The Malecon is improved with less traffic flow. Be prepared for all sorts of tricks from these sharks...they need to get your attention. Otherwise, the walk is pleasant. More

This was my first trip since the Malecon reopened. What a pleasant experience. It is still the best place to be on a Saturday or Sunday night. I enjoyed the entertainment, family watching and food along the Malecon. There are plenty of watering placing to get a margarita along the way. And no more pollution or cars to look out... More

There are so many people, sculptures, shops, colors, sounds, smells, and sunsets to look at while walking. The evenings are the best because the artists are out. More
