Consejos para la ciudad
Costumbres y cultura
Remove shoes before entering someone's home, clothing
Take off shoes when entering a home; this is a local custom.
For packing advice : during the summer months it is not necessary to bring many clothing "layers" since the temperatures are relatively warm in the evenings and get pretty hot during the afternoons when not right on the ocean.
Qué empacar
Bring comfortable slip-on shoes, lightweight clothes
During the winter months I wear a long sleeved shirt or light weight sweat shirt at night. The attire is casual and beach oriented. Many people wear sandals called "slippers" which are flip flops and are appropriate to wear in any social scene.
