Ok, for Diana and me (memo) it may have been just another day in
paradise, but for our new friends Dave/Laura Lueck from San Diego, it will be
yet another entry into their record book entitled "Yelapa." My Yelapa
brother and proprietor of Okley Activities and Excursions, Fernando Garcia,
ferried us all to Corrales for the day aboard his sleek new boat. Now
geographically, Corrales represents the southern
entry point into Banderas Bay. It is a beautiful crescent beach with seemingly
only one occupant, a primitive restaurant off to one side. Well, this
"primitive restaurant" consistently crafts 5+ Star meals, most of
which were retrieved from the sea that morning. Allow me to illustrate:
Courses:
Courses:
#1 Characol (sea snail) Ceviche
#2 Thinly sliced scallops chilled and marinated in lime juice
#3 Freshly steamed wild rice with jalapenos/carrots
#4 Pan seared octopus, olive oil and garlic
#5 Grilled lobster garnished in butter and garlic
#6 Grilled red snapper also in butter and garlic
the coldest beer in Cabo Corrientes
While we were all busy snapping pictures as the courses arrived, by the time the snapper found its way onto our table, we lost all self-control and cameras were cast aside. There is no menu and the presentations vary daily based literally upon what is retrieved from the sea that morning. This is a must do trip with Fernando for any of you considering a visit. This trip to Corrales is one of many offerings through Okley Activities and Excursions. Check out what others have said on TripAdvisor; don’t just believe me. In my recent review, under “Memo,” you’ll find pictures of our feast. Try not to drool on the key board.
