Rosarito Beautification Effort Underway With Popotla Boulevard Projects & Others
ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---A section of the city best known for housing the creation of beautiful things is the first to benefit from a new volunteer city beautification effort.
Sculptures including Neptune and others created by local artists have been installed along Popotla Boulevard, south of the main downtown, over the past several years.
Popotla is a section of Rosarito known for handmade furniture, metal sculpting, tile and glass work, art galleries and much more. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rosarito.
Now the effort, organized by Juan Bosco president of AFAMARO, the Rosarito artisans’ association, is expanding to include Benito Juarez, which is the name of Popotla as it runs though the center and north of Rosarito.
A non-profit group is being formed to lead the project. It will consist of four subcommittees, one each for Rosarito north, Rosarito downtown, Popotla Boulevard and the Puerto Nuevo area.
Along the boulevard three murals will be painted, several fountains, old doors, sculptures and more will be installed, as well as plants, pots, banners and more.
Donations including materials are being sought to assist in the project. Anyone wanting to help can contact Laura Wong at bajatimes@prodigy.net.mx, Citlalitl Pereda at citla_bonita@hotmail.com, or Bosco at juanbosco@afamaro.com
