Following “the Low Season That Wasn’t” (national and international tourism was up, business was good, parking was bad), the coming High Season will be jumpin’ with even more people, events and activities.
Check out our November ANA Calendar, and save these dates!

Members of the ANA Board met this month with their counterparts in neighboring Emiliano Zapata, along with Tourism Director, Dr. Ramon Gonzalez Lomeli with the object of working together on projects of mutual interest, including beach certification, street and trash collection improvements, and this year’s World’s Most Beautiful Beaches convocation, which will include city-wide celebrations of Dia de Los Muertos on October 31.

Last month, ANA’s president and administrator met with their counterparts in El Centro – the heart of the Romantic Zone – to open lines of communication and find ways to work together on common problems.
While not quite next-door neighbors, our two associations have common interests and similar problems. Working together makes our voices louder.

Last month, ANA worked with affected neighbors to keep Calle Gardenias and Callejon de la Igualdad both clean and passable.
Gardenias had a major rock-and-mud spill, the result of too much rain and too little drainage. Once Proteccion Civil cleared the road, ANA and Las Moradas Condominium partnered to clean the street and clear the clogged drainage channels and culvert to keep the problem from repeating.
In the Callejon, debris left in the wake of an overturned water truck was removed, and the street cleaned up by ANA in partnership with Casa Cupula.
Sharing the cost and the benefit. Getting things done for Amapas.

Last Monday, Amapas residents got to see our friends the Bomberos – the uniformed guys from Proteccion Civil – in action…twice! Residents of Las Moradas, at the end of Gardenias, almost couldn’t get to their homes when mud, rocks and debris overwhelmed the drainage system and piled up on the street.
ANA’s Administrator made the call. And, in short order, a road crew showed up to clear the street and restore access.
The same afternoon, a water truck lost its brakes, and took out a stone wall, large tree, and the neighbors’ newly installed fiber optic Telmex line with it, as it rolled over onto Callejon de la Igualdad. The Callejon was completely blocked by the overturned truck and a mound of debris.
Police and Bomberos were quickly on the scene, seeing to the rescue of the driver, who was taken to a local hospital for a checkup. They emptied the truck’s diesel fuel and cargo, and towed the truck. Next morning, a Bomberos survey team arrived to assess damage to the street and needed repairs.
As we know, things don’t always happen quickly here, and the rapid response in both cases may be partly due to the good relations ANA has worked to foster with Police and Bomberos. It also might have something to do with the generosity of ANA members and neighbors who donated over $10,000 USD to furnish and equip the Bomberos ‘Casita’ just south of us on Highway 200.
Thanks to our friends the police and Bomberos for being there when we needed them!
At publication time, our Administrator is working with Proteccion Civil, Obras Publicas, and affected neighbors to get the streets completely cleaned, and the clogged drain cleared to reduce the likelihood of future backups on Gardenias.
