A short story about our love for Los Ayala....
Our first trip to Mexico was on Valentines Day in February 2006. We were on our way to Lake Chapala which we heard was " A little piece of heaven on earth." However, we first searched for Los Ayala, to visit our friend Pierre L'Allier who had just bought a house there.
We loved the place....and stayed for three weeks at Villas Coronas on Los Ayala beach, instead of our intended three days!
We came back the following year, twice... We were lucky enough to find Villas Marena....we were caught! We bought a condominium and now we are true snowbirds. We live our winters in Los Ayala, Nayarit and love the warm climate, seemingly endless sunny days, and of course, the wonderful beach.
We truly enjoy the peaceful lifestyle and the genuine happiness of the local people, as well as the spirit of vacation and fiesta exploding from the tourists at each and every fund-raising event!
We have met many new friends... We are learning the language and a different way of living...We are now known in Los Ayala as "Papa Palomo" & "Mama Panchita", and we just love it!
Palomo is from the bird Pigeon in Spanish. Some people say it is a Palomo. Panchita comes from Pancho: Francisco
We hope to be spending our winters in Los Ayala, for many more years and see our small village grow the way it has started; keeping its' heart wide open to visitors...
