Labour Day Weekend 3

Carmen Chapel is one block from the beach. On Saturday (of Labour Day weekend), there were two Mexican weddings held. The first at 1PM and the second at 6PM. I don´t now if you can see the ocean through the arched window but it is a magnificent view! The chapel is in one of busiest tourist streets in Playa.



At any time of any day, you can see people in the chapel praying and reflecting.

This new chapel in Playa del Carmen was built 2 years ago. The ¨Virgen del Carmen¨is the patron saint of fisherman. Historically and still today, Playa del Carmen was and is a fishing village. Early in the morning, you can see the fisherman return with their catches of the day.
