(I just added some pictures to posts going back to “Ballendra Bay”)
We have spent the last couple days walking through Mazatlan. Mostly Old Town as it’s the more picturesque. And I do mean “walk”. Yesterday I think we went about 8 miles as well as hiked to the top of the 500+ cliff where the light house and views of the city can be seen. So here’s some of what we’ve been seeing:
Mazatlan's version of the Malecon (about a two mile walk down the newer part of town on the beach)
There are numerous little shacks on the beach where you can stop for a beer and some ceviche or a meal (See the mountain in the background? That's where the lighthouse we hiked to is).
I love to sit and people-watch in the many town squares sprinkled around town.
Lunch at 'Te Amo Lucy' Delicious traditional dishes. Ann had chicken mole, I had pozole marisco
And of course, we never miss the Mercado
The architecture varies quite a bit from elegant to, well, junky...
Who designs this stuff?
This is more like it
This is what happens when you miss the small harbor entrance (you might have to click the photo and make it bigger to see) View is from the climb up to the lighthouse
View of the city to the North
View East (including the Cathedral to the left which marks the halfway mark in this day's walk)
