______________________________________________________________

Entrepreneur Catriona Brown (The Little Mexican Cooking School and Casa Caribe B&B) and Chef John Gray (John Gray's Kitchen and John Gray's Merida) are partnering up in May this year! They both have independently pioneered successful new ventures in Cancun and the Riviera Maya and are great promoters of the region garnering international and national recognition. Both Catriona Brown and John Gray are people watched by locals in the region who are never sure what they will do next.

It was announced today that John Gray will be teaching class for the first time at The Little Mexican Cooking School on Tuesdays commencing May 2nd for 4 classes only. "I am excited to be able to share my passion for authentic Mexican food and to demonstrate how these flavours can be used at home" Gray said while designing the new menu for the school on the breezy, tropical terrace of Casa Caribe in Puerto Morelos.

Brown says " I am delighted to be working with John Gray. I have always respected his passion for presenting the best to his clients." Brown opened The Little Mexican Cooking School in 2009 when it quickly rose to number 1 attraction on the Yucatan Peninsula and it has continually presented entertaining and educational classes in authentic Mexican cuisine to curious travelers.

Also announced was that for Sunday, Mothers Day May 12th, John Gray has added his touch to the already great Brunch menu at Casa Caribe. "This will be our last Sunday Brunch until November and we will look forward to seeing all our friends and visitors for a great fun day in celebration of all our wonderful Mothers".

Sunday Brunch at Casa Caribe in Puerto Morelos quickly became a tradition in the region when it opened two years ago, with two different chefs from The Little Mexican Cooking School serving up wonderful Eggs Benedict as well as Mexican specials and Berry Crepes. Now John Gray adds his touch promising a great Brunch. The lovely outdoor terrace provides an elegant location for the gathering of friends before relaxing on the beautiful Puerto Morelos beach.

When asked about future business planned together Brown said " We have some ideas!" As we said, people to watch.

Puerto Morelos Prepares for 7th Annual Copa del Rey Polo Tournament

435836 — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:53:00 GMT

The exotic jungle of the Mayan Riviera will pulse with the galloping of hooves, when the 7th Annual Copa del Rey International Polo Tournament takes place April 25 - 28, 2013 at El Rey Polo Country Club in Puerto Morelos, just 20 minutes south of Cancun.

Set amidst the lush jungle of the Mexican Caribbean, the regulation polo field will bring six teams face-to-face at a multi-day competition. Ranked as a 4-6 goal event, the tournament will showcase players from around the world and of course, Mexico where the sport has been played since 1880. This highly anticipated Tournament has quickly become one of the top annual social and sporting events of the Cancun-Riviera Maya region.

Since 2007, when the world-famous polo legend Carlos Gracida (Queen Elizabeth's favorite) played in the inaugural Copa del Rey (El Rey Cup), the Tournament has brought the thrill of polo and an alluring equestrian lifestyle to a region already acclaimed for its beaches, water sports, resorts, and archeology.

The tournament will kick off on Thursday April 25 with a cocktail reception on Friday evening at Plaza Kulkucan in Cancun where the teams and players will be presented to invited guests and members of the local and international media. While match play will begin on Friday morning, the tournament and its participants will receive the blessing of a Mayan shaman and the Governor of Quintana Roo, Roberto Borge, will officially open the event on Saturday afternoon. The six teams will meet, head to head throughout the weekend culminating in the championship match on Sunday. A variety of events have been planned around this year's tournament including an art exhibition, live musical entertainment and, of course, the hotly contested Ladies Hat Competition!

Corporate sponsors for this year's event include Sunset World, Fiesta Americana, Lemmus, Scappino, INRiviera, E Entertainment, Mazda, Cuatro Tacos and Volaris among others. The Copa del Rey tournament was inaugurated in 2007 and since then has grown into one of the most anticipated social and sporting events in the country.

El Rey Polo Club is located on la Ruta de los Cenotes, 6 miles from the town of Puerto Morelos, 20 minutes south of Cancun, and has the only regulation polo field (300 yd x 160 yd) in the Mexican Caribbean. Open year-round, El Rey Polo Club offers lessons for beginning to advanced players, with training packages and practice sessions available, as well as a seasoned stable of horses. The polo field is flanked by a clubhouse with restaurant and banquet facilities and an infinity edge pool. For more information about El Rey Polo Club and the tournament call 998 802 1609 or email alexa@poloincancun.com.
