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.

ACA Bike 2013

DEC 4

Posted by TC http://youtu.be/9E1_e6rtQlA

79 cyclists participated in ACA Bike on November 29, a roll of 382 kilometers from Toluca to Acapulco. The group left at 5:00 from Zinacantepec by Toluca and arrived 20 hours later in Acapulco at 1:30.

He'd climb after climb on the road between Acapulco and Chilpancingo, the last leg of this adventure. For me it was the most demanding. In each quick and long, when I could finally rest, fall always saw the lights of a car very forward and very high. wey Ay, there is another climb!

Despite the darkness, deep valleys and mountains were visible, blurred by the lights and shadows of the road. The road is wide, smooth and in good condition, although some work continued on the road due to landslides caused by the hurricane of September 20.

In many ups I thought about giving up. A voice in my head said, "Stop, stop, you can not bitch.You climb only 10 minutes in the van and then maybe you can get down ... "

But too often reminded that every path must have an end, even the ACA Bike, and after walking all day rolling cycle, finally I spotted the lights of the port of Acapulco in front of me. I knew I had made the final stretch and was about to arrive.

Thanks to Dad Maurice and his family and companions who followed me in his car, giving me light and water in the most recent 110 km. The increases were not as steep, but we were all tired after running from 5:00 in the morning. (I sat in the shot at 5:30 for Ex Bedrock, Villada and Avenida Las Torres in Toluca.)

I came to the last house. I reached to the group: cyclists and cyclists alike Tronados (some already Chelita above). All the staff was very friendly and helpful. From there we shot the last 20 minutes by Maxitunel hell with his heat to the street that follows the beach with its bars, restaurants and clubs in Acapulco.

For me, the shot had three distinct parts: from Toluca to Iguala, Chilpancingo and Iguala of the last part I just described, the goal of Chilpancingo.

I liked the cold morning. Toluca to shed Tenango went compacted with all our lights and reflective vests at a controlled rate. He gave me plenty of time to warm up and wake up.

The sunrise came the first climb after the plaza in Tenango. And he could see that it would be a clear day, no clouds, lots of sun. And with the sun, the sharp chill of the morning was, but still it was very cold, especially in the break up Ixtapan de la Sal

I saw many cyclists friends down with smiles and lots of excitement on the long road to Ixtapan downs. We crossed without stopping until Ixtapan lake in Mogote in Guerrero. There I took off my jacket and pants. We took the photo of the whole group in front and had breakfast.

I went through here in many workouts. I knew that we expected: a decrease with many curves and great scenery and the biggest rise after the shot, about 30 miles to Taxco in the hot sun.

But the climb really was not that hard and the way I exceeded my buddies workouts, although in practice this increase cost us a lot of work and sometimes we won. I think this time most of the group came to Taxco rolling.

We ate and rested for the house and then crossed Taxco below the city center. We enjoyed a very long descent with sharp curves and a less steep slope to Iguala, where compaction and did another little break at about half an hour at about 1 pm.

After I almost Trone Iguala. The sun and the dust of the road hit me cannon. I could not go fast, and walked more slowly as a good sweat.

Sergio Salinas (Andrew's dad) suggested me to get in his car because we were far behind, and even though it was only 5 or 10 minutes helped me tremendously. We caught up with Andrew and got me. He and I rolled together until the last 30 miles in this part of 120 km between Iguala and Chilpancingo.

We talked for about two three or four hours (net not know), and this also helped me a lot. By talking to Andrew, I forgot the heat and tired body and again enjoyed the scenery. I remembered that I was cycling on Friday instead of chambear and was a nice day.

But as the rim Andrés bike 30 km from Chilpancingo struck, I decided I was going to come up with his dad for the last part of the way there. I knew there was a half-brutal rise and I needed a break. Was also aware that we were far behind and have to catch up with the others. Cyclists in two vans were up more at this point, and we cyclists warriors continued to rise until the break in the OXXO on arrival in the capital of Guerrero.

We left at about 7:30 (or another time? Tell me please, because I really do not remember), again all with white and red lights, and reflective jerseys in a well compacted group, through traffic road that crossed the city of Chilpancingo.

And from there I started the most challenging part for me. In half of the first climb I left the group and I was alone. Lights batteries ran out and they had to lose half blind. Just before my bike shed fuck in a hole or butt or something. I almost fell, the amphora and the lights were flying, and struck my tire.

I fixed the tire on the car, and when I got off and I was not sleepy. I felt good and decided pissed. Nothing could stop me finish this shot on my bike. Pedaled as hard as I could. At first I did not feel so tired. But I thought the 100 miles and about 5 hours until ...

On the morning after shot ate some good tacos al pastor, and then on Saturday we had a great day with friends at the beach, in a restaurant with excellent seafood (diver's), by the pool, and a meeting of the delivery of t and medals.

Thanks to the staff, especially Gustavo Javo and my sweeper, and those who helped me along the way with water, projection lights, rides and motivation. Thanks to friends and other cyclists with whom I spent this great adventure.

And most of all thanks to Gallo for organizing Bike ACA and for being a great leader and friend.

This was my experience. Please put your in the comments below, and if you have a long history, publish in this blog with pleasure.

