This used to be a gravel kind of dirt road down to the beach. Now it's nicely tiled and leads to the new Malecon.

Here is the new walkway or Malecon along the beach. It also used to be a dirt path at one point, with wooden crates for garbage and little hand writtne signs from school children asking us not to pollute.

This is a great shot, I saw that because the canal is not the most lovely looking waterway, but I caught it lit up and reflected. I like it

Off the main road you can take this shortcut to the beach. It's pretty steep and lined with luxury condos.

Look at these fancy rocks...are they ancient Mayan ruins, some mystical stones from Stonehenge? No, just an effective way to say "NO Parking"

About 5 years ago, the new mayor or someone came up with the theme, Zihua, cuidad de todos. The city for everyone. So there have been a lot of changes that I will talk about in another post.

There are some downsides of progress, this green fencing wasn't here last year, there was chain linked fence with great views, like you a can see in the next picture. Now you can't see the bay at all. I don't know why this has happened, maybe they are building something, or the people in the condos right below this fence didn't want looky loos.

This is a hill on the far south side of La Ropa and I believe this is where you are going to see a lot of building in the future. In fact in the middle of the picture is a new 6 level building under construction.

There are some dangers in Mexican real estate. These condos, Sotavento, have been being built for 20 years. The original investors have probably died by now. I don't know if it will ever be finished.
