Spring in the Troncones area of Mexico feels like a festival in motion, full of color, music and joy.
Music floats from open windows, streets bloom with papel picado, and the scent of roasted chiles drifts from family kitchens. It’s the season when celebration spills into everyday life, and Villa Milagro puts you in the middle of everything.

Weekly and Ongoing Local Experiences
Pozole Thursdays
In Guerrero, Thursday is pozole day. Local eateries in Troncones and nearby towns serve this beloved dish with all the fixings, green, red or white, alongside mezcal or chilled beer. It’s more than a meal; it’s how locals kick off the weekend in style.
Troncones Artisan Markets
On market days, the village comes alive with color and creativity. It’s your chance to browse handcrafted textiles, pottery, jewelry, and regional foods. You might find a handwoven bag dyed with local herbs or a ceramic bowl fired in a backyard kiln. Each piece has a story connecting you to the people who made it.
Turtle Releases (May through October)
A short drive from the Villa, families and nature-lovers gather for one of the coast’s most unforgettable traditions. Join local conservationists as they guide baby sea turtles toward the ocean—tiny flippers kicking up sand as they race for their first taste of the waves. It’s cultural, it’s environmental and it’s pure magic.
Day Trips That Take You Deeper
While the Villa is a dream in itself, there’s even more to discover just a short distance away.
For example, take a short ride to the village of Majahua where fishermen haul in their morning catch and families gather for fresh ceviche by the shore.
Or head inland to visit a family-run cacao farm where you can taste real chocolate at its source.
These quiet adventures round out the region’s rhythm and add depth, flavor, and lasting memories to your trip.
Why Stay at Villa Milagro During Festival Season?
The Villa puts you in the middle of everything.
Between the cultural celebrations, you can saddle up for a horseback ride along the shoreline where golden light paints the sand and the waves keep pace beside you. Or book an open-air massage under a palm-thatched palapa, the breeze and ocean sounds lulling you into deep relaxation.
Start your morning with fresh tropical fruit and yoga by the sea. Linger by the infinity pool in the afternoon, mezcal cocktail in hand, as the sea breeze drifts in. Here, even downtime feels extraordinary.
And when you venture out for a morning of dancing, exploring or cheering on wave-riders, you’ll come home to your private villa. Dinner’s ready. The waves whisper outside your window, and everything feels just right.
The staff can help arrange transportation, book festival outings, or connect you with guides who know the area like family. This isn’t sightseeing. It’s soul-filling.
