About this audio guide
This guide to Playa Norte in Playa del Carmen opens away from the sand, at a gravestone on Isla Mujeres carved by the man buried beneath it. He was Fermin Mundaca, a Spanish sailor who arrived in eighteen fifty-four with a fortune built on smuggling, and who poured it into an estate called Vista Alegre to win a much younger local woman known as La Trigueña, already promised to a poorer man from the village. Listen for the epitaph he cut for his own grave, a short walk from the beach.
