by Craig Zabransky on February 17, 2013 in Sunset Sunday
Sunday’s spectacular Carnaval Parade in Mazatlán even provided the 400,000 who lined the malecón with a vibrant half time show – the sunset.

It’s widely discussed and […]

by Craig Zabransky on November 12, 2010 in Destination
The van pulled over and we climbed out of the vehicle into a sea of friendly merchants. With tourists stopping by all day, the vendors set up and greet you with ‘buen precio and muy barato” (good prices and very cheap). Only after you navigate through the wood carvings, silver souvenirs, and the other assorted […]
