Arcos, not Narcos

1968 Jan San Bernardino Sun article
Zihuatanejo is still an inexpensive and peaceful resort full of picturesque scenes of "what Mexico is really like." The sandy-shored bay is relatively free of motor launches and so there's plenty of room f-r the water skiers and plenty ef bright tropical fish for Lb snorkel swimmer. Timothy Leary, the psycho-

delic drug advocate, discovered Zihuatanejo five years ago. He had rented an entire hotel above the bay and was living in it when he was returned to the United States in a dispute with the Mexican government. The tourist rates are reasonable in Zihuatanejo at least by U.S. standards. The best of the half-dozen small hotels offer rooms and meals for less than $15 a day per couple. For the serious divers and deep-sea fishermen, the sandaled locals in the port town are well equipped with motor launches, fishing tackle and skin-diving gear. Few Americans are visibly in business in the resort. Some expatriates from Berkeley, Calif., operate a bar, Los Arcos. but the top hotels Posada Caracol, Maria's, Las Brisas and the Catalina are

managed either by Europeans or Mexican citizens.

For the history buffs, is this Los Arcos associated with Villa Los Arcos and are the Berkeley expatriates still around town in any capacity?

No, and a couple.
