La Puerta de Ixtapa (Local Shops and Market)
17° 39.5′ N · 101° 35.0′ W · approximate
The everyday Mexican neighborhood behind Ixtapa's hotel zone: grocery chains, pushcart vendors, bakeries, butchers, fish and chicken stands, hardware and key-cutting, all a few blocks apart and far cheaper than the resort strip.
Practical
Approximate: set on Paseo de los Viveros (OSM way 29547795); Mexico News Daily (March 2021) says you reach La Puerta on foot, by bike or scooter through a small path and gateway near the Fonatur building off Paseo de Los Viveros, and combi buses run from there to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. Two larger grocery chains had opened by 2021; local favorites are Freddy's Bar and Julio's Asadero tacos. The article does not mention laundry. For big provisioning runs, Soriana, Sam's Club and the market in Zihuatanejo are better stocked.
