La Noria backwater and boats, 1972
The footbridge just before it was replaced by the new, concrete version in the spring of 1999.

Anyone who visited Zihuatanejo prior to 1999 will have seen the old footbridge that forever gave direct access to the people of the La Noria and Puerto Mio to the downtown area, who otherwise would have had to walk around the whole stretch of backwater.
Built of wooden planks on crude stilt poles sunk into the entrance to the backwater that is said to one day be converted into a Marina, the footbridge, back in the 60's and 70's, was always surrounded by fishermen pulling in their catches and repairing their nets.
In the spring of 1999, this wonderful bridge was replaced with a modern concrete overpass allowing small boats to pass underneath.
