The port received several visitors who sought to mitigate the effects of the strong heat, which in recent weeks has been hitting the region.
On Sunday, just over 3,000 people arrived in Progreso, where the temperature was between 32 and 34 degrees.
The heat was relieved thanks to the breeze that was felt during the day, which with the sea water created a perfect environment for the enjoyment of walkers of all ages.
Children and adults did not miss the opportunity to go into the sea to swim and play at various points on the traditional and international boardwalks.
Taking advantage of the presence of passersby, street vendors made an appearance, obtaining acceptable results for this day, mainly sellers of pens and slushies, as well as businesses that sell micheladas and alcoholic beverages. These establishments were among the most visited.
