Strolling in Mexico was once a fine art form, and while going out for a Sunday or evening paseo is still a custom in many parts of the country (although today, sometimes we feel compelled to disguise a harmless cheap form of entertainment as something utilitarian like  exercise), Mexico City has become, more and more, a pedestrian-unfriendly place.

 

Pedestrians have been fighting a losing battle against automobiles, but… the low carbon footprint of… just footprints… is making a comeback in the city, thanks in part to superheroic effort by… Mexico City’s newest super-hero, El Peatónito:

    Mazatlan is a wonderful tourist destination, but its´ not pedestrian friendly.
    The Malecon is the saving grace.
