Mexico's Costalegre Has Unspoiled Beaches, Rare Turtle Species, and Sunsets That Light the Sea on Fire

"An ocean-facing, tucked-away restaurant celebrated for its namesake local salt—harvested by a nearby schoolteacher and described as low in sodium with a floral, slightly nutty finish—that is served as a small tasting and sets the tone for the menu. The cuisine highlights refined, ingredient-driven seafood preparations: examples praised by the reviewer include hamachi al pastor, flauta de mar, marinated sliced tuna, king crab wrapped in a blue-corn tortilla, and a crisp corn tostada topped with octopus, chipotle aguachile, and avocado—each dish presented with evident care, craftsmanship, and strong ties to regional producers." - Ingrid Rojas Contreras Ingrid Rojas Contreras Ingrid Rojas Contreras is a writer and best-selling novelist who was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. Her essays and short stories have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Cut, and elsewhere. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
