A Pacific Coast Mexican Road Trip through Riviera Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on April 29, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel
The more I discover through travel in Mexico, the more comfortable I am recommending the road trip and exploring Mexico on your own. One perfect place to rent a car in Mexico and drive the coast is through Riviera Nayarit. Like exploring the Mayan Ruins of the Yucatan, directions are simple and one main coastal […]
Dive into Guerrero from the Cliffs of La Quebrada in Acapulco
by Craig Zabransky on March 18, 2015 in Destination, Mexico Travel
Acapulco, the coastal city in the state of Guerrero was once “the” destination in Mexico, if not the world. And for some it still remains a must see visit whether for the nostalgia, the beaches and the views of the Bay of Acapulco, or its incredible nightlife. My friends and I did an annual weekend […]

Besides meandering […]

Though Baja California boasts urban centers Tijuana and Ensenada as up-and-coming culinary capitals, ranches, farms, vineyards and open spaces define most of the state’s actual landscape. I was in Ojos Negros recently touring a dairy farm and cheese cellar when I came upon these birds having a siesta, Baja style. Best Mexico Travel Tip There […]
Still plenty of Magic on the Island of Mexcaltitan, Nayarit with its Zarandeado
by Craig Zabransky on March 11, 2015 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Destination, Mexico Travel
Mexcaltitán may no longer be an official Pueblo Magico, but there is plenty of magic left on this sleepy fishing island. The magic exists in the Mexican must order Zarandeado or spelled Sarandeado (naturally I prefer the “Z” spelling). This fish dish is available along the coast of Nayarit and also on menus in southern Sinaloa, […]
