Large number of visitors arriving
Masivo arribo de visitantes.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Thousands of tourists visited on Saturday, including in some 50 passenger and recreational boats, with no problems reported by the Tourism office nor the Civil Protection department, the police, or Harbor Master. By 10am, groups of visitors were strolling the streets, visiting the shops, and renting golf carts. Traffic police officers advised the golf cart rental agencies to give their clients instructions to comply with the laws, before giving them the keys, in order to avoid accidents, because there still have been cases of minors driving, or people not well trained in driving, judging by some recent events that have occurred on the roads of the island.

The incident occurred on the eastern coastal road, near the new speed bump by the airfield tower, and affected traffic until it was towed away by another truck.

On March 20 at 6:30pm, a special Mass will be held at the Church of Immaculate Conception to commemorate the 500 years of Catholic evangelization in Isla Mujeres, The Mass will be conducted by parish priest Raul Sanchez Alonso, and attending as special guests will be Father Mauro from San Juan de Los Lagos and Catholic songwriter and preacher Roy Mendoza of the Nuevo Laredo diocese.
There will be praises, preaching and reflection; a holy hour and laying hands on believers in order to strengthen faith, with special recognition and remembrance of the arrival of the Christian faith in the first days of March 1517 with the arrival of Spanish navigator Francisco Hernández de Córdoba leading an expedition from Cuba which discovered the Yucatan Peninsula and the first contact with the Maya in the proximity of Cape Catoche. (Except for Spanish survivors of a shipwreck in 1511 who were enslaved by the Maya & later rescued by Cortes, and members of Columbus's fourth voyage who plundered a Mayan merchant canoe near Honduras in 1502.). At this location was built the church that is now known as Boca Iglesia, the first church in (North) America. according to (some) historians. The convent that was erected at that point is being evaluated for its possible rescue by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).There is an outdoor mass planned in that convent, which is in ruins, and once all the official coordination is concluded, it could be celebrated in May. The initial plan for the beginning of March was suspended.
