Jurmala

Jurmala is the “Coral City”. It is the most luxurious beach resort town in Latvīja. I have never been there in the summer, but I can only imagine the houses filled with singing Rīgans enjoying the summer sun. It is certainly a different way to live, and summer is certainly a time for celebration. Jurmala has a great strip a few blocks from the beach. The wooden houses nestled in the forest are the real attraction. Some of them are decorated in traditional ways with lots of bright colors and handcrafts. A leisurely walk through the district between the beach and the forest is well worth the trip to Jurmala, even if there is six feet (1.85m) of ice on the water.
