.....I know....."Lucky".

But I need more.

A Tapatio is someone from Guadalajara and a Veracruzano is someone from Veracruz.

Is there a corresponding or colloquial term for someone from Zihuatanejo?

If someone from Guerrero is a "Guerrerense", (I stand to be corrected, obviously) is someone from Zihua a "Zihuatense"? How about a "Zihuatleco"?


Someone from Zihuatanejo is called a zihuatanejense. Someone from Petatlán is a petatleco. (We don't capitalize the first letter of nationalities and such in Spanish.)

Tess, you are correct that someone from our municipio is called an azuetense.

As far as I know Zanca is used regionally to denote folks from the immediate region of Zihuatanejo, but who are not necessarily from the town of Zihuatanejo.

Maybe "Los Zihuatanejenses" is a bit of a mouthful. (But maybe just to English-speakers?). "Los Azuetenses" might be a tad obscure. Would "Los Zancas" be appropriate for a group from the Zihua area?
