Walking About Playa … A Picture Tour of Playa del Carmen

Fifth Avenue Stroll - Part Dos

Has it been a week already? Let’s see if I can make it up to you. Last time I gave you just a little taste of 5th Avenue from Calle 4 north to Calle 8. Today, we’ll pick up at Calle 8 and head north to Constituyentes Avenue.

La Parilla is offering 44 different kebab and fajita dishes during their Brochettes (kebabs) & Fajitas Festival May 10-25.

This little nook used to house an ATM machine. Now it’s a car rental kiosk! Real estate is valuable on 5th Avenue!
