Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria Season Opening in La Penita

Posted on October 31, 2012 by

Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria Open with Dia de los Muertos Party

Its that time of year again as Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria opens their doors for their 6th year of business in La Penita on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico on October 30th, with their big party and seasonal opening on Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 2nd, serving wonderful appetizers and drinks at the Xaltemba Galeria located across from the Xaltemba Restaurant.

Mexicans celebrate their dead every year with elaborate art displays,  and its called Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead,  celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. At the Xaltemba Galeria this year, like last year, with a  wonderful art display for Dia de lo Muertos, Deb Drew is decorating for the Dia de los Muertos with mostly recycled and reusable items in honor of Eric Nice, who passed away this year, and was loved by so many folks. Eric Nice was known by many all over the Jaltemba Bay, as he was a musician, and a master carpenter making fine furniture. He was always helping everyone with fundraisers and played his music for many events and local establishments.

Roberto and Eddie
Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria is owned by founded in 2007 by internationally acclaimed artist Robert Gil de Montes, and former Telemundo (Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Area) TV executive, Eddie Dominguez.
They found the property in La Penita, tore down the old building and created the beautiful Jaltemba Restaurant, which is open 7 days a week from 5-10pm, and for breakfast and lunch on Thursdays, as the La Penita Tianguis is held in the town square and is the largest Mexican Tianguis on the Riviera Nayarit.

Eddie and Roberto, have been very involved in the local community since they moved here permanently 7 years ago from California after having vacationed here for over 25 years. Both are well-respected community members and leaders and are extremely active in the community service organization, Los Amigos de La Penita (aka Los Amigos), and Eddie is Past President of the Rotary Club of Jaltemba Bay La Peñita.

A New Chef at the Xaltemba Restaurant
The Xaltemba Restaurant and Galeria is excited to welcome the new Head Chef in the kitchen this season, Chef Jose Arturo Estefania,http://jaltembabaylife.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Chef-Arturo.jpeg from Guanajuato, Mexico. With his background at the Marival Hotel in Nuevo Vallarta, Head Chef at El Quinot de la Tarde at the Hotel Playa Ewcondida in Sayulita, the Hotel Riu Jalisco and many others it will be fun to see what delights he creates in the Xaltemba kitchen this season.

Xaltemba means the place of sand by the edge of the ocean (which comes from the indigenous language, Nahuatl; Xalli = Sand. Tem = Edge of the Ocean. Pa = Place). In addition to being a restaurant and a gallery (upstairs and directly across the street from the restaurant), Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria acts as a gathering place for both the local and international community offering talks, workshops and readings, and live music, along with the art gallery offering numerous exhibits and activities throughout the year. The Xaltemba restaurant is tastefully designed and decorated with a lovely outdoor patio, comfortable and welcoming, with an upscale look but not upscale prices.

For more information or to make reservations, visit Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria at Salina Cruz #4, La Peñita de Jaltemba, Nayarit, one block from the beach and adjacent to the main plaza, or at www.xaltemba.com.
There will also be Dia de los Muertos celebrations in the cemetery and the main town plaza. Enjoy the celebration of life!

Come to the Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria opening party on November 2nd, and celebrate the Dia de los Muertos in La Penita on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico, or do like I did and relocate to Mexico for life!

Papaya Abundance in La Penita Mexico

Posted on August 26, 2012 by

Healthy Papaya Riviera Nayarit Style

Here on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico we are blessed with some of the most amazing fruits, one being the papaya, which is one of the most nutritious of all foods and found growing all over La Penita and throughout the region.  There is nothing better than going out to your yard to pick a fresh Papaya, cut it up in chunks, or put it in the blender for an awesome smoothie with yogurt and a some ice. Taking only 6 months to grow from a seed that you get right from the fruit makes it easy and fun to grow your own Papaya tree right here in La Penita Mexico!

Papaya, which is the fruit of the Carica Papaya tree, is native to southern Mexico and Central America and is considered a “Super Food” now, yet the indigenous peoples of the Americas knew that this fruit was special thousands of years ago.

Culinary, Medicinal, and Practical Uses of Papaya

A small papaya contains about 300% of the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C. As with eating too many carrots, eating too much papaya can cause carotenemia, the yellowing of the soles of the feet and the palms. It is temporary and goes away once excessive amounts of papaya are no longer being eaten. Resembling peppercorns, papaya seeds are edible, having a peppery, bitter flavor. They are sometimes used in salads and can be ground up and used as a substitute for black pepper.

