Over the past few years,
Playa del Carmen real estate has been one of the fastest growing markets in Mexico and Latin America. Along with this growth has come an atmosphere of an international community and lifestyle; this atmosphere has been developed through a significant expat community, a large European population (mostly Italians) and a growing number of international cultural events.
Coming up this fall is a relatively new event – an international culinary event called "Taste of Playa." Scheduled for November 21, at the park called "Parque Fundadores" just a 5 minute walk from the beach and tourist activity on Fifth Avenue, along the main access road (Juarez Ave.) This year is the second annual event.
Participating in the event will be many of the area's most talented chefs, with 40 restaurants, bars and hotels from the entire area known as the Riviera Maya, which starts just south of Cancun at Puerto Morelos and ends at Tulum. Along with the rapid growth in tourism and quality real estate development, the area has drawn hundreds of chefs from around the world, talented in preparing unique international food.
A broad range of restaurants will be represented, includin Babe's Noodles and Bar, which serves Thai food, Zenzi Beach Club, Zabor, Diablito, Cha Cha Cha, Los Aguachiles, Fusion and El Bistro de La Tortuga.
