Up until now we haven’t seen coconut palms but in gardens, mostly cultivated for its beauty, not for its nutritional merits. As we reached the sea nea Barra de Nautla, we reached the northern limit of the Coconut Cultivation Zone. There are acres of coconut palms here.


At the side of the roads there are coconut stands everywhere. They are sold as refreshment or candy. As for coconut products, the range is lesser...


Everyone has the same product: a flavored sweet made of coconut and sugar. The best we have tried was green coconut, you can drink its refreshing juice then eat its jelly-like flesh. But of course, not without some chili and lemons.
