old mazatlan innIf you are looking for a great place stay in historic Mazatlan there is no better alternative.
Old Mazatlan Inn is located centrally in Mazatlan, close enough to the beach and yet close enough to the Old Mazatlan and away from the Golden Zone (Zona Dorada). This place is a special treat to enjoy.

“Located within the historic center of Mazatlán, the Old Mazatlán Inn has been completely renovated for the 2007-2008 season. It sits 1.5 blocks from the famous “Olas Atlas” Beach where the first tourists hit the “big waves” to sport fish and surf. Our guests are four blocks from the Plaza Machado which is lined with incredible restaurants that host nightly live music and are adjacent to a variety of small shops and juice bars. Old Mazatlan Inn is also only a few blocks from the Angela Peralta Theater and easy access to some local Museums and Galleries.”

Mazatlan Economic Growth Cycles

by David Krug on January 30, 2010

Mazatlan Sunset
Which country has improved its position in global manufacturing and design equipment to aircraft parts? Mexico. Surprised? The fall in the peso against the dollar since August has made Mexico a better deal for business and tourism than ever before.

It is true that foreign investment fell 46% in 2008 to 18.6 billion U.S. dollars. The economy contracted 9.5% in January. The country expects to lose up to half a million jobs in the first half of this year.

The issue is related to loss of market economic mismanagement and the global recession as a whole? Manufacturing is down in China and India, everywhere. Even when the border cities of Mexico had problems with drug trafficking and violence, business investment continued to grow until the global financial crisis.

In the past Mexico has had problems of competition for business development due to lack of standards to be met for international competitiveness. Things have changed. Mexico has increased its ability to compete after studying the successful models in Europe, Asia and the U.S.. Local governments have cooperated with universities and private industry to improve its research and development, customer service, and train its workforce. For example, Mexican exports of aerospace products have nearly tripled to three billion U.S. since then.

Mazatlan is a huge hub of education, engineering, and manufacturing and will continue to lead the way. This makes it a great place for expats to settle down and do some occasional consulting to help keep Mexico on the right path as far as economic development goes.

Canucks is in the Old Town, near the diving platform, and the giant flag. Located at the base of a boulder and looking at the ocean with a spectacular view of the sunset. Seafood has a full vegetarian menu, and Phil, the owner, has a serious sound system and he knows how to use it.

It is a great place to come when the music is live. You can sit there enjoy the ambiance, and the great food. It is also home to many special events throughout the year. Its address is Paseo Claussen # 259, Center. They are open every day except Wednesday from lunchtime until midnight.
