A Trip Down Memory Lane, 2004

Troncones was a different place 22 years ago, but many of the names then are still familiar today

Originally published in February 2004 on MexicoFile.com, with the title, “A Winter Getaway on the Coast of Mexico: A Beach Paradise that is still a Paradise—The Tiny Mexican Beach Town of Troncones”. MexicoFile publisher Dave Simmonds gave us permission to run this here. The piece was written by writer/photographer Stuart Wasserman, who began traveling and writing in Mexico in 1973, as a college student, and who is still writing today. The best part? It’s either Stuart writing, “Troncones is a different kind of mango” or Dewey McMillin saying, “Ten years ago about 80 people from the town would walk the two and a half miles to the main road to go to work in Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo. Today 100 to 200 people come to Troncones every day for work.” There’s a lot more to like and to marvel at here, including Why Mexico? [a link at the end].

MOMS ARE THE BEST

A celebration in photos for dia de la madre this Sunday

There’s nothing like a mother’s look, a mother’s love or a mother’s embrace. We asked photographer Robert Celecia, a Majahua resident, if he had any portraits of mothers. The ones he sent beautifully conveyed the special place mothers hold in our community. We couldn’t help adding one of our own. Enjoy! And Happy Mother’s Day!

Troncones Fair 2026

The Troncones Ejido’s 16th annual “Expo Feria Eco-Turistica” got off to booming, spinning and sparkly start on Friday; events are scheduled each day this week

The Castillo started to sizzle around 9:45 on Friday, its rockets, sparklers and whistles going off perfectly, just as planned. “Everyone” was there to see its magic—people of all ages, from Los Llanos to Buena Vista, from Pantla to La Unión, turning out the first night of the Troncones Fair. The villages of Saladita, La Boca and Majahua were pretty much empty, except for their cats and dogs. And in Troncones, those critters went looking for a place to hide as their owners enjoyed the loudest and brightest community celebration of the year. The community events carry on through this week, a highlight being Thursday at 6 pm—a showcase of the restaurants of Troncones—a muestra gastronomica. That’s followed by boxing at 8 pm. We’ll be updating the calendar you’ll find after the photos. Check our GO section to see if there’s anything new. We’re still looking for the time of the donkey races.
