We were in the right place at the right time to catch this years International Guitar Festival 2011 in Zihuatanejo. Amazing! Outstanding! are just a few words I can think of the say about the festival. It was very well put together and the price was right. The cost to attend a session was 100 pesos, plus your dinner and drinks. The venues all held varying amounts of people. We went to two shows a Paccolos with SV Zeppelin and there where only about 60 other people there.
The opening concert was held in Ixtapa, Plaza Ixpamar the cost was $500 pesos with dinner and all you can drink. We did not attend however I heard it turned out to be a very nice evening.
We did attend the closing concert on March 12 at the Zihuatanejo Centro. The cost was $250 pesos plus dinner, drinks and a taxi ride. Total for the evening was about $360 pesos per person. This was probably the highlight for us. It was a jam session that included all the artist that performed at the festival. Wow, you would never no these people only just met this week. The talent up there on the stage was staggering. My hats off the the women artist! They BELTED out the song lyrics and played those guitars with all their hearts. I couldn't say I had a favorite as they all had such different styles. They were all wonderful.
