Foodies, we’ve got it all for you
If you’re the type of traveller that loves to eat their way through the destinations they visit, then Mazatlán should definitely be on your list of places to go! More than 30% of food consumed in Mexico is sourced from Mazatlán, so you know it’s got the goods.

El Cid Marina Beach is a great home base to go ham at these local food markets – plus its three for the price of one with complete access to nearby El Cid resorts!
Move over Paris, it’s Mazatlán’s time to shine
There’s more than one way to explore a destination and one our faves is by taking in the local culture first hand. On the first Friday of every month from now until April, you can join in on the Mazatlán Art Walk. Spanning 17 years, this self-guided tour through Downtown Mazatlán and its Historic Centre takes you through local galleries where artists exhibit, promote and sell their work. Focusing more on fine art, you can expect to see paintings, sculptures, photography, ceramics and more telling Mazatlán’s dynamic tales, not to mention the beauty of the streets themselves! North of the downtown core, near the iconic Mazatlán sign is the stylish Playa Mazatlán Beach Hotel, featuring one of the most gorgeous zero-entry pools and a pirate-themed splash pool for kids!

St. Patrick’s Day gets a tropical twist in Pacific Mexico! It might surprise you to find out that there are plenty of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations happening in destination, both at Mazatlán all inclusive resorts and at the city’s bars and beaches! Plenty of Canadians and Americans live in Mazatlán year-round so you’ll feel right at home. This year, the bash will be held at Playa La Escopama where you can raise a glass with locals, expats and other tourists. We can’t guarantee there’ll be Guinness but why not try a crisp Pacifico, brewed in Mazatlán since 1900! After a day of beach fun, you can retire in style at Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, just a short drive away.
Magical moments in magic towns
Trust us, magical is the perfect way to describe these enchanting pueblos, historic towns outside of Mazatlán that charm us with every visit. Take Cosalá, once a prosperous mining town that now attracts troves of travellers with its colourful colonial architecture and stunning views at the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains, surrounded by lush landscapes. Schedule your getaway in early March and you can join in on the celebrations of its Founding Day. If you’re looking for something more traditional, El Rosario, or The Rosary, hosts religious ceremonies in early April that have been going for over 100 years! El Cid Granada is the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding pueblos, with a magic all its own like family-friendly amenities, Smile Resorts™ perks and more!
