Malacon

I was quite impressed that there were some workers fixing some of the posts along the Malacon in La Madera. As to the people that I talked to, they were La Madera residents that contributed and were doing the work ( wheres the city that is suppossed to look after and fix the infrastructure). The Malacon is a truly eyesore for Zihua for a long time with the dangerous deteriation of the posts, lookouts and the walk way itself. The city administration want to boast about how they want the Blue Flag Beach designation so they bar dogs from the beach then nothing else is done. If these star gazers in the administration really want to do something for the community and tourism DO SOMETHING PROGRESSIVE. Fix the waste water infrastructure so the coliform count isn't so high in the bay. How about fixing the infrastructure when it is needed. Congradulations to the La Madera group.

Yes, a hearty hail to the neighbors of La Madera who took it upon themselves to step up when their public servants failed them. They deserve a huge ¡GRACIAS! from all of us who use and appreciate the Paseo del Pescador. When I was courting my wife you had to get your feet wet to get from El Centro to La Madera. The walkway was a welcome improvement. This is actually the second walkway. The first one also got neglected to death. You can still see pieces of it here and there if you look.

Great news...too bad it had to be residents of the colonia doing the work!
While the work certainly needs doing, I don't think we should conflate repairs to the malecon with the Blue Flag beach boondoggle.
IMHO, the malecon needs to be maintained, the beach designation belongs in el basurero.

I'm trying to think how I can support the La Madera group of citizens who are working on the Malacon. Will visit late Nov for a few weeks and would love to donate labor time and/or money. Can anyone tell me how to proceed and or who to contact?

We have always stayed on La Madera a few days before heading up to Troncones; my wife loves walking into the town (wait, city of Z) along this path. We tend now just to go straight to Troncones. We live in a small town, like small towns. Zihua is beautiful but it seems to be getting to be ...like a city. We too, finally got a bicycle path for miles, leading right up to our Glacier National Park. It took years of fundraisers, donations, awareness to get the cash. God forbid the politicians take any out of their election campaigns.
