Go ahead, you can have Tulum. We’ll pass on the overpriced cuisine served by expats in chic popup restaurants and crowded hotels overrun with vacationing New Yorkers. For us, we’ll take relatively subdued surf town of Puerto Escondido any day.
Located on the Pacific in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the emerging town is home to some of the best surf, best food, and best architecture, though it’s only recently getting known for it. One individual helping put the region on the map is young architect Aranza de Ariño. Why? Take Casa Tiny for starters.
