La Paz (or the information traps)

Due to my findings in Los Cabos, I decided to get a bit of information before jumping into the unknown in my trip to La Paz. Paradoxically, I was surprised in a good way because there is a clean environment in this city that drives you to go out for a walk. After a while, the smell of food watered my mouth and the weather cheered my spirit. I had a break.  

To keep us updated there is the “Gringo Gazzet”, promoting La Paz as a resting, yet fun, spot. For those who prefer the other version of the news, there is “El Sudcaliforniano”, where I read there is an issue of allocation and sale of lands and beaches with the former government.

Although it is not so outstanding as in other Mexican beaches, here, population growth –mainly due to the migrants who move here for work- is also causing an overexploitation of aquifers. As I couldn’t see anything at bare sight, I got myself in the Jacuzzi to please my muscles with a water massage.

But, the day after… TRAGEDYYYYYYYYYYY. Costa Baja, hotel and marina, “protecting the environment”, transplanted a reef which cannot be seen because it was wrongly transplanted, and now it almost disappeared. Just at a side, a private beach. Pff! A few meters from there, a huge billboard where the HOMEX Company proudly announces the construction of houses where use to be a mangrove (but, of course, they don’t tell you that). GrrrGGRrRR. Disapointed, I went back to the jacuzzi.
