ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Making a corn tortilla in the air is not as easy as throwing a pizza. There is a certain technique for what Costa Ricans call  palmeadas al aire.

So at the Festival de la Tortilla today at the  Colegio Técnico Profesional in Corralillo de Nicoya 12 local women will complete to see who does it best.

The event begins at 2 p.m. A second day of the festival is Wednesday.

Organizers said that the tortilla has an important role in the basic diet of people in Nicoya.  Marco Jiménez, mayor of the Municipalidad de Nicoya, agrees and notes that this festival is in its seventh year. He credited the long lives of some residents to the tortilla.

The festival will begin with a street parade involving traditional street bands and masks. Ox carts and drivers also are expected to attend, said organizers.
