Motul Expo Fair
Location: Motul Date: July 9, 2010 at 12:00PM Admission: Free
Description: This is a fiesta in honor of la Purisima Concepción. If you have not been to Motul, now is the time to go. We suspect that the northeast quadrant of the Municipality of Merida will continue to grow in the direction of Motul and that expats should certainly become familiar with the area. The City of Motul is the birthplace of Yucatan's most beloved Governor, Felipe Carrillo Puerto, and there is a museum, as well as a monument, there to celebrate his life and mourn his death. This year’s schedule of events in Motul include:
Friday 9: Crowning of Queen Minelsi Salas Moo, with a traditional Vaqueria accompanied by the Orchestra Sonora Yucatan

Sinanche Fiesta
Location: Sinanche Date: July 14, 2010 at 12:00PM Admission: Free
Description: This fiesta is in honor of San Buenaventura. In fact, the Templo de San Buenaventura, constructed in the 17th century, is one of the major tourist attractions of this area. Located on the coast of Yucatan, just this side of Telchac Pueblo, the town you are most likely to associate with Sinanche is San Crisanto, well known for its mangrove swamps and tours. In past centuries, Sinanche was known as "el arbol de alacran" (the tree of the scorpion) and was part of the province of Ceh Pech. If you have not been to Sinanche and San Crisanto, you are missing a "must see" part of both Yucatan’s coast and history.
