About Festival Música Puerto Morelos

Festival Música Puerto Morelos began as a way to keep the feeling of a summer of open-air concerts alive after the stages came down. A beach town between Cancún and Playa del Carmen turned out to be a good place to watch music happen: small enough that you hear the soundcheck from the pier, big enough that something is always playing somewhere after dark.

What you will find here

Most of our pages are about live music and the coast around it. We write about planning a festival trip, what to pack for heat and sand, how Afro-Caribbean rhythms travelled the world, where to eat between sets and how to spend the daylight hours at the reef or in a cenote. When a jazz night on the beach or a local celebration is worth describing, we describe it.

The archive is wider than that. Over the years the site has also published pieces on health, home improvement, money and hobbies. We keep them online and refresh them when they need it, because readers still find them useful.

How we write

We would rather tell you how something feels and what to watch out for than repeat a brochure. That means no invented figures, no made-up quotes and no dates or line-ups we have not been able to confirm. Travel and safety notes point you to official advice, and health topics stay general: for anything personal, a doctor or pharmacist is the right person to ask.

Who reads us

Some readers are planning a first trip to the Mexican Caribbean, some have been coming for years, and some simply like music writing with sand in it. Whichever you are, the stage bar at the top of every page takes you straight to the part of the site you came for.
