This is my first time here, I spend my winters in Puerto Vallarta and Zihuatanejo has always been interesting to me so I’ve come down for a couple weeks..I’m 65, so it seems I’m similar to the gringo demographic here.

I’ve been nearly everywhere in town on foot or by combi. . I joined a gym to get my exercise meet people and have walked all the surrounding neighborhoods. I’ve been to Madera, La Ropa , Las Gatas, Playa Principal and Ixtapa so I think I have the community scoped out pretty well.

To a person, Zihuatanejoans have been welcoming, friendly and terrific. So have the gringos, The food has been really good everywhere, not one disappointment. The weather is awesome. The places to avoid seem kind of obvious so I don’t feel apprehensive.

Weather is fantastic if you like heat.

This a beautiful place and I’m very aware of all the stuff that goes on and has gone on here.

Absolutely worth a visit.
