queda como a 10 minutos de distancia caminando por la Playa; una deliciosa caminata que nos lleva a recorrer los manglares a través de un maravilloso puente de madera.

Guanacaste has heavenly and stunning undiscovered places, one of our favorites is a guided visit by the Playa Avellanas' Mangrove (see our post of Avellanas here), it is about 10 minutes walking distance from the main entrance from Avellanas, a different walking tour that guided us to discover the mangroves through a wonderful wooden made bridge.

Thanks to our guests - Nora, Gracias!

{Food} Pizzería La Baula - Tamarindo/CostaRica - Review

It's been a while that i signed up for Trip Advisor and I haven't had the time (or words) to write some reviews about all the places -good, great and not so good that i visit. I always wanted to give my comments to support, prevent or advise others or simply to share my experiences. This was for so long part of my job while working for Taca Airlines, visiting and evaluating strategic partners such restaurants, car rentals, hotels, etc.

A while ago, someone recommended me the Pizzeria "La Baula"...and its such a delicious open air restaurant, as far as I've understood its ran by italians... that's might be the reason why the taste and ambiance is so great and the food is really delicious. Baula, its the name of the leatherback turtle in Costa Rica, and the National Park "Las Baulas" is located in Tamarindo.

Here's my Trip Advisor's Review:
"Best pizza in town, they need to improve the service level
...we like this pizza and we love to recommend good places: We went to La Baula, an open air and excellent pizza place. I ordered the pizza with mushrooms and ham, my husband loved the vegetarian pizza he ordered and my friends asked for prosciutto, the ambiance and decoration is great, however the service is slow (maybe because is always packed) and since they are under pressure, sometimes are not very nice (but they are not mean).
Prices are average ¢5,000 colones ($10USD)"

My delicious Pizza!

Next time do not miss "La Baula"
Bon Appétit :)

{Beach} Playa Avellanas, Costa Rica

Esta playa es una de mis favoritas, sus olas, su gran extensión y la quietud de sus espacios me encantan! ... surfistas por todos lados.Todos los amigos que nos han visitado se han quedado enamorados de esta playa tan hermosa, que queda a tan solo 20 minutos de la Ciudad de Tamarindo en Guanacaste.

So far one of my favorite beaches, i love the waves and vaste extension of beach. surfers everywhere...All our friends who have visited us have fallen in love with Playa Avellanas, which is only 20 minutes drive away from the city of Tamarindo in Guanacaste.

Una de sus ventajas es, que la playas no se encuentra llena de muchos restaurantes, tiendas, música fuerte en la playa, etc, que a veces impide un real descanso y relax; lo anterior trae inherente la desventaja de que existen pocos sitios para comer: existen dos solamente: Restaurante Lola's y el Restaurante del Hotel Cabina las Olas, siendo este último una opción más económica que la primera (ambas con excelentes opciones de comidas & bebidas). 

También, un buen día de picnic es una alternativa para no dejar de visitar y perderse las vistas paradisíacas y sus inolvidables puestas del sol!.

One advantage is that the beach is not filled with many restaurants, shops, loud music on the beach, etc, which sometimes prevents a real rest and relaxation; those things inherent disadvantage that there are few places to eat: There's only two: Lola's Restaurant and the Restaurant of "Cabina Las Olas", being the last one a cheaper option than the first one (but both with excellent food & beverage options).

Indeed, a good picnic would be a great alternative for not to lose the heavenly view and unforgettable sunsets.
