We spent a few weeks on Mazatlan last month. We flew in as we were meeting up with in-laws. We tried to get out on a local tour every few days. We visited little towns up in the mountains and got to see various artisans doing their thing. Mazatlan itself is too busy and noisy for us and their is a ton of construction making it worse. But we enjoyed the little towns and the beach and the food. We were a group of four with our own tour guide and we’re able to get into the local culture a bit like we always do.
Zihuat is still our go to although next year (or next time) it will probably San Miguel for a few weeks or so and we’ll be flying again. We still RV bit our tow vehicle is electric and the supercharger corridor from north to south on the pacific side is still very spotty. Someday. Probably after Tesla opens their new factory in Monterrey in 2025.
