Arroyo Seco has a small town 5 minutes driving from the beach or 15 minutes walking,
with 358 habitants. It is a town where you will feel that you are in real Mexico,
since its essence remains intact in culture, simplicity and joy of its people.
Where you see the chickens running down the street, fishermen and farmers working
in contact with nature and where the families still gather in their streets at sunset.
The lifestyle is very simple and sustainable. The streets are dirt roads and around this small town is
