Ejido Neighborhood
On Saturday, we walked to the Peanut Pet Shelter for their weekly wash day. The shelter is located in the Ejido, a neighborhood on the west side of the highway. The word ejido means land belonging to the people or community land. In the past, in other parts of Mexico, some foreigners have lost their money when they unknowingly invested in ejido land, and later found the land could not be titled. Here in Playa, my understanding is that ejido land is being titled only to Mexicans. After land has been titled to a Mexican for a certain period of time (a year I think), the title can then be transferred to a foreigner. More information about ejido land.
The Ejido neighborhood in Playa is very diverse, and these photos are by no means representative of the entire area. Just a little glimpse.
Tortilla shop. The tortillas are made on site and are sold hot.
