Not many have heard about the town of San Felipe, Mexico. This is a town of about 26,000 located on the Baja Peninsula along the Sea of Cortez.
The government of Mexico designated San Felipe as a tourist development zone and as a result has committed millions to developing San Felipe. The obvious start of this development commitment has been doubling the lanes between San Felipe and Mexicali. Up until fairly recently, the approximately 185KM between San Felipe and Mexicali was mostly one lane in each direction with a number of sharp turns. This has seen tremendous improvements with most of the lanes being doubled and sharp turns smoothed out.
The Malecon, the downtown boardwalk with restaurants and shops is also experiencing a major make over. New palm trees have been planted and lots of beautification work is in progress.
