I know you are out there, because my friends (in Playa) tell me so. I was back in Progreso again around Christmas and I did not spot any obvious signs of foreigners.. Perhaps the next time I’m in Progreso I’ll meet a one. However the main point (from this old and I expect soon to be obsolete comment) is not that there are no foreigners in Progreso (I’m told Canadians are a well represented contingent), it is that the population density of foreigners is low compared to Playa.
Certainly the Malecon is a good example, look around you at the beach in Playa and then look around you on the Malecon at Progreso. No comparison. Its like another country.
And if I am wrong about that, speak up, I’m still learning about Mexico.
Things in southern Mexico are changing fast and old comment on a subject like this may soon look like an old real estate ad. Completely outdated and incorrect.
…..and I am so glad to see foreigners enjoying Progreso, it is a very cute town. I like to drive the entire coast east from there whenever I get the chance. You’ll find at least one trip report if you do a search.
If you see me in town please say Hi. I’m still betting mine is the only big white SUV with the CA plates you’ll see in Progreso (but not the only one you'll see in Playa). But things are changing…………….
