by Craig Zabransky on December 22, 2016 in Beach, Mexico Travel, Stay Luxurious
For many Mexico is country consisting on three main beach destinations; Los Cabos, the Riviera Maya and Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta.

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.

After two full days in San Blas, I booked the third night. The town still intrigued. And to celebrate I returned to the beach with my pen, journal and some pesos for a cerveza to watch the sunset. I arrived and selected one of the popular talapas and ordered a Pacifico. My mission to watch the […]
The Murals of San Blas
by Craig Zabransky on March 25, 2011 in Mexico Travel, Photo
After an early afternoon surfing session, I drove back towards town. I rented a car in Mexico and decided to take the road to the often obscure San Blas for a few days. A road trip designed for sun, surf, and cervezas. But like on any trip I discovered much more. I didn’t know San […]
