La RelajaZIHón Definida
According to Guerrero's state health authorities Tecpan recorded the only new active case of Covid-19 on the entire Costa Grande. The municipio of Coyuca de Catalán on Zihuatanejo's northeast corner also registers 1 currently active case. The local government continue imposing draconian rules that only seem to affect beachgoers in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa proper, but the rules on the beaches seem rather stupid and pointless. And not just the Covid-19 rules.
Speaking of stupid rules, now the mayor is bragging that in May-June Playa La Madera will be Blue Flagged even though absolutely no resident I've spoken with or heard from in La Madera is in favor of this. And the restaurant and lodging operators already voted against this just a few short years ago when the current mayor's wife was in charge of Ecology and wanted to ban pets from beaches because she got an infection once from stepping in doo. It's always curious what a little power does to some people.
*BREAKING NEWS* --> YOU READ IT HERE FIRST
The first block of the downtown street Vicente Guerrero was closed off from Juan N. Álvarez to Nicolás Bravo this afternoon by state police and Guardia Nacional after bones were discovered on a nearby property where some construction is taking place. Rumors flew up and down the street as patrons and passersby asked each other what was going on. Nothing like anything anyone has ever seen on TV. Lots of neighbors have their theories as to what was found and who put it there, but so far everything is just chisme, except for the huesos.
This afternoon the cool breeze came out of the northwest again. Very welcome. Enjoy it while it lasts. The humidity seems up a wee tad, but this cool air is in stark contrast to much of the country. There's over a 10°C difference between here and the Tierra Caliente not that far away in the sierra where temps are getting up to 40°C in the day. ¡Viva La Costa Grande!
If you choose your vacation lodgings depending on your definition of relaxation, then you have a wide variety from which to choose locally. Maybe it's a luxurious lodging with a pool overlooking Playa Manzanillo in Troncones like Inn at Manzanillo Bay, or maybe it's something a bit simpler reminiscent of the Old Zihuatanejo so many of us fell in love with like Bambutreehouse near the beach at Playa La Ropa. While the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa region isn't for everyone, lots of people sure seem to appreciate it for what it is and what it isn't. See if you can find your perfect lodging with just the right level of relaxation.
