Welcome to Another Day in Paradise!
Zihuatanejo is looking better than ever lately and if the city could speak, I think she’d be singing. What a joy it was to see the streets so full and festive during this year’s Carnival! There was much dancing in the streets, family fun, community pride and real exuberance–a shame it only comes once a year!
(Hands in the air, wave ‘em like you just don’t care!)
Ecology and the environment were the dominant themes of the animated and automated floats, with whales, turtles and other gigantic spewing animals wondrously winding their way through town. Check out our community section for photos of the festivities. (And speaking of ecology, don’t forget up next month is our second annual ADIP Eco-Issue.)
If you missed the Carnival, don’t worry, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is full of “Unlimited Fun” all season long and this month has plenty of activities to keep you out on the streets. Every weeknight during high season, free concerts and shows are on offer in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo’s plazas: music and dance performances, art exhibits, and interactive activities for the entire family. The weather has been gorgeous, perfect for strolling, so come out and enjoy it: Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights in Ixtapa, and Tuesday and Thursday nights in Zihuatanejo, see our events section for more information.
Also up this month is the seventh annual Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival, a week of live music in paradise. ZIGF has been gathering enthusiastic fans among artists and audience alike for six years and comes back in 2010 with three dinner concerts and two bar shows March 17 –20, see our community section for ticket information and who’s playing.
But it’s not all about the party here at ADIP, we also have features on Mexican history, art, culture, food, travel and even taxes too! But let’s be honest, this time of year, it is mainly about the party! So, what are you waiting for, turn the page, and as Pink says: Let’s get this party started.
Until next time,
