Welcome to Another Day in Paradise,
It’s March and that means only one thing in Zihuatanejo: the Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival! March 8 – 13, the streets will be full of music in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo as 16 international artists converge on Zihuatanejo from across the globe. On offer will be Gala Dinner Shows, Bar Shows, Concerts and free to the public events. Coming to us from as close as Morelia, and as far away as South Africa, the artists represent world class talent in diverse genres, from classical, to jazz to blues, to rock and all points in between.
