road to las gatas.
Last year when they put the sewer or water line to las gatas, i mentioned that there was now a road on the back side of las gatas. I think i was told at the time that it was going to be just a cut and cover. Anyways to clear it up, they are ashpalting the road today.

I guess they kept it a secret so none of the water taxi co-ops or the ecologistas or really anyone that loves and cares about Zihuatanejo would hear about it, because it sure wasn't a part of any plan that I or my friends were aware of. This is the first I heard that they paved anything. This is a real game changer and it could be the end of Zihuatanejo as we know it. If the folks at Las Gatas wanted to live someplace with a road to it THEY SHOULD'VE SOLD AND MOVED AWAY FROM LAS GATAS. Instead it looks like greed wins and another piece of paradise will be ruined forever. Imagine hordes of bus-trippers pulling up at that tiny beach. As it is most of the coral and mangroves are dying and it's near impossible to find any real sea life like there used to be even 10 years ago.
Thanks for the heads up!

I remember having a conversation with Owen Lee a few years ago. He told me the reason why he figured the road to Las Gatas would never be built. He said the original developers approached Hector Rebaque who owns the piece of land right at the end where Owen's resort used to be. He said the Hector would let them build a road, but he would not let them have access to the beach! The developers replied that they would never build it without access! It looks to me like the new developers are pushing the road past Hector's place and accessing the beach farther down.

Ugg! This thread saddens me.

If you'll recall, I posted about this a couple of years ago, about what looks like LadyM's favorite place selling out to allow beach access for the developers. The owner still gives me the stink eye for outing him.
so sad

It is hard to believe they will actually bring buses there. But then, many things are hard to believe. If Las Gatas becomes flooded with bus trippers, the sewage system (such as it is) will surely be overwhelmed, with predictable results to the water quality. Which already seems so much worse than it was 10 or even 5 years ago. Sounds like the magic of Las Gatas is about to become only a memory.

Very sad news,however don`t think for a minute that the steady stream of smoke belching outboard motor driven taxis are good for the environment either.
