Funny you say that

I have been watching the changes in Zihuatanejo for over 40 years. I agree that the bustling city of today has little resemblance to the town of 24 years ago. It would have been nice if the nature of that town had been preserved through the changes that have occurred over the decades.

I confess I find it easier to cross the paved streets that the cobblestone of 40 years ago, but still, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Although it seems to me that there aren’t many parking spaces either.

Maybe Mexico ought to have a Pueblito Mágico designation to preserve villages like Troncones.

Even the paved streets and sidewalks of the downtown area wouldn't be so bad if they weren't FAUX BRICK. The ONLY REASON they are faux brick is to drive the cost up to give more kickback to the politicians from the builders from the public budgets. In the current case, both the politician and the builder are the same entity. What I liked about the adoquín was it kept vehicle speeds down and it gave temporary work out of season to many albañiles to smooth out the streets every few years.
