Mazatlan as a tourist destination

I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of Mazatlan.. It has so much to offer.. the best part is the price.. for this Canadian Family girl, there is much to offer for only a few pesos. I really enjoy the people of Mazatlan. So many hardworking, friendly people!!!! The experience of Mazatlan will keep me coming back!!!
The beach

details, details

We went to Mazatlan in March 2003. My husband,myself ,and my brother and his wife. They had been to Mazatlan five times before and the four of us were in Acapulco in March 2001.

My brother had always said how much they enjoyed Mazatlan and that we would like it too!! What an understatement!!!! We LOVED IT!!! The weather, the prices, and shopping were the icing on the cake.. I also liked to visit the downtown market and the cathederal. There is so much to see.. ..
The cobbled streets of Copala
