Having just spent Christmas 2021 and 10 days at ElCid Marina this article highlighted places we saw and actually enjoyed! Hector’s is a gem and we enjoyed a delicious meal. We will visit it again as we are going back for another 2 weeks in June. Since Mazatlan is both a working city and tourist destination getting around is very reasonable. We traveled from the Marina area into Centro on a public bus. It was a 25 minute ride with AC but only cost .60 cents US per person!! We arrived safely and with no hassles 3 blocks to see the Plaza Machado / theater area which is so alive at night. The open air taxis– puloninas– are also fun and reasonable to use to get around. Seafood is plentiful and cheap!! Getting around is so much easier than Cancun and a fraction of the cost. There’s no monopoly on taxi costs. Many hotels and resorts in Mazatlan give you the freedom to walk outside and explore easily. In the Rivera Maya, we have found us to be ‘resort locked’ with pricey cab fares to leave and explore. I highly recommend giving this area a look foe a nice vacation or more!

I’m always delighted to read yet another of Richard’s well-crafted descriptions of exciting places. Halina Kubalski has an eye for capturing the colorful sights and events. Together they invite the reader to travel to the beautiful places they visit, and make us wish we could begin our travels today.

With this article we learned so much about Mazatlan, for us it was just another Mexican resort.
Now we realize what a gem it is. The bad part is that with the current situation we have to wait for while before travel will go back to normal.
Thanks for the beautiful and inviting description.

Wow, this is a very good eye opening article about Mazatlan. My wife and I were there once but obviously we missed a lot and now we are very eager to go to Mazatlan again to see and enjoy so much that we now know we missed. Thank you, Travellingboy for bringing so much to our lives, and in such a romantic, descriptive and colorful article. We’ve found a real “Gem”.