Spurs, Timberwolves to play in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The NBA is back in Mexico for a regular-season game, and the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves are learning there's an additional rival to conquer: The altitude.

During a practice game Tuesday, Minnesota's players looked noticeably exhausted.

"It was very tough getting through the sprints," Kevin Love said. "You lose your breath very easy in here, but it was a good practice. Hopefully we'll have our wind tomorrow."

The Timberwolves and Spurs will play Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m. EST.

Sitting at 7,350 feet above sea level, Mexico's capital is at a far higher elevation than Denver, which is the NBA's highest venue at 5,280 feet.

"In Denver, which is the highest city in the United states, we can feel (the altitude) in the first five minutes," the Spurs' Manu Ginobili said. "I'm sure it will be much more difficult here."

Minnesota, which will be the home team, has never played in Mexico. During the practice, Love and the rest of his teammates looked visibly tired.

"We did not know the altitude would affect us so much but we were able to run a bit during practice," said Jose Juan Barea, who has twice played in Mexico for Puerto Rico's national team — in Cancun and Guadalajara.

"The trainer asked us to drink a lot of water because he wants to make sure we're OK," Barea said.

Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman said he plans to modify his strategy a bit to take the city's altitude into account.

"We have to be very aware on probably getting guys in earlier than we normally would," Alder said. "We had a scrimmage to get ready for it. Our substitutions will be quicker."

Spurs coach Greg Popovich said he won't change his substitution plan and simply hopes that "as the minutes go by, the (altitude's) effect will pass. I'm not planning any changes."

The game Wednesday will be the 21st played south of the border. Although, this will be the first regular-season game since the Dallas Mavericks faced the Houston Rockets on December 6, 1997, at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes.

The Spurs have played five games in Mexico, including one just a couple of years ago when they played a preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"It's certainly different because now is a sum game," Ginobili said. "In preseason, it's for fun. Now we do not want to lose."

All but two of the 21 games have been held in Mexico City.

After their practice, the Spurs took their socks and sneakers off and played against a team of Trique Indian boys, who have earned acclaim in Mexico and abroad after sweeping through a youth basketball tournament despite their generally short stature and the fact that most play barefoot.

The team from the southern Mexico state of Oaxaca won all six of its games to become this year's champions at the International Festival of Mini-Basketball held recently in Argentina.

"It's a wonderful story," Popovich said. "They have good fundamentals. I was surprised to learn many don't speak Spanish."

They played a five-on-five that was won by the Trique Indian boys, 10-4.

"We ran, and we had fun," said Ginobili, who is from Argentina. "I know they did well in Argentina and it was pleasure to have had this experience with them."

Release

Pochutla Zipolite, Oaxaca.

Oaxaca de Juárez -. Zipolite How beautiful and how to enjoy nature ... God knows why everything is in place, is that Zipolite is building an extraordinary beauty, where everyone has access and fortunately I say this because it is actually a place within reach of every pocket.
often said that a place is economical for them to visit, but when traveling we make sure that is not so.

Zipolite is actually very cheap, as there are simple huts and where tourists are Europeans for over a month because your expenses beach here is very low.
recently Televisa producer and actor was in Israel Jaitovich check here, who came to celebrate his birthday along with Gamborimbo ie actor Miguel Vallejo, along with other characters in the show business, they told us that they felt very comfortable in this wonderful place we considered a "true paradise ".
talked with Pablo Lozano Lyoban whom we told what the concept of Zipolite and this told us: "I came to Imagine Zipolite and fell in love so much, that's why I put some cabins here, since it was a place for me, it had everything to be happy "and adds:" Having contact with nature, having no large hotels that invade the beach, have no modern buildings affecting the natural environment, are the attributes that remain difficult elsewhere also blessed, but which have not been preserved. " Not all beach destinations tourists can walk willingly to the sea, as there are obstacles that can not cope and those are the big hotels, which prevents the enjoyment of the natural beauty or you have to pay, nothing happens here, here everyone, absolutely everyone enjoy walking freely without any cost for the beaches.
"Currencies and the entire economic benefit stays here as having no economic development consortia is to the same place, so we need the public to know the low cost of lodging, food and tourism services that are here, and the freedom of being naked, which is another attraction for those who want to feel free ".
"Contrary to the strict rules in some beach resorts, where you do not allow access but are dressed according to a" dress code "in Zipolite can walk up naked and no one tells you anything ... This is a place Cosmopolitan where many kids come to practice their skills in different languages, as here you will find people from all continents. "
It tells Lyoban their cabins that bear his name are located at the edge of the beach, overlook the sea, where everything is beautiful, there are those who are fascinated by sunrises, but there are those who enjoy the sunsets over, but when night falls, the absence of huge chandeliers, the dense star sky can be seen, the waves seem Holidays are a white foam flashing lights to withdraw leave to return again while you delight in the melodious and classical wave than with the passage of time and modernization, is lost, but here it is so natural and as preserved, which I enjoy as enjoyed by generations and generations unimaginable. The price of a night in one of these cabins overlooking the sea is around $ 500 pesos, here we left his phone to call and come to pass as kings, but without spending much: 019 585 843 177 page: www.lyoban.com.mx