Unripe, green papaya fruit and the leaves of the papaya tree contain an enzyme called papain. Papain has been used as a natural meat tenderizer for thousands of years and today is an ingredient in many commercial meat tenderizers.

Papaya has several medicinal properties due to it’s high content in proteolytic emzymes, especially papain. Papain is used for pain and swelling, as well as fluid retention following trauma and surgery. It is used as a digestive aid and for treatment of parasitic worms, inflammation of the throat and pharynx, shingles (herpes zoster) symptoms, ongoing diarrhea, hay fever, runny nose, and psoriasis. Papain is also used along with conventional treatments for tumors. Some people apply papain directly to the skin to treat infected wounds, sores, and ulcers. Injections of papain are given to treat herniated discs. It is especially useful for those who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, since it reduces inflammatory responses.

Papayas have been used for centuries by native Americans as a remedy for indigestion and digestive problems (it seems to be effective in reducing gastrointestinal gas). In many parts of the world, unripe papaya has been used by women as a natural contraceptive and to induce abortion. Modern research has confirmed that unripe papaya does indeed work as a natural contraceptive and can induce abortion when eaten in large quantities. It is advised that pregnant women do not consume large amounts of green papayas. The ripe fruit is safe and does not cause problems. Like green fruits, the seeds have been proven by research to possess strong spermicidal effects, and may temporarily reduce fertility or be used as a contraceptive (don’t count on its effectiveness though). Mature, ripe fruits have been used for centuries as an effective remedy against ringworm, due to its antielmintic properties. Green fruits, on the other hand, have been used to lower blood pressure, and as an aphrodisiac. Tea made from papaya leaves is consumed in some countries as protection against malaria, though this has not been proven by the scientific community. Leaves are also steamed and eaten like a vegetable, and are used as a heart tonic, analgesic and to treat stomachache. Even the roots of the plant appear to have antalgic effects, and were sometimes dried, eaten raw or in teas to reduce inflammatory pain.

Papaya contains latex (the white sap that oozes out of an unripe papaya) which can cause an allergic reaction in people with a latex allergy. The greener the fruit is, the more latex it contains.

In manufacturing, papain is used in cosmetics, toothpaste, enzymatic soft contact lens cleaners, meat tenderizers, and meat products. It is also used for stabilizing and chill-proofing beer. The bark of the papaya tree is often used to make rope.

Growing Papaya

You will get the best results if you use seeds from locally grown papaya fruit. Sow seeds directly in the garden, as they do not transplant well. Select a sunny, wind protected area with well draining soil. Papaya need soil rich in organic matter and nutrients. Plant several seeds in the area and thin out as needed, keeping the strongest seedlings. Papaya are either male, female, or bi-sexual, which means you may need several trees for pollination and fruiting. Papayas grow great in La Penita on the Riviera Nayarit, along with other great tropical fruits like Mango and Guanavana.

Trees are often 20 feet tall, with fruits ranging in weight from 1 to 20 pounds. The papaya is a soft-wooded, perennial plant (actually and herb) that lives for about five years. The plant starts to flower five to eight months from planting and the fruit is ready to harvest five to six months after that. Many people simply cut down the older trees when they become tall and plant more seeds.

Buying Papaya

When buying papayas, look for ones that are mostly or completely yellow and give slightly to pressure. Green, hard papayas are unripe and will never ripen properly. Ripe papaya is usually eaten raw. Unripe papaya can be eaten if cooked and is used in many sauces and dishes around the world. The leaves of the plant are steamed and eaten in Asia like spinach,.

Today there are two varieties of papaya, Hawaiian and Mexican. The Mexican papaya can weigh as much as 20 pounds, while the Hawaiian usually weighs about a pound. In the 1990s, papayas were the first fruit to have their genome deciphered, and were the first genetically modified fruit for human consumption be introduced into the United States food supply (they were enhanced in 1998 to be immune to the ring-spot virus, which threatened papaya crops).

Riviera Nayarit Hospital Opens In La Penita de Jaltemba, Mexico

Posted on August 2, 2012 by

State-of-the-art Hospital in La Penita Mexico

Since opening to the public the first week of July, 2012, La Peñita’s Real Nayar Hospital has ran smoothly and efficiently. Built and directed by Dr. Roberto Robles Godinez Sr., this cutting-edge facility on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico is currently offering emergency medical care, basic health care, and surgical services; including a supporting laboratory, pharmacy, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, and personnel to support 15 patient rooms, nursery, and admitting.

