Clean, Visually Striking, and People Friendly

I've been coming to Zihuatanejo since 2007. So, not a newbie. I just got an up close and personal look at the new walkway (Malecon?) at the end of Playa La Ropa starting by La Gaviota restaurant.

Bravo. Absolutely stunning! Contrary to Zihua Rob's opinion--and questions of Mayoral cement grift and complaints of "ecocide"--the once dusty, pothole-laden gravel road (that seemed like an afterthought from bygone years) with many cars parked "willy nilly" on either side of the road, has been turned into a visually stunning, palm tree laden pedestrian walkway with panoramic views of Zihuatanejo Bay complete with concrete benches to sit on and enjoy all Zihuatanejo has to offer. And, trash receptacles. And, it's a no car zone too! And, I love the lovely statue (Neptune?) that embraces the end of the walkway.

Now, I'm aware that a lot of locals and mom and pop businesses have been displaced by this new walkway. (A lot of families used to picnic at the beach under the trees behind La Gaviotta). But, like the the upgraded walkway from Playa Principal ending at Playa LaMadera, I think eventually that this new walkway at the end of Playa La Ropa will be viewed with pride as another "win" for beautiful Zihuatanejo! (Wanted to post a few pictures, but couldn't figure out how to do so on this site.)
