Colors of Cozumel - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle
Local people are very friendly, sociable and cheerful. On the island of Cozumel, all travelers feel like welcome guests. Here they will be willingly introduced to all the subtleties of the local culture. In spite of the friendliness and hospitality, the natives are quite wary of foreign tourists communicating in Spanish or American style. Such an increased vigilance is associated with a long colonial period, which became one of the most difficult historical stages for Cozumel Island.
The islanders are distinguished by a deep sense of patriotism, which is peculiar to people of different ages. All national holidays are celebrated here on a grand scale and important historical dates are treated with great respect. One of the interesting features of Cozumel residents is an open and sincere smile, which never leaves their faces. Tourists may find this kind of behavior quite unusual, as almost every conversation here is accompanied by a wide smile. This feature is especially common in small provincial areas where even strangers are welcomed with a smile.
