I was born in San Francisco, better known as San Pancho. I\u2019ve lived here my whole life. My family, well, my uncles, were some of the people who founded Sayulita. When I was 15 I moved to Puerto Vallarta to finish my studies, got two diplomas and my career started as an accountant. A couple years later I married and moved to Bucerias with my husband where I continued working as an accountant.<\/p>\n
Many things, Sayulita was very different when I was growing up. As kids we had so much freedom because it was such a safe town. The only things our parents had to worry about were us swimming too deep in the ocean (since my mom was not a great swimmer) and that we made it home at a decent time, but I always got home late! I loved going to the \u201cpilitas” or the beach in front of Coste\u00f1os, where I would play with my friends. I loved to swim. If it got late I would stay at Coste\u00f1os with my cousin and my mom would come by to find me. The plaza was also our playground, as it was super tranquil and safe. We all would play there. Our kids can\u2019t do that anymore since it\u2019s not the same as it used to be, and not as safe. You\u2019ll hardly ever see people from town there unless it\u2019s a festive holiday or a local event.<\/p>\n
<\/em>I have a birria stand downtown, right by the bridge on the left hand side. I cook the birria all night and have it ready each morning for the best tacos in town!<\/p>\n
In 2016 I finished a job and that was the year we opened the birria stand. My husband and I had a \u201cpipa de agua\u201d and it was a very competitive market, so we came to Sayulita during Semana Santa. My sister asked me to help her out at her own business, so me and my husband came to help. While I was here, my mother suggested I should start my own business as it would do well. My brother Cheyo lent us the space, and at first we opened a Carnitas stand while I continued working as an accountant. Once I finished that job, I opened my birria stand.<\/p>\n
You can see a positive change in sales, Gracias a Dios. There is tourism that I like, some years ago we were getting some tourism that wasn\u2019t so positive for the town. Now we have all kinds of people, and many are respectful of the town.<\/p>\n
There are many ways to respect the town, being clean, buying locally, things like that. I think there are other things impacting Sayulita in a negative way, like the \u201cgame\u201d tents in the plaza, the lack of traffic signs and lack of parking. All of these things give Sayulita a bad name, and attracts the kind of tourism that does not support the town. At the end of the day, the plaza belongs to the town and town people, and the people that are filling the plaza are creating traffic and a lot of chaos. We have a lot of party tourism which also creates a feeling of unsafety to our family life. We should be guiding our tourists, helping them park legally so they won’t get tickets and helping them enjoy our beautiful town.<\/p>\n
On my days off I like to walk towards Questos, the very end of the main beach towards the north. I also like to do the shopping for the birria stand, going to get a coffee\u2026my husband and I like to take little trips to other towns as well, things like that.<\/p>\n
By the river everyone would tie their donkeys and horses and me and my little friends would go untie them! We would play in the plaza where everyone congregated. There was a Se\u00f1ora Tomasa who lived by EL Barb\u00f3n and we would go steal her corn! We were very unruly kids and had so much fun!<\/p>\n
