Sisal Gets a Facelift
Have you ever been to Sisal on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula? If you have, you may be surprised to see it now. Over the past months, the State Government has been pouring money into upgrading and giving the small fishing town a new facelift.
Sisal was founded in 1811 as the principal port for the export of Agave-derived Sisal. Lighthouses and fortresses were built in the area to protect the village when Mexico obtained it’s independence from Spain. When the Sisal boom ended, the small town lost its tourism to the neighboring city of Progresso. Now that Progresso has exploded into a booming city, many people are looking to the town of Sisal to find peace and quiet again. Sisal is also known to have the best beaches in the area.
Sisal is about 30 minutes from the International Airport of Merida and has a population of about 2,000 people. Upon seeing an increase in tourism, beach seekers, and fisherman to the area, the State Government has decided to invest money into the area once again, with a focus on tourism. With the help of MexicoPropreties R Us, development projects are underway to make Sisal a tourist destination, for fishing and tourist boats.
Don’t miss your boat this time. Prices of beach lots are going up with new development happening in the area. Contact us for more information about prices and sizes of lots available and to visit our Oceanfront Gated Community. Electricity is now installed!
