“No to the Tuna Farms” Festival will take place in Pavones this weekend (Saturday, June 12th from 9 am). There will be live music, a surf competition, fashion show, good food and chica (local drink). Don’t forget to sign the petition and donate large amounts of cash!
Costa Rica tops the happy planet index! We already knew it was a super place to be, now we even have the statistics to prove it. Congratulations Costa Rica!
Team Lighting Bolt has arrived in Costa Rica, without luggage and in shitty weather but with waves. They are heading for the Rancho (with luggage), follow them on www.lightningbolteurope.blogspot.com
Rubby and Britta: thanks for taking care of our paradise! They just left for Holland.. And to Otto and Charlotte (our new hosts) good luck with your super heavy assignment!
Oh yeah.. thanks to Charlotte all english content on the site should be readable for all! Thanks Charlotte
From the 6th till the 17th of June the Rancho is booked by the Lightning Bolt crew (there’s a good chance legendary surfers Rory Russell and Lightning Bolt’s ‘brand’ manager Jonathan Paskowitz will be coming). They will not only be enjoying the surf, hospitality and delicious food they will also be shooting footage for their next catalog. Sorry if you were planning to come over in this period because they have booked the whole place! We are looking forward to seeing our paradise in their catalog and wish them a happy stay and even better waves! Check out Lightning Bolt atwww.lightningbolt.eu.com
Recently we joint the Holland Hotels Costa Rica an organisation for Dutch owned Hotels, Hostels, Car rental agencies who can help you enjoy Costa Rica at its best!
Recently the surf’s been good and more is on it is way! Check the magicseaweed.
Local residents have formed the Asociación No a las Granjas Atuneras (ANAGA). They are undertaking a campaign to raise awareness all over the district for the tuna farms and to eventually undertake the referendum. Last week they
were in Caña Blanca and met with various Guaymi community members. Their next meeting will be on Feb. 24 and everyone is invited. They are also planning the NO TUNA FARM FESTIVAL again this year, same date 22 and 23 of May.
If you would like to follow the updates about the Clothes for books project you can check out their new blog here. The project still needs your support so if you come over.. still don’t pack to light.
A book about Dutch owned B&B’s, hotels and Lodges around the world just came out and of course we are in it! It’s in Dutch so may be a bit hard to read. You can have a look at the publishers website.
