For those that don't know, Malecon means boardwalk in Spanish. And this Malecon sits along the coast of the fine city of Mazatlan.
I came to Mazatlan with an old friend of mine, once upon a time. It was her friend's birthday, and she insisted that I come here with her. So me being the adventurous one, happily came along.
The boardwalk runs from the Zona Dorada (the nightclub/party region of Mazatlan) on the northern end, all the way to where Casa Lucila sits on the southern end.
All along the boardwalk, locals and tourist come to enjoy the coast. There are plenty of shops and eateries lining this place. The weekend get a lot of foot traffic, but it is still manageable.
The climate is humid, which caught me by surprise. Despite it being Mexico's Pacific coast, it is far south enough to have tropical weather. I was sweating quite a bit walking along this boardwalk, and the humidity didn't help much. This is the only negative to this place. However, it didn't take away from the great adventure I had in Sinaloa that time.
The boardwalk, much like the city of Mazatlan, is safe. Of course, this is true as long as you don't go looking for trouble. I've had great times in this place, and I will have many more, as my girlfriend and I plan to come here in the near future.
