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.

LONELY PLANET REVIEW

This ranch-style eatery with long tables in a large, open-sided barn is worth an expedition from anywhere on the coast for its superb grilled meats. Order some frijoles charros (bean soup with bacon bits) and queso fundido (melted cheese) to start, followed by some tender arrachera (skirt steak) and chistorra sausage for a feast you won’t forget. El Colorado is on the road to Puerto Ángel, 2km from Pochutla (M$40 by taxi).
There’s excellent mezcal and draft Corona Oscura beer, and the costillas ahumadas (smoked pork ribs) are another great option. When host Pedro is in the mood, he sings sentimental ranchera songs.

Views of Mexico City JAN 23

Views of Mexico City

angel of independence 2
I live in Toluca, a few hours from Mexico City, or D.F. as it is most commonly known in Spanish. By some estimates the 3rd largest city in the world, D.F. has sights, sounds, confusion, beauty, comedy, tragedy, horror and fun.
zocalo
You can just make out the plaza below, which is the zocalo above. This is the center of the city, with the cathedral, government buildings and giant flag.

Once the tallest building in Latin America, the Torre Latino Americana gives great views of the sprawling metropolis.

Up the street is the monument to the Revolution.

On the right you can see Iztaccihuatl, one of Mexico City’s two nearby volcanoes. All the people were a protest by farmer’s unions from the south of Mexico.

These are the three kings. They bring children presents after Christmas, on Jan 4 or something like that. You can have your picture taken with them, like Santa. Somehow blackface isn’t yet politically incorrect in Mexico:

This is the Basilica of Guadalupe, where the famous painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe is kept. You can read a little more about her here.

Get your photo with the virgin!

In the market across from the basilica I find a shrine to Santa Muerte, Saint Death. Here is where you make your dark request for revenge.

Take one home, why don’t you?
