Acapulco Zócalo and Costera Seafood Walk

Local guides in Acapulco, booked through hotels and regional tour operators, lead this walk from the Zócalo along the Costera Miguel Alemán and inland to Mercado Central for a look at the morning catch. The route covers roughly two kilometers of walking, alternating a beachfront stroll with two seated tastings. Stops include aguachile and ceviche de camarón at a Costera restaurant, pescado a la talla at a beachfront palapa, and a walk through the fish stalls of Mercado Central. The price includes all tastings, bottled water and the guide's commentary on Acapulco Bay's fishing economy; alcohol and hotel transport to the meeting point are not included. Groups typically run eight to fourteen people, conducted in Spanish and English, with a pace that allows time to browse the market stalls. Shellfish allergies are difficult to accommodate given the seafood focus, though the guide can flag which specific dishes to skip.