Nac\u00ed en San Francisco, mejor conocido como San Pancho. Tengo toda mi vida aqu\u00ed, mi familia, bueno mis t\u00edos, fueron algunos de los fundadores de Sayulita. A los 15 a\u00f1os yo me fui a estudiar a Puerto Vallarta donde termin\u00e9 mis estudios, hice dos diplomados, fui a la Universidad y me otorgaron el t\u00edtulo de contabilidad. Unos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s fue que me cas\u00e9 a los 23 a\u00f1os y me fui a Bucer\u00edas con mi marido donde segu\u00ed trabajando de contadora.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Muchas cosas, en el pasado Sayulita era muy diferente. De ni\u00f1os \u00e9ramos muy libres porque era un pueblito muy seguro, la \u00fanica preocupaci\u00f3n que ten\u00edan nuestros padres era de que nos metieramos demasiado hondo al mar, ya que mi mama no nadaba muy bien por si nos tenia que sacar, o que llegaremos temprano, pero yo siempre llegaba tarde. Me encantaba bajar a las pilitas o enfrente de El Coste\u00f1o, ah\u00ed jugaba con mis amiguitos. Si hac\u00eda tarde yo me quedaba en El Costeno con mi prima y ah\u00ed pasaba mi mam\u00e1 a buscarme. Me gustaba mucho nadar. La plaza era muy tranquila y ah\u00ed pod\u00edas ver todo el pueblo, todos jug\u00e1bamos ah\u00ed. Eso ya no lo podemos hacer ya que no es lo mismo, y no es tan seguro. Casi no ves a la gente del pueblo junt\u00e1ndose ya en el centro, solamente cuando son las fiestas del pueblo o alguna celebraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Tengo un puesto de Birria en el centro de Sayulita. Yo hago la birria en la noche y la cocin\u00f3 toda la noche para que est\u00e9 lista en la ma\u00f1ana para vender.\u00a0<\/p>\n
En el 2016 termin\u00e9 un trabajo y ese fue el a\u00f1o que surgi\u00f3 la idea del puesto de birria. Mi esposo y yo ten\u00edamos una purificadora de agua y hab\u00eda mucha competencia, entonces nos venimos a Sayulita en Semana Santa. Mi hermana ocupaba una cajera, as\u00ed que me pregunto si la pod\u00eda ayudar. Me traje a mi marido para que el la ayudara de mesero tambi\u00e9n. Mi mam\u00e1 me dio la idea de poner un negocio, y mi hermano Cheyo nos prest\u00f3 el espacio. Primero abrimos la carnitas y yo segu\u00ed trabajando de contadora, y ya cuando termine ese trabajo puse mi puesto de birria.<\/p>\n
Se ve en la venta el turismo, gracias a dios. Hay turismo que me agrada, hace unos a\u00f1os ten\u00edamos un turismo diferente que no me atra\u00eda tanto. Gracias a Dios hoy en d\u00eda tenemos muchos tipos de turismo diferente, muchas personas diferentes.<\/p>\n
Hay muchas maneras de respetar, ser limpios, consumir local, cosas as\u00ed. La verdad pienso que son otras cosas las que est\u00e1n afectando Sayulita como los puestos de juegos en la plaza, la falta de estacionamiento o se\u00f1alamientos de tr\u00e1fico. Todo eso le da mala fama al pueblo y nos hace ver mal, aparte de que trae un turismo que no apoya mucho al pueblo. Al final del d\u00eda la plaza es del pueblo y las personas que est\u00e1n llenando la plaza estorban mucho el movimiento de tr\u00e1fico y le quitan tranquilidad al pueblo. Tenemos mucho turismo de noche y de fiesta, y si deja un poco de intranquilidad con la vida de familia. Deber\u00edamos de estar ayudando al turista, auxiliarnos para estacionarse legalmente y que no les infraccionen, guiarlos a disfrutar de este bonito pueblo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
En mis d\u00edas libres me gusta ir a caminar hacia Questos, el lado norte de la playa principal de Sayulita. Tambi\u00e9n me gusta ir a hacer la compra para el puesto, ir a tomar caf\u00e9\u2026mi marido y yo a veces salimos a otros pueblos a viajar, cosas as\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Aqu\u00ed por el r\u00edo ataban los caballos y los burros, y con mis amiguitas \u00edbamos a desatarlos! \u00c9ramos muy traviesas. La plaza era muy tranquila y ah\u00ed pod\u00edas ver todo el pueblo, todos jug\u00e1bamos ah\u00ed. Tambi\u00e9n \u00edbamos a unos huertos de la se\u00f1ora Tomasa por donde el Barbon, yo y mis amigas \u00edbamos a cortar elotes ah\u00ed. \u00c9ramos muy traviesas y nos divert\u00edamos mucho!<\/p>\n
