Restaurant owners on the Malecón who lost their palapa roofs to high waves and wind from Hurricanes Norbert and Odile are counting on the Pacific hurricane season being over as they begin work to rebuild their restaurants on the beach.
On September 5, the remnants of Hurricane Norbert destroyed six of the 17 palapas on the beaches in front of the Malecón and subsequent high waves from Odile inundated the restaurant areas with mounds of sand which employees are hard at work removing.
The restoration of the palapa restaurants will cost between 50,000 and 100,000 pesos.
