PUERTO ESCONDIDO: A DAY AT CARRIZALILLO
A Cove without the waves for a change of scenery.
Carrizalillo is the beach in Puerto Escondido with the least waves. It is where the beginner surfers go to learn, as the other beaches of Zigatella and La Punta are for advanced surfers.
After you walk down a series of very steep steps to get to, Carrizalillo is dappled with restaurants, where you can pay either 100 Pesos for a deck chair, or alternatively spend that much on food and drink (100 pesos is conservatively eight dollars, which will get you a juice and some tacos).
There you can just chill out for the day, but be weary that if you need to go to the toilet you need to get the key form the first restaurant on the left as you are facing the beach and pay the equivalent of fifty cents.
PUERTO ESCONDIDO: HOLIDAY SEASON
Puerto Escondido is bracing itself for the festive rush of geriatric holiday makers.
America has a lot of holidays: almost as if to distract you from the cold weather. "Look over there"!. Apparently, Puerto Escondido peak season begins at Thanksgiving (where the Americans eat a feast whilst they give thanks that they have the resources to eat so much). On my way here, as mentioned in a previous post, there was a woman who looked like a something had vomited leopard print and trinket all over her who pushed me to get on the plane. Now it makes sense.
SUNSET POINT: NOT JUST A FUNNY NAME
#nofilter to be used a lot.
I love sunsets. Bathed in afternoon light everything looks younger, shinier and prettier. Including me. Which is why I take so many photos at that time. Good thing then that I am going to be at Sunset Point in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for the next month or two. This place is the purveyor of beautiful sunsets.
