Last July 25th the 195th anniversary of what is called ¨Anexión del Partido de Nicoya¨ took place. This basically celebrates the decision of the inhabitants of what is now the province of Guanacaste of being part of Costa Rica instead of Nicaragua, being independent. Such an event took place less than three years after Costa Rica, along with the rest of Central America, became independent from its colonizer: Spain.

When you live permanently in a location, you tend to obviate the changes in your environment. However, looking in detail into the last few months, several good things have been going on in Tamarindo and its surrounding areas. Just a few days ago, a very natural incident took place. Last Wednesday April 10th, we had the first rainfall of the year. This is typical of the dry/rainy season transition that might happen as early as late March or as late as May in a regular year.

We are in the middle of our dry season and the question remains: “Is there enough water to make it through to the rainy season?”
Last year the water situation caused the AyA (Acueductos y Alcantarillados, Costa Rica’s national water provider) to stop the approval of water permits for new constructions in Tamarindo. The situation is and has been serious, but there is a solution on the way.

ABC Real Estate is located in the center of Tamarindo and that is not a coincidence! Tamarindo was once a quiet fishing village, until some adventurous pioneers and visionaries discovered its quality surf break, and the word spread amongst surfers across the globe. The growth and interest hasn’t stopped since; neither have the wonderful surf waves.
The founder of ABC, Jogi Jürgen Gerner, felt the good vibes as well and decided to root his company in Tamarindo.

The completely redone tract of the Inter-American highway consisting of 50.5 km (31.6 miles) is now ready and open. This is the road between the cities of Liberia and Cañas. Costa Rica’s national route N°1 is part of the Pan-american Highway, a route with about 19,000 miles, that basically crosses the continent from north to south.
Liberia is the main city in the province of Guanacaste. In it, the closest international airport is located. Within an hour drive, for us here at Tamarindo, the city of Liberia is on the way to the main northern border crossing with the neighboring country of Nicaragua (Peñas Blancas). Now that this new road down south of Liberia is open, it makes it an attractive alternative for us to drive to the central valley and other sites of interest along the route.

With the quality inventory reduced like this many buyers were met with this reality, and for about the last three years something interesting has been happening, people are back to buying lots, and almost immediately submitting plans to obtain building permits.
