We (the owners & operators of Escuela Cooperativa) have been coming to Sayulita for almost ten years, and quickly fell in love with the town and its warm and welcoming residents. We wanted to give back to the community, so we started asking about opportunities for how to do so. Education has always been a priority for us, and we soon learned there was a real need for a tuition-free preschool for local children here in Sayulita. Thus, in 2016, we started holding community meetings at the cultural center to see if local families were interested. At each meeting, more parents came and brought their friends. They were very enthusiastic and shared their priorities with us. They asked many questions, and soon we had a registration list of 15 families ready to start in August of 2017.

November brings all kinds of exciting events to Sayulita, including my personal favorite, the seasonal opening of the Mercado del Pueblo. This year of 2018, our own farmer’s market will open on November 2nd, and will hold the same hours as in years past, opening at 10:00 a.m. and closing at 2:00 p.m. The Mercado is lucky enough to remain in its incredible location which offers shade and lots of greenery! As many of you know, the Mercado is open every Friday from November until the end of April, and can be found on Calle Revolucion, just North of the main bridge. Parking can be found in the campo (the baseball field).
