La Cruz comes to life… again!

This time of year marks a spectacular reunion of folks. The anticipation is marvelous; friends share return dates, businesses promote upcoming events, the theatre group is preparing, causes requests donations, restaurants closed for the summer reopen… and always in La Cruz, delightful music.

What really caught my attention and will please many is that there are more options for shopping. In addition to the Octopus Garden and Langosta Diez, Mare Nostrum have added a local artisan crafts area to their restaurants. Organic Love is expanding to include an organic artisanal shop with organic and baked goods, souvenirs, and crafts. Also, the La Cruz Sunday Market that everyone loves has opened a storefront so we no longer have to wait for Sunday to shop for local artisan crafts.

Schedule’s change all the time so check back here as needed as I’ll update as I learn more. What I know at this moment is;

Frascati, La Peska, Langosta Diez, Oso’s marina restaurant, Mare Nostrum and others have stayed open all summer, please continue to support them!
