Commitment to Paradise: Milena Quiroga Reports Intensified Beach Cleaning in La Paz During 2026 Easter Week

Ensuring that our capital's natural beauties remain impeccable after the passage of thousands of visitors is an absolute priority. This April 2026, the Mayor of La Paz, Milena Quiroga Romero, highlighted that during the Easter Week holiday period, cleaning and waste collection brigades have been intensified at the municipality's busiest beaches. From El Tecolote to Balandra and El Saltito, the Municipal Public Services team has deployed special operations to ensure minimal environmental impact while promoting a culture of responsibility among beachgoers.

The logistics implemented in 2026 include an increase in the frequency of garbage trucks and the installation of strategic temporary containers. Quiroga Romero emphasized that while the city council is making an extraordinary effort, citizen participation is the "missing link" to achieving truly clean beaches. A strong call has been made to visitors to take their trash with them or place it in the appropriate bins, preventing plastics and organic waste from ending up in the Sea of Cortez, which would harm the marine life that makes our region unique.

We recognize the importance of these maintenance operations. A clean beach is not just an aesthetic issue but a fundamental pillar for public health and the sustainability of tourism in Baja California Sur. The challenge posed by the Mayor for 2026 is clear: enjoy our paradise without leaving a trace. At the end of the holiday season, the success of this cleaning program will be the best indicator of our society's maturity and our municipal authorities' efficiency in protecting our natural heritage.
