Shopping in the Mercado in Zihuatanejo is a must do if you are ever in town.  It is huge!  There is the indoor area, an outdoor area on Mango Street and every inch of real estate on the surrounding streets.  It literally takes up whole blocks.  It is quite an adventure to provision the boat here.  I did go up to the Comericial Mexicana (Mega) and was not very impressed with it at all.  A good place to buy wine is at the MERZA on Mango Street.  They have a nice wine selection, the more you buy the cheaper it is by the bottle.  When I'm provisioning the boat I like to go have a look see at what is available first and shop on another day so I have more of a game plan to get the provisions back to the boat.  Just try and carry the contents of your Safeway shopping cart more than a mile, then pack it into a dinghy on a shore where there is surf!
