Great Area to Live:

This is really a great area to relocate to if you would like to be close to the beaches and not miss out on the activities you can enjoy in the Central Valley, if you would like to own a hobby farm, if you want the opportunity to mix with the locals, or if you would like to make your home away from home.

Grecia is a friendly town and residents welcome visitors into their homes as well as their town. It has a wonderful climate that is fresh and breezy, keeping the weather cool most of the year. This area is a great place to explore with its green and unspoiled environment.

1897 Church:

This town's unique metal church, which is a dark rusty red color makes the town a popular tourist destination. The Cathedral de la Mercedes is a gothic style church made from metal pieces that were imported from Belgium in 1897 and reassembled here. This church is as beautiful from the inside as it is impressive from the outside.

There is a Regional Museum, an insect and butterfly museum with over 50,000 different insects and butterflies, and the "World of Snakes" serpentarium, which houses more than 50 species of snakes from all over the world. This snake habitat is a great place to observe these amazing reptiles in their natural environment.
