| Fisherman's Village in Acapulco, Mexico |
Fisherman's Village in Acapulco Plaza Pescadores is definatly an off-the-beaten track option. This little area of the city is located off the marina behind Moraga Park in the Marina area of old Acapulco. You've heard of the Elephant graveyeard? This is the the Acapulco boat graveyard. It's hard to describe it, but boats are pilled on top of boats as fisherman repair their vessels and bring in fresh hauls of fish while herds cats run around looking for scrpas. I snapped this shot of a dead volkswagen bug that managed to get a plot there among the ships. There are wide sidewalks on each side and a concenrtation of great, if rustic and perhaps not totally sanitary, seafood restuarnats. The atmoshpere and the cheviche are good. I really like the place becuase it feel, well, real - a side of Acapulco life that most people don't get to see. This is not a place for those into luxury, but for those looking for a change of pace from the in-your-face tourism of the Golden Zone, you might like it. It's also not far from the Zocalo, La Quebrada and otehr areas of interest. One of the restaurants has a lively singer that I sware is a drag-queen becuase she's taller than me and dresses like the drag queen that stand around in the Condesa but everyone insists that she is an acutual female. We report, you decide.
