Desalination plant "Mission"

Mexico's Mission Trail stretches the entire length of the Baja peninsula. There are four Missions located in the La Paz area, the largest in the City of La Paz, just a few blocks from the Malecon. In that tradition, Maravia Country Club Estates is honoring these historic structures with the construction of the 1,000,000 gallon per day desalination plant.

The exterior of the plant building is in the process of being "aged" with hand-applied stucco mix and straw. In addition, "exposed" bricks are being crafted into the outside walls to reinforce the historic charm. Going inside, one will see a totally modern facility with steel girders now in place and ready for installation of the roof.

The "Mission" is quite visible from the Sea of Cortez. Look closely and you can see ond of the ocean-going Baja ferries framed by some of the many cactus trees surrounding the building.
