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.

OAXACA, Mexico — The Lord works in mysterious ways. In 1531 the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to a peasant named Juan Diego on a hillside on the outskirts of Mexico City — a “miracle” that helped the Catholic Church convert thousands in the Aztec nation.

Now Jesus has returned…in the form of a tortilla.

That's according to Enedina Mendoza, who makes tlayudas, crispy corn tortillas served with toppings, in the town Tlalixtac de Cabrera, in the southern state of Oaxaca. She says Jesus appeared to her in a tortilla earlier this month.


The apparition occurred just days before the annual party to honor the patron saint of the village Santiago Apostol. Mendoza says she initially decided not to attend the festivities, prompting an argument with her pious sister.

As the two women argued, Mendoza says she noticed one of her tortillas was refusing to brown. Upon closer examination, she saw the face of Jesus looking back at her from the tortilla. She snatched it up from the hot oil and proclaimed, “I have Jesus Christ in my hands, I have Jesus Christ in my hands!”



Mendoza is one of thousands of people who claim to have witnessed a religious apparition. In recent years, the face of Jesus has been seen around the globe in everything from a Cheeto and piece of toast, to a dumpling, a frying pan, an orange, and even a dog's behind.

According to some skeptics and psychologists, the apparitions are related to a phenomenon called pareidolia, when a vague visual or sound stimuli is perceived as a known image or sound. Seeing images in planets, clouds, trees, shadows are usually people's minds playing tricks on them, making correlations and associations with images they already know. They are unmistakably powerful experiences for the Christian faithful.



Mexico, being a devoutly Catholic country, has had many recorded apparitions of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. There's also been numerous claims of virgin figurines crying blood.

Mendoza believes the appearance she witnessed was a clear sign from God telling her to attend the town's religious festivals.

The miraculous tortilla is now enshrined on an altar in her house, on display for free for all to come see and pay their respects. Mendoza claims she won't sell it and from now on will look twice before biting into a tlayuda.

    # DidYouKnow ZIPOLITE

    ZIPOLITE
    The beach, like the people, called "Zipolite" There are many versions about the origin of the name and the stronger in Zapotec means "beach of the dead".
    The name comes from the legend that the Zapotecs buried their dead here, bringing them from tens and even hundreds of kilometers away.
    Other studies have not yet said means certificates instead of snails. The beach sand is fine and white, describing a crescent along its entire length.
    The surf is medium to strong in all seasons, prevailing waves and strong underwater currents in the rainy season. One of the charms of the beach at Zipolite is your tolerance for nudity.
    Before nudism is limited to both ends of the beach, Love in the East and another small beach to the west (Alchemist / Shambala side).

    My Spanish Notes ¿De tela o chócolo?

    My Spanish Notes


    Posted: 24 Jun 2015 05:50 PM PDT
    In this post I'm going to continue sharing my Spanish languages adventures in Medellín, Colombia.  If you missed the first installment, no worries, you can read it here:  Holo bebé, ¿qué más pues?

    One of the first things I tend to do when I get off the plane is exchange money and grab a bite to eat.  Exchanging money is usually a pretty straight-forward transaction.  I'll have to blog about it so that when you have to do it completely in Spanish for the first time you won't feel lost.  In the meantime, you can find plenty of helpful phrases for changing money and everything travel related in general in my favorite Spanish Phrasebook for android, called My Spanish Phrasebook.  Alright, I digress, let's get to it.

    In México I've had to show a passport to exchange money on occasion, but this time I had to let them take a huella, or finger print of my dedo índice (index finger).  Not a big deal, it just took me by surprise.  By the way, if you want to know what the other fingers are called, then read my post Pulgar Arriba

    So after getting some Colombian Pesos in my pocket (I'll show you what those look like in a later post) checking into the hotel was up next.  I won't go into detail about that, you can read my post ¿A qué hora es la hora de entrada? to learn how to check into a hotel.  After that it was time to get to one of my favorite past times, eating.

    So I headed downtown and came across a food stand selling arepas de chócolo.  


    I didn't know what chócolo was, and it didn't look like any arepa I had ever seen, but it did look tasty, so I ordered one.  And it turned tenía razón (I was right), it was delicious!   

    What is chócolo you ask?  Nothing but good old-fashioned maíz.


    Now that we know what chócolo is, we can figure what an arepa de chócolo is.  It's what we might call sweet corn cake.  


    You may have noticed the above photo is missing that white triangular stuff that was on top of arepas in the first picture.  And if you're wondering what that was, it's queso cuajado.  I'm not a cheese guy, so if it isn't a slice of Kraft American cheese I can't help you, but the definition of queso cuajado is curd cheese. 



    The combination of an arepa and queso cuajado is something you have to try.  I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but I fell in love with it. 

    Here's a little chócolo humor for you if you want a good laugh and a have just a little over a minute to spare. Click here to watch it in Youtube if you can't see the link.


    OK, now that you've had a chance to put those Spanish ears to work let's keep going.

    There's actually more than one type of arepa served in Medellín.  The other one is called an arepa tela.  I have to admit, I didn't like these quite as much, but they weren't bad.


    While Medellín has a variety of foods, the most famous dish you have to try is the Bandeja Paisa.


    As you can see by the photo, that's quite a bit of food.  Arroz, frijoles, chicharron, huevo, aguacate, carne and plátanos maduros.  Bandeja Paisa is a hearty meal for sure. 

    I think that's going to wrap this post up.  Stayed tune for the next one where I'll share a little more Colombian Spanish and tell you about a quaint little place called Pueblito Paisa and more.

    ¡Hasta la próxima!
