This beach is El Rescalillo, it's beside La Madera Beach.
This is Las Gatas Beach. Do you know what Las Gatas mean? You can see the reef that the Tarasco Kings Caltzontzin, Tanganxoan II or Tzitzipandacuri made for the pleasure of his Family so that they can swim safely and enjoy the Beautiful beaches of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo.
On Playa Principal lots of History and Storys to tell ask anyone that has come to zihuatanejo in the 50's, 60's or 70's. In this photo you can see my uncle Pablo, cousin Dacmar, and me. 1972

A photo of the old days, as you can see on your right the Fishermans walk is not finished, the hills do not have many homes yet, and the Ayuntamiento (city hall) the building that is made of rock is ready to be used. Today it is a museum.
