Marco Villegas from the Nosara Civic Association tackles some tough issues directly in this candid conversation about many of the current issues under harsh scrutiny in & around Nosara. We cover the Covirena program & enforcement of no dogs, motos or bonfires on the beach any longer, the situation in Pelada with longtime residents potentially facing eviction (or not?) as another hot topic happening around here, the new park by the ASADA building, streets, sidewalks, the updated maritime enforcement, & more.
