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.

After dying in obscurity and being buried in an unmarked grave over a century ago, José Guadalupe Posada, must smile with some irony this time of year at his enduring popularity as Dias de los Muertos begins again.


After dying in obscurity and being buried in an unmarked grave over a century ago, José Guadalupe Posada, must smile with some irony this time of year at his enduring popularity as Dias de los Muertos begins again. Whether you recognize the name, the work of Posada, who was born the seventh son to working class parents of Indian descent in Aguascalientes in 1852, has left an indelible fingerprint on the Mexican culture and continues to shape art, design, politics and spirit in the country.
Even those who are casual observers of art will recognize the work for which he is most known and which forms a fixture in the imagery of this Mexican holiday celebrated every Nov 1st and 2nd. His engraved illustrations of Calaveras (skeletons and skulls) helped transform Dias de los Muertos from a morbid practice of mourning, to a celebration of life. A prolific artist, illustrator and printer, Posada created over 20,000 drawings during his lifetime. Perhaps the most famous is the “The Skull of the Female Dandy”- “Calavera de la Catrina”. Posada portrays “The Catrina” as a fleshless skull topped with a fancy wide brimmed bonnet replete with large billowing feathers meant to satirize the life of the upper class, the bourgeois during the reign of Porfirio Diaz.

It’s often thought that talking about animal abortion is a bad thing

 Claudia Mamet


Muchas veces se piensa que hablar de aborto en los animales es algo malo, pero no debe ser un tema tabú. Al contrario: interrumpir el embarazo de una perrita o gatita es un acto de amor, porque evita que nazcan más cachorros que después sufrirán en la calle sin hogar.
Hay demasiados perros y gatos abandonados que pasan hambre, enfermedades y malos tratos. Con una esterilización a tiempo, estamos evitando mucho dolor y dando una mejor vida a nuestras mascotas.
Este fin de semana, 27 y 28 de septiembre, tendremos campaña de esterilización en San Pedro Pochutla. Si tu perrita o gatita está preñada y quieres esterilizarla, márcanos al 55 1130 5102
Gracias por ser un dueño responsable.
It’s often thought that talking about animal abortion is a bad thing, but it shouldn’t be a taboo topic. On the contrary: terminating the pregnancy of a puppy or kitten is an act of love, because it prevents more puppies from being born than will later suffer on the street homeless.
There are far too many abandoned dogs and cats passing through hunger, disease and mistreatment. With timely sterilization, we are avoiding a lot of pain and giving our pets a better life.
This weekend, 27 and 28 September, we will have a sterilization campaign in San Pedro Pochutla. If your dog or kitten is pregnant and you want to sterilize it, call us at 55 1130 5102
Thank you for being a responsible owner.
