A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

‘Chocolate Road’, Oaxaca, Mexico

You would never expect a wander through the back streets of Oaxaca to lead you to Chocolate Heaven.
As you stroll innocently past Calle Mina, you will find yourself pausing to sniff the air. You cannot help but change direction, turning into the street, and following the indescribable aromas.
In the midst of the heat and bustle of this unassuming Mexican town lies the heart of Mexico’s chocolate making industry. You won’t find any impersonal confectionary factories here.
Instead there are quaint chocolate shops dotted along both sides of the street, wonderful smells wafting and happy shoppers emerging from each door.
You cannot stop yourself from joining the locals and flooding inside, watching as the beans are ground down to make chocolate that flows gloopily from the machines and into shiny basins.

Then wander from shop to shop, sampling their wares. Chocolate bars, chocolate sauce, chocolate milk, and the fabulous smell of chocolate and bustle of chocolate makers and sighs of chocolate lovers on every corner.
When it all gets too much, retire to the unassuming café in the courtyard of Le Soledad chocolate factory and order an ‘Argentinian hot chocolate’.
Watch the chocolate bustle while stirring your hot milk with a full bar of melting Oaxacan chocolate. If you can’t bear to leave, there is a well-priced chocolate hotel above the courtyard. None of it is in the guidebook. All of it is a delight.
Oaxaca is an important producer and exporter of coffee, but the more important drink is chocolate. Oaxaca is one of the Mexican states that produces cacao, along with Veracruz, Tabasco, Chiapas, Morelos, Guerrero and Michoacán. Cacao and chocolate have been used in the state as food, drink and medicine. In the past the cacao beans served as a form of money.
In the center of the city of Oaxaca, various businesses grind and prepare cacao for hot chocolate drinks, moles, and more. The best known of these businesses is El Mayordomo. Inside, there large mills grind beans that are then mixed with sugar and other flavorings such as almonds and cinnamon. Most of the cacao is processed for drinking. Hot chocolate is prepared with the chocolate mixture with water or milk and heated in a pot or pitcher. Before serving, a froth is created with a special instrument is twirled rapidly by rubbing the handles between the palms. The resulting cacao beverage with the froth is named Pozonque.

Two bats, the plot
"When they opened the door where the pantry is kept, they found two small fruit bats that walked around because they live in the area, it's their habitat, I can not kill them. In addition to making an observation to the tank because it has a part that requires tile, "said the affected.
Although they are not sufficient reasons to close and they did not allow me to explain the situation, they were determined to close and put their seals; It was obvious that they had the slogan of closing down how my business would take place, he added.

"

Jurisdiction denies information
Interviewed first by telephone and then personally, the head of Sanitary Jurisdiction number 4, Ulises López Lucero, refused to clarify the reasons that led to the closure, although he said, these inspections are only done routinely or by a complaint.

Patricia Pacheco

Inspectores clausuraron el pasado jueves el restaurante y las cabañas Shambhala, propiedad de Gloria Johnson.
ZIPOLITE, POCHUTLA.- Como una revancha y una forma de presión para evitar más acciones de defensa por el despojo del que fue objeto, calificó Gloria Johnson Ramírez la clausura de su restaurante y cabañas, consumada el pasado jueves por inspectores de la Jurisdicción Sanitaria número 4.
Luego de que el martes Gloria Johnson, pionera de la playa Zipolite, evidenciara la incursión ilegal y el desmantelamiento de un inmueble de su propiedad, que por medio de argucias habría sido vendido por un ex empleado a un empresario extranjero; este jueves se registró una nueva embestida para la dueña del hostal rústico Shambhala.

Visita sorpresiva de inspectores

Y es que de manera inesperada, se presentaron hasta su negociación –único sostén económico- un par de inspectores de los Servicios de Salud de Oaxaca (SSO) adscritos a la Jurisdicción Sanitaria número 4 con la intención de verificar las condiciones de salubridad en las instalaciones.
Después de revisar exhaustivamente cocina, cisterna y alacenas, los empleados de salud determinaron tajantemente realizar la clausura de los locales con el argumento de que representaban un riesgo sanitario, sin dar oportunidad a la agraviada de replicar sus conclusiones.
A pesar de no existir motivos suficientes, la clausura fue consumada por autoridades sanitarias.

Dos murciélagos, el argumento

“Cuando abrieron la puerta donde se guarda la despensa encontraron dos pequeños murciélagos de fruta que andaban por ahí porque viven en la zona, es su hábitat, yo no los puedo matar. Además de hacer una observación a la cisterna porque tiene una parte que requiere azulejo”, refirió la afectada.
Aunque no son motivos suficientes para realizar una clausura y no me permitieron explicar la situación, ellos se empeñaron en cerrar y poner sus sellos; era evidente que tenían la consigna de clausurar a como diera lugar mi negocio, agregó.

Extraña diligencia de funcionarios

La mujer se dijo extrañada por la actitud de los servidores, pues aclaró que su negocio fue el único inspeccionado, “habiendo tantos lugares que venden alimentos y cuando no todos funcionan correctamente”, por lo que adujo “se trata de una medida más para presionarme por lo que he dado a conocer sobre la forma en que quieren despojarme de mi propiedad”.
“Me parece muy raro que hayan actuado con tanta rapidez, porque a veces se les solicitan algunas inspecciones y tardan muchos días o no las realizan; tal parece que hubo alguna autoridad muy interesada y que insistió mucho para que me hicieran la clausura”, advirtió.

Jurisdicción niega información

Entrevistado primero vía telefónica y luego de manera personal, el titular de la Jurisdicción Sanitaria número 4, Ulises López Lucero, se negó a aclarar los motivos que derivaron en la clausura, aunque dijo, esas inspecciones solo se realizan de rutina o por una queja.
“Es un tema que yo no puedo comentarle a usted como reportera, sino directamente con el propietario”, señaló.
A pesar de que Johnson Ramírez intentó comunicarse en diversas ocasiones con el funcionario para solicitar más información, éste omitió contestar sus llamadas.
El pasado martes Gloria denunció que Daniel Cohen, empresario argentino, ordenó desmantelar un predio donde se ubicaba una cabaña.

Arremetida por develar abusos

Vale referir que Gloria Johnson exhibió cómo su ex empleado Juan Martínez Ramírez abusó de su confianza y por medio de argucias (falsificación de firmas) se alió con un empresario extranjero llamado Daniel Cohen Sabban a quien vendió un predio de su propiedad de más de mil metros cuadrados ubicado sobre la playa, a un costado del hostal Shambhala.
El empresario, que además es socio de Marcelo Barbas Larrarte y Juan Carlos Malazzo Muti -todos de origen argentino-, en el hotel y restaurante El Alquimista; envió el pasado 7 de febrero a un grupo de sujetos a la propiedad en disputa para desmantelarla, sin una orden o documento de por medio.

Se solidarizan con Gloria

Los agravios de los que ha sido objeto Johnson Ramírez han desencadenado una serie de reacciones de apoyo y solidaridad que son visibles sobre todo en redes sociales, a la vez que se muestra el repudio contra el grupo de empresarios por su voracidad y el abuso hacia la mujer de avanzada edad, quien desde su llegada a Zipolite hace 45 años se ha destacado por defender férreamente los recursos naturales y las tierras.
