Experience Mazatlán

When we arrived in Mazatlán I discovered we were leaving the next day, typical of the touring life. But lucky for me its not a very big city. Mazatlán is located on the Pacific Coast, a population around 500,000, and is the largest port between L.A. and the Panama Canal.

After we arrived I had plenty of time to kill before the show that night. So, we all had lunch, enjoyed the sun, and then went to rest. Rest? Well, I didn’t. I went back to my room, put on my shorts and hit the beach. The beach is not your white sand beach that you would find in Cancun, but who’s complaining… I am at the beach and that’s good enough for me. In fact, the beach just reminded me of being in Santa Monica, CA., or further up north in Santa Cruz. The vibe in Mazatlán is very laid back and caters mainly to tourist’s who come for the nice but cheaper Mexico Resorts. Near the hotel there were many restaurants, cafes, and places for shopping. The food was delicious and this is something I will probably repeat much in my blogs, especially if I am blogging about a coastal city. I have found the food near the coast to be extremely fresh(especially the seafood), and is overall pretty incredible. Not to mention that Mexican people take their food very seriously and because of that it is prepared with a lot of love.

Mazatlán is not as expensive as other vacation spots which is why the Mazatlán resorts do very well and are never overcrowded, but Mazatlán is still very beautiful. So if your planning on traveling, your pesos will go further here, without sacrificing quality.

Happy Travels!
