Tulum and Playa del Carmen Real Estate Blend a Rich Mix of Cultures
If you have been considering buying property in the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen Real Estate and Tulum Real Estate not only offer a relaxing beachfront lifestyle in beautiful properties, but also a wide range of activities and international events. Playa del Carmen and Tulum have been growing as international focal points, not only for tourism, but also for real estate purchases and permanent residents. This new international presence is reflected in what’s going on; Jazz festivals with musicians from the U.S. and Canada, Italian cultural festivals, international sports events are just a few examples.
Playa del Carmen Real Estate has become a favorite for North Americans, Europeans, and many others. As the international community has grown, so has the taste for international music. The Riviera Maya Jazz Festival has now been active for several years. This year included a pre-view in July, with an excellent performance from a well-known Italian singer, followed up by four days of international jazz on the beach during the end of November. Imagine relaxing on the beach with a refreshing ocean breeze, while enjoying some of the world’s best jazz – from Mexico, North America and Europe – live.
After North Americans, the largest group of foreigners who have bought real estate and settled down in Playa del Carmen are Italians. Recently the Riviera Maya Italian Festival presented Italian food and customs for the rest of the community. This lively and colorful culture complements Mexico’s culture well. Italian products were also promoted, reflecting the ever growing availability not only of all the products we’re used to from back home, but from Europe and other parts of the world as well.
Real estate buyers who are sports fans will always want to know what Playa del Carmen offers in this aspect. Soccer is Mexico’s favorite, which locals will usually call “futbol” (with a long “oo” sound for the “u”) in either Spanish or English. But the city’s international presence is evident with sports as well. In November, Playa del Carmen hosted an International Rugby Tournament with teams from Canada, the U.S., England, Belize, Argentina, and, of course, Mexico. Other international sporting events include fishing and golf tournaments.
Real Estate buyers interested in Tulum will enjoy the convenience of being only a short drive away from the events which Playa del Carmen offers. More importantly, however, Tulum is also growing as an international real estate destination, and will soon be home to the Riviera Maya International Airport. Several new developments, such as Aldea Zama, have been gaining attention of international real estate buyers. While both Playa del Carmen and Tulum include a significant North American population, they are distinguished from Cancun, just down the road, by also having significant European populations which are shaping and adding variety to the Riviera Maya’s culture, making for an ideal balance of Mexico and European culture, with all the conveniences and products North Americans are used to from back home.
