Tras completar las labores de revitalización y con una inversión de $5.
6 millones, la gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced inauguró hoy el Malecón de Santa Isabel junto al alcalde del municipio costero, Enrique Questell, y al director ejecutivo de la Autoridad para el Financiamiento de la Infraestructura (AFI), Eduardo Rivera Cruz.
“Esta obra es una de gran importancia para esta comunidad, no solo por revitalizar un área para el disfrute de las familias santaisabelinas y sus visitantes, sino por la protección que brinda a los residentes de este litoral costero, proveyendo un sistema para la mitigación del impacto directo del oleaje resguardando esta comunidad de las inclemencias del tiempo y del mar,” manifestó la gobernadora.
Tras completar las labores de revitalización y con una inversión de $5.6 millones, la gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced inauguró hoy el Malecón de Santa Isabel junto al alcalde del municipio costero, Enrique Questell, y al director ejecutivo de la Autoridad para el Financiamiento de la Infraestructura (AFI), Eduardo Rivera Cruz.
El proyecto, que consiste en la revitalización del frente marítimo existente, fue desarrollado en fases y abarca aproximadamente 1,200 pies lineales del frente marítimo y la superficie del muelle existente.
A lo largo de su desarrollo el proyecto generó 35 empleos.
“La instalación de un sistema para mitigación del impacto directo del oleaje mediante un ‘Sea Wall’ de 2.900 metros cúbicos (CM) de rocas a lo largo de 1,180 pies de largo por 13.12 pies de ancho clasificó a este proyecto como uno de los proyectos críticos a realizarse para robustecer áreas vulnerables del sur de la isla,” aseguró por su parte Rivera Cruz.
Mientras, el alcalde de Santa Isabel manifestó: “El que podamos inaugurar estos proyectos es motivo de mucha alegría para todos los santaisabelinos. Le prometí a mi pueblo hacer de Santa Isabel una gran ciudad y poco a poco, con mucho esfuerzo, lo hemos ido logrando. Agradezco el apoyo de la gobernadora y el esfuerzo de los arquitectos, ingenieros y todos los trabajadores que fueron parte de estos proyectos. Reafirmo una vez más que Santa Isabel Renace. Mi compromiso siempre será con mejorar la calidad de vida de todos los residentes y presentar a los visitantes nuestros mejores atributos.
Somos la Capital de la Agricultura, Tierra de Campeones, hemos sido resilientes y ahora tenemos el Malecón más lindo de Puerto Rico”.

Malecón – GoDominicanRepublic.com
Puerto Plata residents proudly consider their seaside boulevard to be the most beautiful in the entire Dominican Republic, and you’ll understand why once you see the numerous white sand beaches along the city’s main street – each with its own name. Here you can spend the whole day on the beach without leaving the city, and the long, shady sidewalks are great for a morning walk (the sunrises here are incredible!) and an evening promenade with gatherings in bars and restaurants located along the Malecon. A separate path is allocated for cycling. Here you can soak in the breeze, sip a cocktail at a cafe overlooking the sunset, play sports or take a stroll around the Malecon, from the city to Long Beach. The boulevard hosts numerous events throughout the year, including the Puerto Plata Carnival.

Forts of Cadiz – ¡AUR, AUR, DESPERTA FERRO! — LiveJournal
Authors 18-19c. describe Cadiz as a beautifully fortified city (and most of the fortifications are well preserved). But he did not become so immediately.
Map of the bay of Cadiz, 1820, showing the forts covering the bay. As you can see, the city was located on the edge of the peninsula (now it occupies the entire isthmus). Isthmus, on average 1 km. wide, then turns into a narrow arrow connecting it with the large island of Leon, separated from the mainland by the Sancti Petri channel.
This location gives the city a lot of advantages – if used wisely. By the time of Drake’s visit in 1587. the city was practically defenseless, except for the small fort of San Felipe on the north coast and the medieval walls. Why they decided to save money on the defense of such a strategically important port, I never understood. Galleons were equipped in Cadiz, from here they left for military operations, went to the New World and returned with cargo – and almost no protection. While in the 16th century. the city was attacked 4 times by Berbers and Turks. Surprisingly, even after the “singed beard of the Spanish king” no serious measures were taken. And in charge of the defense was the same human Duke of Medina Sidonia, whose track record included impotence before the Drake raid and disaster as commander of the Armada. Whether he was guilty is another question, but his list was not yet complete. The devastating raid of Essex in 1596y. called into question the very existence of the city, the option of its transfer deep into the mainland was considered.
A living illustration of the thesis about feeding one’s own and other people’s army.
Fortunately, instead, the government finally decided to allocate funds for defense, and the construction of a fortification system began under the direction of engineer C. Rojas. Tellingly, he proposed his project several years before the Essex raid. All subsequent attacks on Cadiz 17-18c. (the British during this period attacked the city 5 times) were repelled.
