Guanacaste This Week
The free weekly for events, new restaurants, rentals and deals in Coco & Papagayo, Flamingo & Potrero, Tamarindo & Playa Grande and Liberia.
Every week, before the weekend, we let locals and visitors know what's on near them, with every listing linked to its source. Put your event, restaurant, rental or deal in front of them, clearly labelled and in the same easy format they come for.
