Cheap Mexico Oceanfront Real (bad credit home loans) Estate Includes Spectacular Carnaval
No commentsBy Thomas Lloyd
Imagine owning an ideal piece of Mexico Land, but not just any old lot; imagine something on a beautiful beachfront. Our first reaction to this idea is usually that it sounds amazing, but who can afford that? Here’s some good news you can afford that! Cheap Mexico Oceanfront Real Estate is available in various excellent locations in Mexico. One example of oceanfront land with beautiful beaches is in the state of Campeche, right next to Yucatan and Quintana Roo, which is home to famous real estate destinations such as Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Campeche is growing in appeal for real estate buyers, and in its number of residents for the U.S. and Canada. Campeche Real Estate also gives buyers a great opportunity to live near a very beautiful, cultural city with a rich history but at a much cheaper price. One upcoming event which will interest real estate buyers is the Campeche Carnaval, celebrated every February.
The “Carnaval” was established in Campeche and the Yucatan peninsula in the 1500’s, and the carnivals are celebrated in the three days preceding Ash Wednesday. These holidays are characterized by an extremely festive atmosphere that includes everyone in the true Mexican spirit. Dancers wear elaborate costumes and dance every night of the Carnaval, which includes original music from Campeche. This music is called “The Guaranducha” which is also played in other traditional festivals. On nights of carnival, the dances are gala balls, except the last one, which is in costume.
The carnival starts with the burning of “Mal Humor” Spanish for “Bad Mood” represented by a dummy named “Juan Carnaval,” who takes the bad mood and concerns of people, making it possible to enjoy the festival freely.
The first Saturday of the Carnaval, called “Sabado del Bando,” includes a parade with floats from which streamers, confetti, candy and advertisements are thrown. Others parade on foot in costume, with humorous allusions to various current events. At night there is a luxury ball. Certain elements of the parade, such as typical banners, the “charanga timbalera,” the carnival bear, the bull are old traditions that are carried out to date, giving the festival a strong historic tradition. On Shrove Tuesday people celebrate the carnival painted with as many colors as possible.
Traditional dances are included from various aspects of Campeche’s culture, starting with the Mayan traditions. With the Spanish conquest and a general European influence, the result was Campeche’s folk dance, which is very similar to the Spanish dances. These dances show some similarity with the dances of old Seville.
The people of Campeche attend pilgrimages, both religious and non-religious, across from the church plazas. People also dance “la Vaqueria,” which is accompanied by a band called Charanga, made up of by 10-12 musicians. This is always accompanied by firecrackers and shouting. With this artistic and cultural background, the city takes advantage of of ingenuity and creativity to welcome its visitors and give the locals a place meet.
So, now imagine this; you are living in your dream home which you had built on the oceanfront. You can enjoy luxury life at a very cheap price, and on top of all that, you can enjoy the rich cultural heritage of the nearby city of Campeche, such as the annual Carnaval. But don’t imagine too much this could be reality …

Entertainment in International Film Festival
By Thomas Lloyd
Buyers searching Mexico MLS listings will find a very wide range of excellent properties available, and Playa del Carmen MLS among the forefront of the choices within Mexico. Over the past decade, this town has build a strong and real-to-life reputation for top quality real estate with excellent location. An important part of this is that Playa del Carmen Real Estate offers much more than just excellent properties; buyers here will find a lifestyle to match the world-famous beaches, with high quality restaurants, international shopping and many events and activities. One example of this aspect of Playa del Carmen is its growing film culture.
For real estate buyers who love going to the movies, Playa del Carmen has two new, very modern, large screen movie theaters, which play the latest box office hits in English. However, one aspect which MLS listings might not mention is that Playa del Carmen is also host to two international film festivals each year, for those who like to try out an international film now and then.
The Cancun and Riviera Maya Film Festival is takes place every November, and is shared with Cancun and Mexico City. It is the only film festival with an official competition and a permanent exhibition of movies about “Ecology and Human Development.” While this appeals especially to those who are concerned with pollution and related topics, there are many other categories and film types included. The festival has currently been in existence for three years. During the four day festival cultural and environmental activities also take place. In 2009 Japan was the guest country and had the honor of movies by the filmmaker Takeshi Kitano. By June, the 2010 program will be ready, which will include “Experimental Mexico Cancun Lounge.”
Another film festival is the “Underground Film Festival,” which will hold its fifth annual celebration in October, with four days of festival. At this festival, different cinematic styles are welcomed and encouraged, with competitions in the categories of Animation, Experimental, Documentary, Fiction or Silent Movies, which each bring together hundreds of filmmakers.
Besides the exhibition of short films during the festival, there are film workshops, samples of films, lectures and musical recitals, as was the case last year, the recital of Alex Otaola soundtrack to the silent film “Man With The Movie Camera” by director Dziga Vertov. All programming will be presented in August. The projections are organized in Playa del Carmen and at night there are jazz, rock concerts.
These film festivals are only one example of the many activities and events which take place in Playa del Carmen, which range from fishing tournaments to golf tournaments, to traditional Mexican holiday celebrations. For buyers searching MLS listings in Mexico, Playa del Carmen will definitely offer an excellent lifestyle to match the high-quality properties they find.