This has been long over-due for the La Penita  residents and part time winter residents, and we welcome the new Real Nayar Hospital to the Riviera Nayarit!

Hospital Services

At any given time up to five specialists and four nurses are on staff. Emergency services are available with three ambulances, two modern emergency rooms, and a separate admission’s room. Labor and delivery services include one delivery room and supportive care for complications and treatment of infants; a total of nine infants have been delivered as of August 1, 2012. Besides basic medical diagnostic equipment, Real Nayar Hospital is equipped with Computed Tomography (CT scans), X-ray, and sonography machines, as well as medical monitors, life support equipment, and medical laboratory equipment. In addition to services provided, a blood bank is planned to open in the very near future. Currently, the nearest blood bank in the Riviera Nayarit is in San Francisco, otherwise known as San Pancho, located about half-way between La Penita de Jaltemba and Nuevo Vallarta.

On average, the new La Penita hospital is visited by 15 to 20 patients per day, with 2 to 3 admitted overnight. The main clientele so far have been people of the local community, yet this hospital has been designed to accommodate non-nationals as well. According to Paramedic Arturo Gomez Ortiz, no patient will ever be turned away and the hospital will accept international insurance. Most of Real Nayar’s doctors have come from outside the La Penita de Jaltemba, though local doctors can attend their patients.

Hospital Rooms

During a tour of the entire hospital, given by Dr. Roberto Robles Godinez Jr., I was impressed with the cleanliness of every room. There was even toilet paper in the bathrooms! Several of the private in-patient rooms, all located on the second floor, included a private patio with table and chairs, sink and shower, television, and a couch-like bed for the patient’s visitors. An elevator is available for patients and persons with disabilities. These amenities are something I have not seen in Mexico, though I am sure they exist. In addition to the amazing building and services offered, I was surprised by the warmth and friendliness of the entire staff.

As a full time resident of La Penita de Jaltemba, I have had my share of medical issues. With two stays at different hospitals, and assisting friends in the hospital, my experience with the medical care in Mexico has been mostly negative. So, its good to know that the new Hospital Real Nayar in La Penita is here for all of us!

I was reassured that family members would not have to provide 24 hour basic nursing care to the patient, provide basic essentials such as toilet paper and soap, nor run to the pharmacy looking for needed medications that are essential to a patient’s survival. I feel extremely confidant that medical care provided by Real Nayar, located in La Penita de Jaltemba on the Riviera Nayarit, is comparable to the same, if not better than, medical services I have received in the United Sates of America.

Directions to Real Nayar Hospital

Feel free to visit the hospital and say hello to the staff and Doctors Roberto Robles Godinez Jr., and Dr. Roberto Robles Godinez Sr., (right) who is also Chief of Staff.

Real Nayar is located 1 block south of the main avenida and 1 block east of the town plaza on the corner of calles Alfredo V. Bonifil and Bahia de Banderas.
The Emergency Room entrance is located on Bahia de Banderas.

New Law Flying With Your Pet in Mexico

Posted on June 21, 2012 by

A New Update on Airline Pet Policies in Mexico

According to the Banderas News: Information was issued yesterday and stated that pets and service animals WILL BE allowed in the airplane cabins effictive immediately.
The new Circular CO AV-07.8/07 R2 is only a temporary measure that will stay in effect until the new regulations are in place in the fall of 2012.
This is great news; however, as Mexico elections have just passed and a new government is being formed, there will be a new set of government officials to contend and deal with, as the Presidential election  was Sunday, July 1. So it is very important for all effected parties to continue their efforts until the law is formally reversed.

If you would like to register your concerns, please do so and contact the Mexican Tourism Board.  Explain that you are calling in regard to Article 2.1.2 (no pets in cabin) of the DGAC’s circular dated May 10, 2012 and tell them of your concerns, and you can also request details of any changes before you try to fly with your pet.

Mexico Tourism Board
From outside Mexico : 1 800 446 3942
From inside Mexico : 001-880-446-3942
Email: contact(at)visitmexico.com

Facebook is never far behind anything these days. Go and see what others are talking about and check out the photos.  Pets in Cabin Facebook page   LIKE the page if you do, and you can also post a picture of your pet as well! There are a lot of cute pet photos to look at..:)
Spread the word to all of your friends and families in Mexico, Canada and the United States and beyond.

