Playa del Carmen Unleashes Creativity Under the Bridge

Playa del Carmen transforms into a global urban art gallery, under the 4.5 km bridge, with the help of local and Colombian artists. The city is also making headlines for its sustainable tourism initiatives. However, security concerns persist, as an attack on the highway raises alarms.

Playa del Carmen's dazzling skyline at night – a testament to modernization and smart infrastructure in Solidaridad.

Playa del Carmen, home to sunny beaches and margarita dreams, is about to turn the world's frown upside down with a splash of vibrant colors. Imagine Banksy meeting a Mayan mural, and you might get close to what's brewing beneath the bustling streets of this Mexican paradise.

Around 25 urban artists have come together like a troupe of rainbow-wielding superheroes to create the largest urban art gallery in the universe – okay, maybe not the universe, but definitely the world. With the benevolent support of the government, led by the illustrious Roxana Lili Campos Miranda, and the dynamic Private Initiative, they are set to turn the city's under-bridge areas into a beachy beauty.
