Hot Tip For Foreigners Living Here

The tourist assistance center, CATAC, is serving the needs of about 11,000 tourists a year for problems like loss of documents, complaints about a service or product bought, and help with police reports.

The people there speak English, it's handy right on the marina, there's plenty of parking to the side, but there is one catch. They only serve tourists, not foreigners who live here. So, get your story straight before going in; you are visiting, not living. Even if you're reporting a home robbery, this nice state agency can help you, just be sure to say you live most of the time in the United States.

Going to Catac sure beats our almost non existent American consulate or the icky dirty police station where nobody will speak English to you.

CATAC is the nice looking new orange building on the marina kind of near the Dolphin Center.
