We are not beach people and tend to stay around a pool during the day. Have read so much as how the area has grown, we decided this week we wanted to do different things. The thought of going to Barri de Potsi came up. Normally we just do our little routine- this year is different.

Enjoy Paul! Live it all, with no regrets!

Hey Paul it's Jamie the golf course supt originally from KY. Yes just get to the airport and the combi will pick you up right before you enter. I was told it runs about every 20 minutes and we payed 30 pesos for us and all our luggage. We just left 2 weeks ago after staying in Barra. Great time (minus all the buses each day with holiday travelers) and can't wait to go back. I went fishing on the Lucky, twice, and had great success. Can't beat it. Have fun!!!

You won't recognize it. The changes in the last few years has changed all of Playa Blanca and only the good things remain the same.
To get there walk out of the airport "loop" paking lot and catch a combi that goes from the airport along the perimeter fence directly to the beach and then along the beach on the NEW paved frontage road to La Barra. Highly recommend you stay at Bungalows Solecito, lot 54, about a 10 stroll down the beach to La Barra de Potosi (about 1/2 mile).

More infor, click the white envelope and e mail me.

Hola. The airport route is good now that the road is paved all the way. The way I used to go was to take the Petatlan bus to Los Achotes and then transfer to the smaller pickup truck there for the final leg of the journey. Cheap way to go.

How is the best way to get to Barra de Potosi using the bus. We decided we wanted to go there for the last time was over 15 years ago and we did a tour sponsored by the hotel. Our first visit to "Z" was on a Apple Vacation Cruise and that was where we had lunch. Funny thing after lunch, Kathie and her bags were laying in a hammock and she told them she wanted one like the one she was in- they started unhooking the hammock she was in. We had the hammock for years until she decide she would wash it in a washing machine.

Take the bus to the airport. Then take the Barra de Potosi combi along the now paved road to the village. That road makes a T intersection with the Hwy that goes into the airport and runs along the Playa Blanca shore line. You can't miss it - there are always a bunch of taxis parked there. The combi goes quite frequently now. There is a little schedule posted where the taxis are. ....JB
