La Madera

 Nestled between Zihua's Centro and Playa la Ropa, Colonia la Madera has become the place to be for great food, affordable lodging that still offers the stunning view of Zihuatanejo Bay, and a tight knit community. Framed by Playa Madera on one side and the canal on the other, the neighborhood is easily accessible and has a way of luring people back again and again. Restaurants on the beach are less expensive than la Ropa but offer the same fresh seafood and traditional beach fare. The bungalows and apartments that overlook the beach have sweeping vistas of the water and benefit from the fresh breezes. Down the hill, Calle Adelita has become the place to see and be seen with over half a dozen restaurants, each serving a completely different menu from the next.

don't miss: Plan your meals around the restaurants that line Calle Adelita and your days around a cold beer on the quiet Playa Madera. The neighborhood also boasts an international art gallery, beautiful condos, and two steep hills that should be part of everyone's workout regimen!
