Once I made the decision to purchase an apartment in Zihuatanejo, every time I visited I stayed in a different area. Sometimes I had a view, sometimes not; sometimes I could walk everywhere, sometimes it was taxi service daily. In 2019 I rented an apartment in La Madera for the first time. In 2021 and 2022 I stayed in other neighborhoods, but once I started looking for an apartment officially, I knew La Madera would be home. The proximity to town, walk-ability, beautiful street art, restaurants, and enclave-like feel were exactly what I wanted.
