In late April, the Gallo Pin® crew took a week off and headed Northwest, to the beautiful landscapes of Guanacaste. We chose one of our favorite spots called Las Catalinas, which is a beach town community in Playa Danta.

It started as a trip with leisure purposes, but it unfolded into a thrilling meet up with an incredible concept store, full of carefully curated items (Costa Rican and worldwide), called LaPula Shop & Studio, in charge of Iván & Mhari.

They were kind enough to refer us to Kaixo, a restaurant, and showroom created by Carlos & Sylvia, located in Playas del Coco, Guanacaste. We didn't have the opportunity to stop by and meet them personally, but it will definitely be in our to-do list for our next trip to the west coast. 

If you happen to be near one of these awesome concept boutiques, make sure to stop by and say hi! And, don't forget to ask for the Costa Rican pins from Gallo Pin®.
