Isn SMA a quiet town of older retirees without much happening?
I don’t know where that statement comes from but I hear it a lot, mostly from people who have never been here. This is the party town of all party towns for the Mexican population, fiestas and parades going on every time you turn around, and the gringo population is far more active than any group over 50 I’ve ever experienced. This town rocks! Every day there are far more activities than any one person could get to, with live music and/or dancing going on each night in a dozen places for the nights when there aren’t art openings, concerts and plays. I’d guess there are at least 75 classes going on each week someplace, and always somebody is leading a tour to someplace else in Mexico. And friends drop in all the time, and call you up when they’re cooking a good meal. Often we have three party invitations a week. But you wouldn’t know it living out of Centro in one of those wealthier developments going up on the outskirts. Those who say there is nothing to do never venture out their door
