Full Name<\/strong>: Andres Gallegos AKA “Chito”<\/p>\n

What does your nickname mean?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For as long as I can remember this is the name I was called, I am not sure why but my family has always called me Chito.<\/p>\n

Age<\/strong>: 68<\/p>\n

Where are you originally from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born and raised in Sayulita, Nayarit.<\/p>\n

How long have you lived in Sayulita?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

68 years, all my life.<\/p>\n

What are the biggest changes you have seen in Sayulita over the years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many changes! The town’s growth, the construction of new houses, and the number of people coming through. Sayulita is not the quiet fishing village it once was.<\/p>\n

Where is your favorite spot in all of Sayulita?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coste\u00f1os, They are old friends of mine so I often go and have some freshly caught fish and shrimp. I also enjoy going to see the baseball games on Sundays, I have played with the Jaibos for many years, and I make sure to never miss a game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What have you worked in over the years in Sayulita?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I have done so many different things! When I was growing up, there was a lot of agricultural work, I worked planting corn, and harvesting the oil coconuts and lime trees!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have also worked as a fisherman.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was the deputy of Sayulita for approximately three years in 1995, this job allowed me to receive my US travel visa.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite memory of Sayulita?<\/b><\/p>\n

I remember back when there were no cars in Sayulita, there was no electricity either! We would illuminate with something called a \u201ccachimba\u201d an old gas lamp. The first car to arrive in Sayulita was in the 1960s, I was about eight years old, I can recall a bright orange and white car that came from Compostela, we named it \u201cOrange\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you could change one thing in Sayulita, what would it be?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’d like to see a calmer and less noisy Sayulita, but that’s just my personal opinion! Im very passionate about baseball and love going to watch the games so I would love to see some improvements and development on the baseball stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is one local insight tip you would like to share with our 40K+ readers?<\/b><\/p>\n

We have so many visitors nowadays, so I’d like the people who come to visit to be conscious of the trash and take care of our little pueblo.<\/span><\/p>\n
