Is there a pickleball group in the SA/Mazunte/Zipolite or anyone interested in starting one?by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Is anyone else having trouble getting propane gas? We have guests coming tomorrow and unless we can locate a filled tank soon they are going to be showing in cold water. We've never had a problem in the past.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
The beaches at Mazunte, San Agustinillo, and Zipolite are closed and there are roadblocks set up to keep all but local traffic from coming in. This is effective until April 30.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Oaxaca City is a beautiful place.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
I know nothing about flights from Canada to Oaxaca but do know the highway to the coast well. Allow at least 6 hours to drive from Oaxaca to the coast. The highway through the mountains is very curvy so you'll want to take something for your motion sickness. It's a beautiful ride.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
The female victim was hospitalized with injuries to her hand requiring surgery.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
I hate sharing this but it's important for people to be aware that crime happens everywhere, even "Pueblos Mágicos".by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Zipolite! The Italian deli has some decent wine and cheeses. With all the inexpensive, good restaurants there's no need to buy a lot of groceries. Las Mangoes has rentals, a pool, and is very secure.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
A revision to my last post. On the way back to the coast via 175 today we ran into two bloqueós. The were both north of Miahuatlan and one had a long detour. It added about an hour to the trip but was quite interesting!by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
We have been here for two weeks and have seen no blockades.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
Oaxaca City is very safe. We spend a lot of time there and have never had any problems. Like any place crimes do occur there but I feel perfectly safe walking around alone. According to the U.S. State Department the Fortin Hill area should be avoided but again, we've walked there many times with no problems. Taxi's are plentiful and cheap. Oaxaca is a beautiful city and the peopleby Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca

What options are available in Oaxaca City for English language TV service? Thanks in advance.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
I am and we buy our mattresses and appliances from Casa Bonita. As you said they are great. We've rented a house in Oaxaca City and we're shopping for a queen-size bed and mattress but decided to use one of those kits to make two twins into a king.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca
We live in San Agustinillo and when we left on the 25th the Pemex stations were out of gas. There were taxis but fewer than normal. On the coast there weren't really any serious food shortages. Good luck.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Check the Puerto Escondido forum and/or repost this there. At least one contributor has driven through the mountains to Oaxaca.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
We need to buy a queen-size mattress and bed frame and prefer not to shop at big-box stores. Any suggestions? Gracias in advance.by Frijole Contador - City of Oaxaca

We were talking about Huatulco airport, right?by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
There are several ATMs in HUX. There is at least one Santander and a couple of Banamex. There may be others but I prefer Santander because it usually gives some smaller bills. We've never had problems however bring VISA or MasterCard since a friend's American Express card wouldn't work.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Best grocery store is Siete Regiones.by Frijole Contador - Puerto Angel
When will you be coming? Parking may be tight on the main street going through town and on the street going down to the rinconcita from now until about mid January but after that you should be okay. The little side streets are usually narrow which can create a problem if there's not enough space for another vehicle to pass.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Zipolite is alive and well. The beach looks fine although since I don't swim there can't answer your question about water depth.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Late this morning a small tornado hit the west end of Mazunte. It came in from the ocean. We were in Pochutla at the time but were told there was first a small spout then 15 minutes later a tornado. As far as I know there were no injuries but we did see some damage. Here between Mazunte and San Agustinillo we had no damage, just a lot of leaves to rake up.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
Mmmm!! What time will the pulled pork be ready on Sunday?by Frijole Contador - Puerto Angel
Where, mas or menos, is Tio Chilo's? What time this Sunday will you be serving pulled pork?by Frijole Contador - Puerto Angel
We just returned from Oaxaca City and there is a road block south of San Jose. They aren't letting anyone through however there is a lengthy way around on a rough mountain track. We thought our car wouldn't make it but we did.by Frijole Contador - San José del Pacifico
There is a Casa de Salud in Mazunte, at least one doctor in Zipolite and another in Puerto Angel, as well as a very good private clinic in Pochutla. No need to worry!by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
I believe there is a place to rent bikes on the main road of Mazunte near the turtle museum.by Frijole Contador - Zipolite - Mazunte - Agustinillo - Ventanilla
