LA PAZ, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, 06MARZO2020.- Playa Balandra fue elegida como un destino que va a dar de hablar en el 2020 según el portal de viajes TripAdvisor, mismo que reconoce su belleza, la define como una playa de oleaje tranquilo y paisaje con formaciones rocosas, con poca profundidad del mar, además de aguas cristalinas, y alejada de la zona hotelera. La playa considerada como una de las más bonitas de México cuenta como elemento principal con una piedra conocida como “el hongo”, la cual se ha convertido un icono de la ciudad. La llegada de turistas durante los últimos años se ha incrementado 600 por ciento, por lo que ahora las autoridades alistan un plan de ordenamiento por tratarse de un sitio de Protección de Flora y Fauna, de acuerdo a un decreto federal emitido en noviembre del 2012.

Are Thursday and Good Friday mandatory days of rest? This is one of the questions that people often ask themselves during Holy Week, a religious period that some believers in Mexico take into account.

What is the period of Easter 2022?

We must remember that this year Holy Week runs from Sunday, April 10 to Saturday, April 16 of the same month. For the Catholic population, Holy Week commemorates the passion, death and resurrection of Christ, which is why some people participate in activities related to the subject and classes are suspended.

Holy Week is part of Lent. This is a period when several people engage in worship activities. According to the data, it begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Resurrection Sunday.

During this time, dozens of people take the opportunity to go on vacation or spend at least a weekend visiting another state or holiday area, as the case may be.

Citizens choose to visit areas of beach or village s. These are tourist destinations either in natural regions, ideal for vacationing or places with incredible beaches for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, as well as interacting with dolphins.
