Mazatlán is a Top Summer Vacation Choice: Here's Why

MAZATLÁN, Mexico, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- There are all sorts of reasons to travel to Mazatlán: the beaches, the food, the festivals, the super-friendly local people, the historic areas and museums, and much more. But, according to El Cid Vacations Club, summer is one of the best times to kick back in Mazatlán and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

The jewel of Mexico's west coast, Mazatlán is at almost the exact same geographic latitude as Hawaii, which means that the weather is perfect and the scenery even better. The city offers some unique benefits that often go unnoticed by travel reviewers.

For one thing, Mazatlán is not a "tourist spot" like some of the other summer beach destinations. It is a medium-sized city with all the amenities that entails, but without the crowded tourist atmosphere that travelers often find when they head to the beaches. Those who visit Mazatlán are able to truly interact with the local residents, get to know the nightlife and beach scene, and come away with a deeper understanding of Mexican culture, plus some fantastic vacation memories.

El Cid Vacations Club points out that summertime is the best season to take in a Mazatlán vacation, which should include lots of local restaurant exploring and beach-filled days in the sun. In addition to the more traditional summer fare, Mazatlán is convenient for those who want to take short day-trips and see some of the rich local history. There are even geological curiosities that include unique rock formations and ancient petroglyphs.

Visitors are routinely pleased by the fresh seafood in Mazatlán's many restaurants. In fact, there are some establishments where workers will actually head out on the ocean waters and bring fresh oysters directly to your table. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

Mazatlán truly has something for everyone. Its new area, known as Nuevo Mazatlán, is the most modern part of the city. The seaside walkway called Malecón is quite popular for those who want to wander along the beach while in close proximity to restaurants and shops. All the central beaches and retail shops are in the Golden Zone, where it is common to indulge in a bit of celebrity-watching most summers. Finally, the Historic District dates from the 1880s, when many German settlers arrived to take part in Mazatlán's gold rush.

There is always something fun and exciting to do in Mazatlán, whether one prefers sand and sun or eating at some unique local restaurants. El Cid Vacations Club recommends a summer getaway trip to Mazatlán as a way to cure the winter blues and spring fever.
