COMUNIDAD

U

na comunidad es un grupo o conjunto de individuos que comparten elementos en común, tales como un idioma, costumbres, valores, visión del mundo, necesidades, roles, etc.

Ask about:

Por lo general en una comunidad se crea una identidad común, mediante la diferenciación de otros grupos o comunidades (generalmente por signos o acciones), que es compartida y elaborada entre sus integrantes y socializada.

Hola, I am Os Costa Rican Physical Therapist & Spanish Teacher Certified & Experienced

Generalmente, una comunidad se une bajo la necesidad o meta de un objetivo en común, como puede ser el bien común; si bien esto no es algo necesario, basta una identidad común para conformar una comunidad sin la necesidad de un objetivo específico.

Manuel Antonio Gaymap Pag 10 What to do in te Green Season?

* Playita is the name given by locals to one of the beaches in Manuel Antonio which attracts a high concentration of gay and lesbians from Costa Rica and visitors from all over the world. This beach is accessible just two hours before and after high tide.

Este 30 de junio es la Marcha Pacífica del Orgullo LGBT (Gay Pride) en San José y necesitamos que TODOS digan presente de una y otra forma para hacernos sentir y que todo lo que está en juego sea una realidad.

What to do in the Green Season?

A

By Don Willems

pancakes to “Gallo Pinto” (the traditional Costa Rican breakfast)

t this time of year, it rains frequently in Quepos and Manuel Antonio.

While outdoor activities can be more limited, a little planning will ensure that you will enjoy your visit. The mornings are mostly clear and sunny. Try to wake up early so that you can enjoy your outdoor activities during this time of day. Here are some suggestions of things to do during the “Wet” season.

Take a hike in Manuel Antonio National Park. Even if it a bit rainy, the beauty of this park is quite impressive and is well worth some exploration. The park is open daily, Tuesday thru Sunday, from 7am till 4pm, closed on Mondays.

On Saturday mornings, (5am till noon), take a trip up to downtown Quepos. They have a wonderful Fruit Market with all the varieties of fruits and vegetables that are grown in Costa Rica at this time of the year.

While you are in Quepos, enjoy a traditional Costa Rican style breakfast in the Central Market or stop for some fashion shopping in the locals boutique on the main street of the town.

Mogambo opens Tuesdays to Sundays at 4 pm. This bar has a nice view of the ocean.

Enjoy sunset while having a cocktail, and meeting new people. Liquid Lounge is the discotheque and has a live dj playing great dance music Thursdays to Sundays from 9 pm till 2 am.

Every Wednesday, Villa Roca invites you to their Open Pool, from 4 pm till 8 pm, with Happy Hour from 4 till 5.

Rainbow Lounge opens their club daily from 11am until 11pm. Also enjoy the pool with cocktails and food. This is the first membership club in Manuel Antonio.

Raining outside? Workout is one option. Take a taxi to the Gym Mucho Musculo, located just down the last hill before entering Quepos. The gym charges a modest fee of 2000 colones and is open Monday thru Friday, from 6am till 8pm. Saturdays the gym is open until noon, and they are closed on Sundays. Phone: 2777-3400. Work those biceps, crunch those abs, and by all means, don’t forget to firm up those BUNS.

A trip to the beach during the mornings and early afternoons hours, is very pleasant.

Walk down the beach near Manuel Antonio Park. Have breakfast at one of the restaurants on the beach. Many are open at 6am, and have menu selections that range from

And our favorite indoor activity…We’ll just leave that to your imaginations. n

Starting July 5th, Hotel California hosts a Rainbow Pool Party every Friday from 4pm till 8pm, with 2 for 1 coctails, and local beers for 1000 colones.

The locations of these bars are shown on the map in this publication.

Want to brush on your Spanish? Get out of the rain, and get into the classroom. Enroll in one of the local Spanish schools or get some private lessons from one of the personal instructors, and you’ll be speaking with the locals in no time.
