Spending two weeks at a villa here and can’t find much info on town
Any local info or suggestions appreciated
Is it possible to get to amd from Zihuatanejo by local bus.

There is no town at La Barrita. Just a few beach restaurants and some vacation lodgings. As Dave mentioned, Papanoa is the closest town with any kind of store other than a convenience store, but you may find Petatlán more fulfilling and interesting. It’s one of the old colonial towns, though this entire region has been populated for thousands of years.

That is because there is nothing there. Yes you can take the Pampanoa combi going north into Petatlán and catch the Petatlán bus to Z.
