The malecón is the wide 17-km long footpath along the beach, and starts south of Playa Olas Altas and goes north along Playa Norte to Valentinos. People use it to get somewhere, hang out, exercise, walk their dog, skateboard, rollerblade, etc.
There are 2 lanes of traffic on each side, broken by parking in the middle. Steve loved driving along there, and we would usually go that way and take the appropriate turn-off to get where we wanted to go.
View of malecón and Icebox Hill, driving south. Note the pulmonia (little golf-cart taxi) in front, and the concrete benches and light posts. This was an unusual cloudy, windy day.
View of malecón during Semana Santa. Note the college kids hanging out, and the benches, light posts and planters which were painted within a few days (all 11 miles of them!)
A flight of pelicans gliding over the malecón. This was quite a common sight.
We particularly liked seeing them in V formations, like Canada geese!
