Puerto Morelos, with its unique charm and unparalleled landscapes, witnessed a historic moment in the world of alternative rock. In February 2017, the iconic Irish band The Cranberries, led by the unforgettable Dolores O'Riordan, visited Quintana Roo to perform their last concert in Mexico, held at the Moon Palace Hotel.

Before their performance in Cancun, the band took the time to tour Puerto Morelos and do a photo shoot which, at the time, seemed to be just part of their preparation for a new album. However, Dolores' sudden death on January 15, 2018 left an irreparable void in the music world and in the hearts of her fans.
One year later, on January 15, 2019, the band released their final album, In The End, as a final tribute to Dolores and her legacy. Images taken in Puerto Morelos remained on their social media, marking this picturesque corner of the Mexican Caribbean as the setting for The Cranberries' final photo shoot.
Six years after Dolores O'Riordan's death, Puerto Morelos remains a special place in the memory of her fans. Have you stopped to recognize the streets where this historic footage was taken?

Puerto Morelos, with its quiet and authentic essence, will always be linked to the legacy of a band that marked generations.
