Social Clubs
When you head to Mazatlan to check things out, a fun and easy way to get info is to visit the expat social clubs.
You’ll get opinions on everything from other expats, from banking in Mexico to hearing about the wonderful theater downtown.
Once you’re here, you’ll probably find even more organizations! Here are some of the groups to check out:

Whether you’re an expat or a native, there are seven Association’s Mexicana Automovillistica throughout Mexico.
I had originally thought there were no auto clubs in Mexico that sort of correspond to our AAA, American Automobile Association – but I was wrong. I have their contact phone numbers as an addition in my book Retire In Luxury.
You will find most of the meetings have a listing in the local newspaper – Pacific Pearl.
