Some of these systems continued moving northward after landfall and, eventually, had an influence on the weather conditions in the southwestern United States. The records for the eastern Pacific basin, provided by the National Hurricane Center, reveal 614 tropical cyclones during 1970–2007.

I hope that you find it useful in your search of a property here in Paradise. Our mantra here at Ricardo Amigo Real Estate is: “WE GET WHY YOU’RE HERE!” I write this in our ads, attach it to our handouts, and repeat it at staff meetings because I want you, as a buyer, to know that my team and I have all been through this experience, and the common thread be- tween all of us is that we wanted a different way of life than what we knew. The inspiration to make the change to live here full- or part-time, or to just invest in the Todos Santos area to have something for the future, comes from that peaceful and tranquil feeling that envelops you when you are here... I felt it immediately on my first visit, and two months later, I came back to stay. It has now been almost 18 years and I can gratefully say that this feeling prevails as a part of my daily life.

  • Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime Sector in Mexico
    Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency Report by Marko Teodosijević - Embassy of the Netherlands in Mexico Opportunities for Port Development and Maritime sector in Mexico Investment opportunities in the Port Development Sector Early 2019 Preface In this report current and future business opportunities in the Mexican port development sector are identified. This report is the product of a detailed examination of Mexico’s plans for the development of its ports and maritime sector. The aim of the report is to map business opportunities for Dutch companies that operate in this sector and want to collaborate in Mexico’s sustainable port development programs. It is the objective of the Dutch Embassy to promote a mutually beneficial collaboration between Mexico and The Netherlands in the context of Mexico’s ambitious drive forward in the development of its port and marine sector. Complementary to the available information published by the different governmental institutions, this report includes insights of several stakeholders from the Mexican government and local port authorities. Altogether, the information provided in this report is the product of information gathered from Mexican public institutions combined with information provided by key companies that possess expert knowledge regarding sustainable port development. Firstly, a schematic overview of the institutional port framework will be laid out in order to have a basic understanding of the institutions that have the authority over ports in Mexico and how they are regulated. The agencies in charge of ports will be the primary line of contact for companies who are interested in the development opportunities that will most likely crop up in 2019 and beyond.
