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.

Infinity Surf Charters Gears Up for the 2012 Season

PRESS RELEASE

Based in Huatulco Mexico, INFINITY SURF CHARTERS offers an outstanding surf travel experience with access to great waves and warm water.

With a maximum of 6-8 guests per week, boat access to remote surf spots, accommodation choices between our Surf Casa and Luxury Villa, and great food combined with sand-points and warm water, we're confident that our guests will experience one of the best surf travel vacations on the planet.

The prime surf spots consist of approximately fifteen right hand point-breaks. Seven to eight of these well-known waves handle most of the prevailing wind conditions and most swells. The remaining seven waves require more specific conditions and are not that well known, but also offer world-class performance.

Swells mostly range between 4'-6' but bigger swells do occur. And depending on the summer rain, the sand run off naturally foils the sea floor, resulting in perfectly shaped waves. In addition, some spots are more sheltered than others, so even when the swell is raging, if guests prefer mellower conditions, those are available.

The prime wave season for the best spots is from April through November, with peak conditions from June through August, resulting in consistent, worldclass waves which intermediate to advanced surfers will enjoy.

Dizzy Jazz Quartet - Bésame Mucho

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dizzy-Jazz-Quartet/258370270854422Consuelo Velázquez - Bésame Mucho , Voce Titta Schirò , Chitarra Matteo Tundo , Batteria Giuseppe Manniello , Basso , Video Editing & programs by Maurizio Gambardella. Una produzione "Music Republic"http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Music-Republic/180400585384310 . Bésame mucho è il titolo di una canzone scritta nel 1940 dalla messicana Consuelo Velázquez prima del suo ventiquattresimo compleanno. Secondo la stessa Consuelo Velázquez la canzone fu composta prima ancora che lei desse il primo bacio. Rapidamente divenne una delle canzoni più popolari del XX secolo. Emilio Tuero cantante messicano fu il primo ad inciderla. Fu riconosciuta, nel 1999, come la canzone in lingua spagnola più cantata e registrata e forse la più tradotta in altre lingue. Dopo Tuero la canzone fu registrata ed inserita nei dischi da vari artisti, compresi i Beatles. I quattro di Liverpool la interpretarono, insieme ad altre 14 canzoni, durante la allora famosa audizione (poi andata male) negli studi Decca, il 1 gennaio del 1962, Paul McCartney era il vocalista. La suonarono un'altra volta nell'audizione degli studi EMI (quando finalmente giunsero ad un accordo con una casa discografica) il 6 giugno del 1962. Questa ultima registrazione di Bésame mucho fu inclusa nella compilation del 1995 Anthology 1.

The Perfect Place for a Relaxing Getaway

Review Submitted: January 9, 2012 Date of Stay: October 2011
We spent a glorious week at Casa Colibri. The property was absolutely amazing, with beautiful views of the ocean. We loved drinking our coffee in the open palapa first thing in the morning, and spent most of the day lounging by the pool and walking the beach. The rooms are bright and open, with lots of comfortable places for your afternoon nap. The staff were fabulous, and they always made sure we were well taken care of. We loved trying out the different restaurants in Zicatella, and enjoyed some of the most delicious margaritas we have ever had. We are counting the days until we get to come back!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Glad you had such a great time! We also love long leisurely breakfasts watching the ocean, and often the dolphins! I know the staff enjoyed looking after you. You are welcome back at any time.
Best regards,
Penny & Joe

 LYOBAN
Lyoban is originally a zapotecan word (LYO-BAAN).
The word refers to a holy place where the "cloud-men" arrived when they were able to achieve the higest level of spirituality. There they stayed, in the Lyo-baan for eternity. Maintaining peace and balance, day by day.
 LYOBAN has been our home for more than 15 years

We are open all year and we would prefer that you make a reservation before you arrive. This will insure that you have a room when you arrive. However reservations are not required.
We are located in the center of town next to the local church and we are well known by the local taxi services.
