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.

How to sign up for deal newsletters and fare alerts from US-based airlines

Posted by George Hobica on Sunday, May 5, 2013

As we've said many times, the best airfare deals are only sometimes available on the airlines' 
own web sites, and many of them come in the form of promo code deals and special offers. 
You can only get these, in some cases, if you sign up for alerts and emails directly from 
the airlines. However, we've noticed that many airlines make it a bit challenging to find 
where to sign up for alerts! So we've gathered links to most US airlines all in one 
handy dandy place.  So sign up and save! (Enough email already? Airfarewatchdog 
lists any and all promo code and special fare sales on the AirfarewatchdogBlog).

Click on any airline below to sign up for newsletters and fare alertsExamples of what you will receive
