Zee What? (Zihuatanejo, Mexico)

“Get busy living or get busy dying,” one of our favorite quotes from Andy, the main character in the movie, “Shawshank Redemption.” Andy made his dreams come true by escaping to Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Mare and I sit on the beach in this laid-back fishing village with only one regret…we must leave tomorrow for an 18-hour bus ride to Puerto Escondido (Hidden Port). Our recent week-end in Puerto Penasco, (Rocky Point) wets our appetite to re-visit deeper Mexico, you know, down where you hear hardly any English.

“Zihua” relaxes our being. We sit on the beach under a palapa, near fishermen selling their catch and repairing nets. Boats bob in the bay. Our $30 per night cement room offers a clean sheet on a firm mattress. Who needs hot water or a mirror? As soon as the late night music from town ends, the roosters start to crow as if trying to mimic the lyrics of the evening.

Etanilado Valduonos Olea, manager of “Hotel R3 Marias Noria,” spends much of the morning arranging our bus tickets. He ends up driving us to the bus station to purchase tickets to Alcapulco, the first leg of tomorrow’s journey. He won’t accept any money for his efforts. “I just like to help, that’s all.” He explains that hotels are trying to survive a 50% occupancy rate in this small village, next to the larger resort destination of Ixtapa.

Mare and I meander from the beach to town, where we munch on some street tacos and stumble upon a community of white, winter visitors. Many of them sit on street corners sharing quarts of Corona. Mare asks a man, who looks like my reflection (Bald with a goatee), where to find an ATM.

“Ah, Americans,” he responds. “You’re the first ones I’ve seen in a while. Most of them quit coming and us Canadians took over.”

Zihuatanejo derives its name from the Nahuatl Indian word “Zihuatlan,” which means “Place of women.” Spaniards later added the suffix “ejo” which means small. Perhaps if they saw the place today, they might rename it, “Gringos Gordos.”

This last evening in town, we treat ourselves to “Lety’s,” the restaurant next to our hotel. Lety is our hotel manager’s sister. (Across the street, his mother serves daily breakfast to a loyal following of fishermen) Lety shows us an article from the Wall Street Journal travel section that praises her place. “This makes me feel important,” she proudly says. Mare and I don’t feel that fresh shrimp need the help of coconut and sour cream, but Lety’s signature dish of Coconut Shrimp tastes spectacular.

On a bus in the morning we wind along the coast until reaching Alcapulco 4-hours later. While waiting 5-hours for the bus to Puerto Escondido, our eyes burn from exhaust fumes held captive by the humidity, and we dine on grilled chicken from a roadside stand. After an 8-hour bus ride, during which we munch on unrecognizable morsels at the various stops, we arrive at the Hidden Port.  It’s one o’clock in the morning…time to get busy living.

Oaxaca, Mexico is known as the Land of the Seven Moles after the complicated chili-based sauce that takes hours to prepare and often features chocolate. The Puerto Escondido Walking Tour offered by local foodie Gina Machorro offers a fascinating inside peek at this and other Oaxacan culinary traditions. 

Pros:

• Tour begins at the Marina where you'll chat with local fishermen and tuck into a typical breakfast of nopal cactus, tortillas and beans. 
• Then it's off through the backstreets of Puerto visiting a traditional chocolate grinder and the homes of women making tamales of maize by hand.
• Gina guides you through Benito Juarez Market where you'll explore the indigenous stalls, learning how to identify epazote, pimiento gorda and nance. The sprawling, but surprisingly orderly, market stretches an entire city block spilling out onto surrounding sidewalks. Chat with vendors and soak up the authentic  Oaxcaca atmosphere. 
• Culinary adventurers will enjoy the opportunity to samplechapulines (toasted spicy grasshoppers) and the many varieties of chocolate. 
• Learn how to use cooking utensils such as comals for heating tortillas, pottery bowls for salsa, and mortar and pestles for making guacamole. 
• A shopping bag is supplied and will be filled the brim with culinary goodies by the end of the tour. 

Cons:

This is a fast-paced tour with some hill-climbing. If you need extra time when walking or have mobility issues, advise Gina in advance and she'll be happy to make special arrangements.

Details:

Time: Saturdays at 7:45 am

Location: Tourist Information Booth on el Adoquin, near Playa Principal. 

Cost: 300 pesos or $24 Canadian. Includes all snacks and sampling. Book in advance in-person or by email atginainpuerto@yahoo.com.  

How to get there: Sunquest Vacations flies direct to Huatulco from Toronto. From there, it's one hour and 45 minutes by bus or taxi to Puerto Escondido. Sunquest offers an all-inclusive option in Puerto Escondido that includes transfers from Huatulco. 

Try some nopal for breakfast

Review of Barcelo Huatulco

Posted by reviewer696 on Feb 01, 2012 Visited on: Jan 2012 Age Range: - Warm Consistent Weather. Small town atmosphere. Kind and hospitable staff. Food was very good, very "Canadianized". Plenty of activities and a very safe feeling. Good Snorkeling right in front of the hotel and off to the side. Feeding the fish daily. Ocean climbing toys for older children. Waves were mostly calm in front of hotel, take taxi for better boarding beaches. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Puerto Escondido HELP!! Hey guys, I'm heading to puerto Escondido in the middle of march and I'm wondering what to expect/ be prepared for. I'm use to fishing Cabo this time of year but have never been down this far. I will be taking out boats as well as fishing from the surf. Bringing my own surf gear and limited off-shore stuff, rod tube must be <6.25'  Questions: 1.) what species frequent the area that time of year, both surf and off-shore. 2.) what are some must have surf tossing lures? 3.) general insight on where to go and how To approach the surf, this is my biggest interest. I fish a lot of tuna out of sd and I only get to do this surf thing once a year.. It's freaking fun!! Thanks, Denny
