The 37th Triatlón Anual Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo happens this Saturday, meaning there will be road closures in Ixtapa from very early on until the end of the event.

Dolores that is expected to arrive by this weekend.

The new Gobernadora-electa Evelyn Salgado Macedonio is promising to disappear Fibazi! ¡Aleluya!
