Beaches where camping would be allowed would be those in the less densely populated area of northern Mazatlán.


Mazatlán Mayor Carlos Felton announced yesterday that during Semana Santa if it is necessary the municipality will allow sleeping on the beach for those who cannot find hotel rooms due to the high demand.

Mayor Felton told reporters at a press conference on Monday the municipality must take action so that no one decides not to come to Mazatlán, adding the municipality could supply drinking water and portable bathrooms (for those camping on the beach).

Still on the topic of Semana Santa the director of Cultura, Raúl Rico González, announced for the second consecutive year Cultura is preparing the Bandódromo for April 2, 3 and 4 in Olas Altas.

The idea behind the music spectacular, costing approximately one million pesos, is to avoid the concentration of Semana Santa vacationists in the Zona Dorada where historically the numbers have caused traffic congestion and road closures.

The director commented he hoped the Bandódromo would work as well as it did last year when it attracted around 70,000 people into Olas Altas to enjoy the music.