 New Airline Pet Policies in Mexico

Whether bringing your pet to La Penita; or going home from  Mexico on your Riviera Nayarit vacation, it’s a good idea to know ahead of time what new Mexico airline policies are. Here in the Riviera Nayarit, many tourists end up adopting a dog and take them back home, or many folks like to bring their pets as they stay for the entire winter season.  Several Airlines as of late have changed their policies concerning pet travel and one never knows if those policies will change in the middle of your travels. Several airlines do not accept certain short-nosed dog breeds in cargo during the summer months of each year due to extreme temperatures that may exist in the cargo area of planes. Also, most airlines reserve the right to restrict all pet travel in cargo when extreme temperatures are anticipated.

Due to Mexico law, all animals must travel in a kennel and be placed in the aircraft cargo hold, and no longer into the cabin with them. Service animals are the only animals permitted to travel in the passenger cabin. Emotional support animals are not recognized under Mexico’s transportation regulations; therefore, the emotional support animal will need to travel in a kennel in the aircraft hold.

Mexico Regulations

Pets can be accepted for travel via Baggage provided the following Mexican regulations are met:

  • All pets traveling to Mexico are required to have a Health Certificate. Pets three months and older are also required to have a rabies vaccination.Your pet must have been vaccinated against rabies within 12 months prior to entry into Mexico (except for pets less than three months of age), regardless if the vaccination is valid longer in the United States or other foreign country.

    The Health Certificate Regulations:
  1. Must be issued within ten days of travel
  2. Must be on official printed letterhead with a copy of the veterinary license.
  3. Must indicate the health status of the pet
  4. Description shall match that of the pet (e.g. age, breed, color, sex, etc.)
  5. Must indicate the passenger’s name, address origin and destination
  6. Must state the pet has received a preventive parasite treatment or that they are free of internal and external parasites (This may also be indicated on a separate vaccination card.)
  • Mexico laws prohibit the combination of passengers and live animals in the passenger cabin except in the case of a service animal.
  • No bedding or similar materials are allowed to enter when packed in the kennel with the pet. Shredded paper or absorbent pads are acceptable.
  • Only enough food for a days travel is acceptable.
  • Travelers with three or more pets are subject to additional importation fees of approximately $1,600 pesos (approximately $150 USD) as mandated by the SAGARPA (Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock Production, Rural Development, Fishery and Food). Refer to the Senasica website for more information (in Spanish only as of June 2012).

Tranquilizers: Sedation is not advised since the effects of tranquilizers on animals at high altitudes are unpredictable. The decision to prescribe a tranquilizer for your pet should be made by your veterinarian.
Two other great websites about traveling with your pet can be found at PetFlight.com and DogFriendly.com

Recent Airline Changes
Following is an update on recent changes of the most traveled airlines to Mexico from the United States and Canada. In most cases you are allowed to bring your pet (small dog or cat) in the cabin, however they will need to go into the cargo hold to come into Mexico.  The best thing is to check with your airline for details as it seems Mexico often changes their laws which are not always easy to find, nor are they available in writing right away.

Here are some Airlines from the U.S. and Canada that fly into Puerto Vallarta

American Airlines: No new changes. For more detailed information go to: http://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInformation/specialAssistance/travelingWithPets.jsp
Air Canada: No new changes. Within the United States and Canada – cats and small dogs only – pet travels with you at your seat and counts as one standard item toward your carry-on baggage. For more detailed information go to: http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/airport/baggage/pets.html
Alaska Airlines: Effective May 1, 2012: Alaska Airlines will accept only kennels secured with nuts and bolts for transport in the cargo compartment. No recent changes have been issued. For more detailed information go to: http://www.alaskaair.com/content/travel-info/policies/pets-traveling-with-pets.aspx
US Airways:  No recent changes have been issued. For more detailed information go to: http://www.usairways.com/en-US/traveltools/specialneeds/pets.html
United Airlines: In March 2012, United changed their policy to ban nine breeds deemed aggressive. Responding to an outcry from pet owners, United Airlines rescinded the ban in May. United stopped transporting those breeds when it adopted the animal transporting policies of Continental Airlines. The two carriers are set to merge to become the United State’s largest airline this year. For more detailed information go to: http://www.bringfido.com/travel/airline_policies/united_airlines/.

So, be sure to check your airlines, plan ahead and find out what you need to do, and come have a great time on your Riviera Nayarit vacation in beautiful Mexico.There is nothing better than being able to bring along your best friend with you to La Penita, or any other Riviera Nayarit Destination!

Bring your pet on your Riviera Nayarit vacation, move to Mexico for life!
