Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico
OUR SISTER CITY: Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo lies 144 miles northwest of Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero on the Mexican Riviera. It is, in fact, two destinations in one: Ixtapa – a world-class tourist resort and Zihuatanejo – a sleepy fishing village – the dream “getaway” from the movie “The Shawshank Redemption”.
