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 some snippets from life in Acapulco.

To keep up with the local and latest national / international news you can read one of Acapulco’s three major newspapers. “El Sol de Acapulco” which costs 4 pesos and is published daily by the Organizacion Editorial Mexicana (Website: www.oem.com.mx ). This paper features extensive international and national as well as local news coverage.

Less extensive internationally but with good regional and local coverage is
found in “Novedades Acapulco”, a daily, family-oriented paper available city-wide for 4 pesos. (website: www.aca-novenet.com.mx )

For up-to-date regional 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 can e-mail: diario17@prodigy.net.mx
