Okay, if you’re really precise, it’s actually just the Avenida del Morro and some of the side streets near Playa Zicatela – there’s always jewellery, bags and souvenirs for sale here in the evenings. So a few Mexicans sit out with tables and basically sell stuff to tourists. It wasn’t my favourite place to go shopping, but of course it’s there.
The Avenida del Morro was exactly the detour I needed to see what Puerto Escondido looks like away from the beautiful beaches. The picture was subtly different, sometimes I had to laugh a little – anyone who understands Spanish and/or knows Mexico will know which pictures – but mostly it was interesting how big the discrepancy was. I mean, I doubt that anyone but a weirdo like me will ever get lost there because everyone is focused on the beaches, surfing, their holiday or chilling out or whatever. Nevertheless, I found the detour extremely interesting. And of course I also went to Puerto Escondido, but… between you and me, it looked like any random Mexican town near a beach. Avenida del Morro, on the other hand, I found somehow interesting. Because it was so authentic and without filters. So is the beach, but I just found it interesting to see what a beach resort in Mexico looks like when you leave the beach. And that’s exactly what I got.
There or not? No. You don’t have to. Well, you’re very welcome to, but if you’re not like me and don’t like taking photos of these kinds of places, then this isn’t for you. So take a look at the pictures and maybe you can guess which ones made me grin or laugh 😊
