ZIHmulacro Sísmico Nacional 2026

We finally got a little rain Thursday night when a storm blew in, first with loud booms of thunder followed by heavy winds, then big fat drops that turned into a brief deluge. The wind died down after a short while, but the lightning and thunder continued, and the rain continued off and on for a couple of hours. By morning the pier was a muddy mess, and the few tourists who had charters scheduled and who wanted to go to Las Gatas had to tramp through the mud and do balancing acts to reach the pier. A damn shame no contingency plans were in place for the rains, but then the entire unnecessary and unwanted project has been poorly conceived and carried out.

Friday's temperatures have been extremely pleasant all day. What a relief from the oppressive heat and humidity of yesterday! Unfortunately the water in the bay is probably not safe for swimming due to the rain the night before. A shame local officials don't warn our visitors of the health risk.

Today was a day of extreme tides, for us, and the boat landings at the municipal pier were practically unusable. A shame floating landings weren't used instead of the cement structures that are already crumbling apart.

This Saturday at 12 noon there will be a Simulacro Sísmico Nacional. Those of you here in the Costa Grande with Mexican phone numbers will hear a loud alarm warning of an impending seismic wave. In our case we'll be responding to a simulated 7.7 earthquake with an epicenter in Tehuacán, Puebla. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, but it's good practice to be prepared and to know how to respond. So if you see people participating and you don't have a Mexican phone number, at least you'll know what's going on, so don't panic.

Don't miss the Eco-Tianguis "Sanka" that happens every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. until 1:40 p.m. in the small plaza in front of the Vicente Guerrero school, across the street from the Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande in downtown Zihuatanejo by the waterfront where La Boquita canal runs into the bay. If it looks like rain, then they'll set up in the Cancha Solidaridad two blocks to the east just off Avenida La Boquita. Besides wonderful handcrafts, they feature a variety of homegrown produce, fresh foods including pastries, breads and tamales, fresh coffee, juices and mezcal.
