Living in Acapulco “See you on the beach after English class!” Living in Acapulco, this is an all-too-common phrase of sorts. But after the beach, there’s far more to do and see. Here are numerous snippings from life in Acapulco. To keep up with the local and latest national / global news you may read one of Acapulco’s three major newspapers. “El Sol de Acapulco” which costs 4 pesos and is published every day by the Organizacion Editorial Mexicana (Website: http://www.oem.com.mx ). This paper features extensive international and national as well as local news coverage. Less spacious globally but with good territorial and local coverage is found in “Novedades Acapulco”, a daily, family-oriented paper available city-wide for 4 pesos. (website: http://www.aca-novenet.com.mx ) For up-to-date territorial news for the state of Guerrero, “Diario Guerrero” is the paper to read. It isn’t web based, and features political news and events for the four pesos you plunk down. For sending commentary or just putting in your two cents worth, you may e-mail: diario17@prodigy.net.mx What’s Around Acapulco to Do and See? You’re kidding, right? Well.

Review”In terms of comprehensiveness of coverage, the very accessible format, and the enthusiastic tone, this series remains one of the best on the market.” –Booklist About the AuthorEach Fodor’s Travel Guide is researched and written by resident experts. Most helpful customer reviews 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Maps are a very strong point. The back of the book contains a fine pull-out map of Rome, with the Termini rail station at the far right edge but with the Piazza dei Cinquecento (right in front of it) clearly visible. From here to the left, the map clearly locates and labels the central Rome sights most tourists want to see–Piazza del Popolo is at the far north, the Aventine Hill and Trastevere are at the far south and Vatican City is at the right of the map. Major streets are boldly labelled and slightly less major streets are also clearly legible. Venice gets similar treatment excepting for the islands in the lagoon (a more general map on p. 216 shows them and also locates the airport.) Within each section of the book there are detailed neighborhood maps in color of the major cities and places tourists might like to visit. For Rome, these detailed maps extend the coverage found on the pull-out. This book doesn’t stint on the number of pages, is printed on quality, matte coated paper and uses a very legible typeface. I don’t recommend using just one guidebook for a major European tour. I always buy a Fodor’s and supplement it with other guides, including D-K, Frommer’s and Rick Steves. This volume is an excellent choice for homing in on an Italian itinerary and for boning up on a tour to several of Italy’s ‘regiones.’ Each entry is suffcient to let you decide whether or not you want to include a place or attraction and most entries provide enough information to give a general understanding of the significance of what you will find there. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. 0 of 4 people found the following review helpful. |
