Viva San Pancho: Views from a Mexican Village

Five American women offer you a look at life in San Pancho, Nayarit, a village on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Their essays paint a collective picture, vivid as a San Pancho sunset, of what is soul-satisfying, charming—and sometimes frustrating—about a place they have come to love. Why did they choose San Pancho? What’s it like for them to live in a culture not their own, and what do they do all day? The authors answer these questions in humorous, richly detailed stories about friends and neighbors, homes and gardens, and a daily life that’s never dull.
