Ixtapa

Zihuatanejo, orIxtapa-Zihuatanejo, is the fourth-largest city in theMexican stateofGuerrero. This town has been developed as a tourist attraction along with the modern tourist resort ofIxtapa, 5km (3.1mi) away. However, Zihuatanejo has kept its traditional town feel.The town is located on a well-protected bay which is popular with private boat owners during the winter months.

Zihuatanejo spent most of its history until recently as a sleepy fishing village.The federal government's decision to develop the nearby resort in the 1970s has had major implications for both the city and municipality of Zihuatanejo. The area is now the third most-visited area in Mexico, afterCancúnandPuerto Vallarta, and the most popular forsports fishermen.
