Only a thirty minute drive from SPI lays the country of Mexico . The city of Matamoros is the closest border town to the Island . Here you can find great shopping, dining, heritage, activities, and of course great prices. Shopping includes hats, caps, shoes, boots, pharmaceuticals, cigars and tobacco, hand bags, pet products, cds, dvds, pottery, cinnamon, clothes, jewelry, food and much much more. For those who like to have a drink once in a while, where else are you going to find a fifty cent shot of Jose Cuervo and fifty cent Coronas?
