ˇAsí es! Oaxaca has hosted regular demonstrations by educators and others for years, but this summer it has gotten much more intense with a number of actions of civil unrest that have included damage to property, takeovers, thefts of vehicles and other destructive acts. Unfortunately, some people have also been injured. IMO, tourists in search of a trouble-free holiday should avoid the city of Oaxaca (though rural highland Oaxaca, such as Teotitlán del Valle, etc. should be fine.)
