Downtown
Zihuatanejo in the late 60's and early 70's, was, for the
most part, an unpaved collection of a few blocks along the
bay shore and the road leading into town.
The
main landmarks in town at that time were the pier, the basketball
court and the open-air movie theater situated on Cuauhtemoc
Street.
The
original airport was located back of town, near the water
control canal area, between Zihuatanejo proper and the neighboring
town, Agua de Correa.
When we approached Zihuatanejo from Acapulco back then, we always felt relief in arriving at Agua de Correa - it was the sign that we were only 15 minutes away from Zihuatanejo and the beach!
