When you see seriously spectacular vistas on every TV channel, it's hard not to get jelly. So why not spoil yourself with a holiday in El Espinal and experience the picture-postcard beaches and coastal plains of Oaxaca?
It's located 540 kilometres to the southeast of Mexico City, the capital city of Mexico.
Sitting 50 kilometres to the southwest, Playa Azul is a terrific spot to spend the day enjoying the sound of the waves. Las Escolleras Beach also offers some unforgettable views. You'll find this enticing shoreline 40 kilometres to the southwest.
Don't be surprised if you find a few like-minded travellers at Church of Asunción Ixtaltepec.
Tehuantepec House of Culture and Guiengola Archaeological Site aren't far from the middle of Tehuantepec, 30 kilometres to the southwest of El Espinal. Why not make your way there and have a look?
When the time comes to release your inner adventurer, get involved in some mountain climbing. That said, there aren't many better ways to discover the wonder of the region's landscapes than with a little hiking.
When it comes to leisurely pursuits, there's nothing better than venturing outside and going picnicking or sunbathing.
Why waste precious time trying to figure out what to do with your day when the hard work can be left in the hands of experts? Guided nature walks and city walking tours make sightseeing fun and easy.
Practise one of your hobbies or try out something new on the waters around Oaxaca. There are a number of exhilarating watersports on offer, such as swimming and snorkeling.
The region's art museums, history museums and craft workshops offer something for everyone. Take a look inside and see what's happening.
Go on a relaxed walk and fill your lungs with fresh air at the surrounding area's open-air exhibits and open-air markets.
If you're looking to discover more about the region's history, pay a visit to some ruins, traditional villages and old towns. Pull out your map, do a bit of research and pick a favourite.
Want to add some deeper meaning to your getaway? Whether you're after a spiritual experience or simply interested in learning about the local faith, stop by some of the surrounding churches, cathedrals, temples and monasteries.
There's a whole world of amazing flavours waiting to say hello to your taste buds in Oaxaca. With plenty of tempting things to eat and drink, all you need to bring along is your appetite — and perhaps a pair of stretchy slacks.
You don't need to spend all night reading through the restaurant menu while in El Espinal. Get stuck right in and order some of the region's most well-known dishes, such as tlayudas (giant tortilla with beans, cheese, avocado and tomato) and empapelado (steamed fish).
Dessert is always OK on holiday, so why not treat yourself to a little oaxaca chocolate? It's worth every scrumptious calorie!
Make use of your transit time by memorising some expressions in Spanish. You'll be glad you learnt 'Mucho gusto Encantado', which translates as 'pleased to meet you'. '¡Perdón!', which means 'excuse me', is also quite common.
What better way to get to know a place than by experiencing a day of national celebration? There'll be many festivities arranged for Independence Day on the 16th of September.
When it comes time to say "Adiós" to El Espinal, don't be sad — you can always come back!
