Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Holding the Megaphone: Inside the San Miguel Writers’ Conference & Literary Festival

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.

Holding the Megaphone: Inside the San Miguel Writers’ Conference & Literary Festival

Each February, writers, readers, and storytellers gather in San Miguel de Allende for one of the most inspiring literary events in Mexico. This year’s San Miguel Writers’ Conference & Literary Festival drew nearly 1,750 participants for four days of workshops, conversations, and powerful ideas.

From learning how to craft memoirs, poetry, and crime fiction to hearing keynote talks from renowned authors like Sandra Cisneros, the conference reminds us why storytelling still matters — and who gets to hold the megaphone.

Journalist Estefanía Camacho takes us inside the energy of the festival, where writers explore voice, creativity, and the role of literature in shaping culture and conversation.
