New Years

Most of our trips to Zih have been around New Year's Eve with some other high season trips to judge relative conditions .

The pictures I've seen from Semana Santa are much worse .

There is an interesting dynamic that we have noticed with La Ropa when the road is in good condition in that the big tour buses mostly park around the southern end of La Ropa . The south end and middle area take on more people but the north end stays about normal . My theory is that the north end beach is used mostly by Zihua locals and some of them will get to work more in that busier time and so get less beach time with the family .

Last year's road condition meant less crowds in general but the north remained equally quiet to my eye .

We sat a few times at the Catalina in the shade with plenty of seats unused . We normally sit at the Rossy which does get the big crowd boost and we just embrace that and meet some new friends .

Restaurants in town are more crowded and we just wing it in terms of planning and reservations and still do alright .

Tell them to go .
