Welcome to
Rising Sun Realty!!!

Tambor is the quintessential sleepy tropical fishing village. Most of the locals are extremely laid back and seem to come from an era in the distant past. Time has not taken its full toll here. Tambor has one foot set in the foundational ways of the Olden Days, and the other foot poking through into modernity. Of course, everyone has a cell phone and flat screen TVs are prevalent, but visitors can get the sense that they’ve stepped through a Time Warp. It’s no surprise that Tambor is located in one of the Blue Zones of the world, one of the four special places on Planet Earth which boast the highest longevity rates for its inhabitants. Stress less, live longer.
The “muelle” (dock) is one of the town’s two major hubs. The rickety yet reliable dock plays a major role in everyday commerce in Tambor. This is where the fishermen go out to sea daily to earn their living, mostly on little wooden boats, in search of the beautifully iridescent Dorado (Mahi Mahi) or Yellowfin Tuna. The bay itself is full of life with schools of sardines leaping by to escape the larger prey fish and pelicans. Mackerel, snappers, sea bass & barracuda are often what’s for dinner for the fishermen casting lines and nets off the beach.
Most of the fishermen and their families prefer to live close to the muelle on a dusty nearby strip. It’s a shanty section with its own natural beauty and rustic allure, all seashell windchimes, bay breezes, and simplicity. Walking through this sector can make one realize how little is really needed to be happy. You may find yourself fantasizing about propping up your own makeshift abode, kicking off your shoes and never leaving (you wouldn’t be the first, nor the last). The dirt road is speckled with sand and leads onto a magical coastline trail that will take your breath away, flowing all the way to the tip of the Cabo Blanco Natural Reserve, over a whole day’s trek away.

“Watch, how the sun slowly rises from behind my ear
new lines, new countries spring up in my palms
my rough hair become swaying silk
and all the leaves in my body become lusher than fruits”
