With just a few days to go before Baja California hosts its first-ever Tianguis Turístico in Rosarito, the city’s Public Works Department is intensifying efforts to clean up and eliminate graffiti across major thoroughfares

In parallel with beautification efforts along Bulevar Popotla, crews have focused on Bulevar Benito Juárez, where workers are painting over walls covered in graffiti and unauthorized advertisements. Among the recently rehabilitated areas is the perimeter of Plaza San Fernando, which had been plastered with a wide array of posters and fliers.

City employees have also been clearing weeds from the central median and sidewalks, while the Public Lighting Department finally repaired broken streetlights along this key stretch of road—improving visibility and safety for pedestrians and motorists alike.

Adding to the beautification efforts, groups of young art students and muralists from nearby Tijuana have joined in. Earlier this week, they began painting cultural and symbolic designs on pedestrian crosswalks near Secondary School No. 32.

These artists aim to enhance the visual appeal of Rosarito’s main tourist corridor ahead of the high-profile tourism fair.

While street cleaning and lighting repairs continue to progress, the replanting of palm trees that were previously removed from the median remains pending. So far, no new plantings have begun.

Sources suggest that city officials are still debating whether to replant the existing palm trees or opt for decorative trees currently awaiting delivery. Meanwhile, time is running short before the opening of the Tianguis Turístico.
