``Place of the World´´

Playa del Carmen  is a spa resort city just south of Cancun on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, in the northeast of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The city is the seat of the Solidaridad municipality. In the 2010 census, the city had a population of 149,923 people and it is rapidly growing in population. It is the third largest city in Quintana Roo, after Cancún and Chetumal.

Histrory

Playa del Carmen is named for Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who is the patron saint of Cancún. The first recorded visitors to the beaches of what is now Playa del Carmen came during the Early Classic Period (a.d. 300-600) of the Mayan civilization. Then called Xaman-Ha, or "waters of the north," Playa del Carmen was a rest stop of sorts for travelers making their way from the great cities of the Mayan world to the island of Cozumel.


The coast and lowlands of the peninsula were still heavily populated with the descendents of the fallen civilization when the Spaniards arrived.

This is a photograph of beach. I found it in internet. It was taken by proffesional photographer.

In the photograph we Can See the beach of ``Carmen´´
in the foreground there is water of the ocean, clear, nice and pleasant with people bathing, they enjoying.

In the background it has very yellow sand with people taking sun, playing the ball, the children doing sand castles and other people taking a walk.
More over we can see is park with high, green and pleasant trees.
Back of the park there are house of vacations and hotels for the tourists with view to the ocean, the view to the ocean is beautiful.

In conclusion, I think this photograph is pretty, nice and colorful, because it represents holiday and tranquillity.
