Trip report day ?

Try early Dec for the same vibe--slow, dollar stretches, no crowds, beach to yourself--but more local culture around Lady of Guadalupe day usually around Dec 12--parades, music on the boats on the day and many el centro activities. Each year I plan a trip at that time--I think you'd love it. The weather always cooperates with days the same as Jan-Apr but low season prices. Only downside: not all restaurants open but still plenty to choose from. It's all quite perfect. Enjoy your trip reports--you capture the simple essence of why we come to Z, no plan, nothing hurried.
