Barra Vieja
A rustic long-sand beach village about 30 kilometers southeast of the Diamante zone, famous for pescado a la talla, a whole fish grilled over charcoal, and boat tours of the Laguna de Tres Palos.
Barra Vieja is a rustic village with a long sandy beach about 30 kilometers southeast of the Diamante zone. A row of thatched-roof restaurants lines the sand, and their signature dish is pescado a la talla, a whole snapper marinated in chili paste and grilled over charcoal, which is considered one of the birthplaces of this famous Guerrero dish. Behind the beach, the Laguna de Tres Palos offers boat tours through its mangroves. The open-sea waves are large, so swimming is not advised. The village is about 25 minutes by car from the airport, and visitors are advised to go there and back during the day.
