MAZATLAN

When it comes to beautiful beaches in Mexico, most people think Cancun or Acapulco. However, there is a special place that people often ignore. And Mazatlan! The beauty created by Mother Nature is unlike any other place in the world. Mazatlan is filled with beautiful beaches (some of which are semi-blank), extraordinary cuisine, deep historical value, and rich culture.

Mazatlan, at one time, was inhabited by indigenous peoples whose native language was Nahuatl. In fact, the name of the city comes from that language. Mazatl means "deer" and tlan means "place" and "abundance" So, essentially, Mazatlan meaning "Place of Deer" or "Place where deer are abundant." When the Spaniards arrived, they met and Totorames Xixim (two groups of indigenous residents). It was officially founded May 14, 1531 by 25 Spaniards sent by Don Nuno de Guzman. But in essence, Mazatlan is said to have been built by visionaries of different nationalities, including German, Spanish, French, North American, Italian, British and Asian. Testifying at the audacity of these visionaries are more than 450 monumental buildings still standing today that were built between the 19th and early 20th century. Today, this area came to be known, Mazatlan Viejo or Old Mazatlan and is only one of many attractions unavoidable.

Speaking of Viejo Mazatlan, you can not go to Mazatlan and not visit this piece of living history. As mentioned earlier, this part of the city has more than 450 buildings have been built in the 1800s and are in good working order today. One of the most remarkable monuments of Viejo Mazatlan is "El Teatro Angela Peralta" (Angela Peralta theater). Interestingly, this theater was inaugurated on what we know now that Valentine's Day, February 14, 1874. Another interesting fact is how the theater was named. It was configured to run a diva, but unfortunately she was infected with yellow fever and died shortly after. Thus, the theater is named for an artist who has never set foot on stage. What irony! However, time took its toll and the theater became a movie theater, it has been abandoned for some time and finally it was renovated and brought back to life. Today, El Teatro Angela Peralta, we are proud and standing as it became the perfect stage for numerous cultural and artistic events beginning with art festivals and even people around the world came to participate in the School of Arts. Because of the vastness of the art and history in Mazatlan, you can not leave without visiting El Museo de Arte and El Museo de Arquelogia.

If you do not want to stay inside, so I recommend you visit Mazatlan between February and March, which is when El Carnaval (Carnival) arrives. But during the summer, the weather is beautiful. Even if a little wet, it is always sunny and breeze. If you're lucky, you might get the opportunity to take a romantic walk in a steady rain. The average annual temperature of Mazatlan is 25 degrees Celsius or 77 degrees Fahrenheit, now it's my kind of weather!

And with time so great, why not dip your toe in shiny waves? Mazatlan has many beaches to choose from, including: Olas Altas (High Waves), Los Pinos (The Pines), Playa Norte (North Beach), Camaron (shrimp), Gaviotas (Seagulls), Playa Escondida (Hidden Beach), Cerritos (Little Hills), and El Delfin (the Dolphin). What makes Olas Altas special is the fact that he testified to many historical events. It was loading and unloading point for ships traveling around the world. It is part of Viejo Mazatlan, but we can do many activities such as surfing, sunbathing, and swimming. Los Pinos is one of the smaller beaches in Mazatlan, there is a local favorite, and users do not seem to Kee.
