Options for renovation of dock and kitchen
Maquetas para renovar muelle y cocinaVer mas
Now that SEMARNAT has ruled and the Isla Blanca cooperative have recovered their entire area in the Federal Zone, there are plans to renovate the dock and the area of the kitchen to rent (para arrendar). It would cost an estimated 10 million pesos to renovate the pier, including a palapa to rent and to incorporate this into part of the construction 'en tierra' (on land) in order to function as a restaurant.
