Easter crowds

We also prefer to avoid the crowded conditions of the holiday season and leave Zihua for the nationals to enjoy. One year we went to Patzcuaro which was fantastic, although it was busy there, as well. Last year we got out of Dodge on Holy Thursday and spent the long weekend in Mexico City. We were told that that weekend was going to be less crowded in La Ciudad as a lot of folks makes their way to the beaches or other places for the holidays. If you haven't been to the capital, I highly recommend it. About 140 museums, lots of beautiful architecture and public art, excellent restaurants and street fare, parks, cultural events, etc.