By the beginning of the 19th century. Cadiz, approaches to it and the bay had several lines of defense. Napoleonic troops could not crack this nut in 2.5 years. Although now we know that the city was saved by Captain Sharpe!
The old part of Cadiz showing the fortifications. As can be seen from the diagram, the city is surrounded by a ring of walls with bastions. I have a lot of photos of them, but most of them are not so interesting, the usual coastal bastions (baluartes).
Part for barbette guns. For example, in the middle is the bastion of San Carlos (in the diagram # 4).
View from the San Felipe Battery (#3).
Although the dimensions are impressive. View of one horn of the San Carlos bastion from the other horn, close to the point of their junction (it is arrow-shaped). Or rather, the view of what fit into the frame, even one side cannot be completely removed.
Part of the casemate-type bastions: Candelaria bastion (#5) in the 2nd plan. There is an art gallery inside. They spoiled the whole casemate situation with their renovation.
But the forts are amusing. There are 2 of them, both are located on the west side.
The first, San Sebastian (#1), is located about a kilometer from the coast, with which it is connected by a narrow arrow (malecon).
Low tide. The arrow to San Sebastian follows a broken line. Probably so that the fort and ground batteries could shoot through the arrow without the risk of hitting each other.
Initially there were 2 islands. In 1613 a small artillery bastion with a lighthouse was built on a smaller island.
At the beginning of the 18th century it was replaced by the bastion-type Fort San Sebastian (red in the picture). Later, in the 1860s, a large casemate fort Santa Isabel (yellow) was added to it. In general, the usual scheme of a coastal fort (a rounded casemate part from the sea side and bastions from the land side) acquired an original look here. Due to the need to follow the contours of the islands, these 2 parts are separated and have an irregular shape. Then (in the middle of 19c) the arrow connected the fort with land.
The Malecon starts on the shore, where it is kept under fire by 2 ground bastions (view from one of them). Together with the curtain, they make up the baluarte del Orejon, i.e. “Eared Bastion” (#10). By the way, one of the scenes of “Alatriste” was filmed at this place.
Before the construction of the malecon, access to the fort was only by water. View of the coast from the walls of Santa Isabel: on the left you can see the remains of the mooring path, along which there was a message with the fort.
At low tide, a large area around the fort is exposed, it is possible to walk around it. But this is not an easy task – sharp stones corroded by the sea, covered with slippery moss and flooded with water, are not the best platform for attackers.
The idea of climbing to the very edge of the island, when the tide had already begun, was not the best. Back I had to get knee-deep in water under the encouraging cries of the police. But from here you can see the advantages of the irregular shape of the fortress. This point is under the control of both all parts of the casemate fort and the far bastion fort.
Quite decent casemates inside, not like in Candelaria.
In addition to the current lighthouse, the lower part of the old one stands in Santa Isabel. The lighthouse has stood here since the 17th century. But in 1898, with the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, the authorities began to worry about whether the Americans would want to play Drake.
Therefore, just in case, we decided to cut down the top part of the lighthouse to remove the guideline for artillery gunners. It was too much, of course, but Cadiz was attacked so many times that you can understand them.
In the foreground, a slope leading to the roof of Santa Isabel, where large calibers were placed. Unfortunately, only round seats remained from them, there is not a single gun in the fort. The tide has not yet ended (it’s about one in the afternoon), and the approaches are already almost all under water.
But even at high tide, some areas remain dry (grass is visible). Therefore, channels are drawn along the walls.
San Sebastian is in direct line of sight from Fort Santa Catalina (in the background), the distance allows mutual support.
Therefore, we smoothly move to Fort Santa Catalina (on the diagram # 2). In theory, we should start with it – this is the oldest fort in the city, the first work of Rojas. It was started in 1598, with the express purpose of preventing a repeat of the Essex Raid.
Rojas considered this part of the coast (La Caleta) the most vulnerable to landing, in the event of an attack not on the bay, but on the city itself. Therefore, the work went quite quickly (by local standards). The fort was completed in 1621, 4 years before Cecil’s raid (I think the only serious completed fortification at that time). Initially, the project was more ambitious: Rojas wanted to surround the fort with a wall, turning it into an urban citadel. But it’s not bad either.
The walls of Santa Catalina are also easily accessible by land at low tide.
A typical “star”, 5 bastions (or rather, 4 demi-bastions and one triangular), on the landward side there is a moat with water through which the bridge goes. On the flanks adjoin the walls of the perimeter of Cadiz. The black dots at the ends of the rays are watchtowers.
Land side bastions. The moat is dry, earlier water came there from the sea through underground pipes, now blocked.
Obtuse-angled orillon of the gate bastion with shooting loopholes at the top.
