Malecon in Puerta Plata ?

Charlielyn-
I don't know exactly, but when I was there in Nov, and Feb 06, I noticed alot of people in their track suits, walking it, in groups of three or four. Always around 5pm or so, and they would be walking up and down. I guess it is their little treadmill.

I have never actually seen Dominican people working out or excerising. This was the first time that I saw any sort of physical activity.

I have seen gyms down there, but never saw people in them working out. I chalked it up to being in the tropics and it being to hot to work out, but these last couple of trips, I've seen more physical activity on the malecon than ever before.

It takes less than 1 hr to walk Malecon, it is just a few km.

Most acitivity is actually early morning.
The gymns are more active after sunset.

Now after the remodelling, it is around 5 km.

How did they do that?

Please explain how painting the concrete fence, adding marked turn lanes and making the ocean side a no parking zone increased its length?

Buzzard, they said in the mayors office when they presented this that the Malecon wil be appr. 600 meters shorter, as the street is wider and straight on more places, some curves are gone.

It is not increased Buzzard, it is less now than before.
