The famous “pulmonías” –open tourist taxis– that normally circulate along the Malecón with Banda songs and reggaeton at full volume, on Thursday replaced the music with radio stations with news, to follow up on what happened in the state .
At the edge of noon, while Culiacán was already the eye of the hurricane in terms of drug blockades, the golden zone of Mazatlán already looked with 90% of the premises closed and a considerable drop in tourist activity, some hotels decided to create a security filter , for access to its facilities.
Victims of the cancellation of flights, some tourists walked with suitcases in Zona Dorada, who tried to contact their airline to find out when they could leave Sinaloa.
Due to the contingency, some activities raised their costs, this is the case of hotel rooms or services such as AirBnB. A trip in DiDi or Uber, which normally costs between 40 and 60 pesos, rose to 130 pesos and the waiting times were more than 15 minutes since there were very few units circulating.
The nightlife, famous for having activities all the time, came to a complete stop in Mazatlán, evening fell and in the absence of bars or clubs, some people decided to move to the boardwalk to drink beer, listen to music and enjoy the beach.
Meanwhile, shopping centers and self-service stores closed their doors, the streets in the different neighborhoods looked completely empty, as if a curfew had been decreed.
