El Cid Resorts Highlights the 'Pulmonia'

MAZATLAN, Mexico, Feb. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- El Cid Resorts guests who stay at any of the El Cid locations in Mazatlán don't have to worry about local transportation thanks to the city's legendary pulmonia system. Whether visiting El Cid's Castilla Beach, Moro Beach, Marina Beach, or Granada Country Club properties, guests can use the pulmonia network to get from point A to point B anywhere in town. Seeing all of the sites and getting to know Mazatlán is as simple as catching the next cab that comes by.

The efficient, over-sized golf-cart like taxis are zippy and efficient; and their drivers offer friendly conversation, good music and a quick way to see all the sights. When the now-preferred mode of transport for tourists came of age in the 1960s, local taxi drivers came up with the nick-name "pulmonia" as a clever way to describe the open-air rides.

The idea caught on and nowadays the quick-moving little taxis are the number one way for travelers, and El Cid Resorts guests, to get around. Unlike a formal taxicab, a fare is negotiated before the trip. Plus, there's plenty of festive music on board, and the drivers love chatting with passengers about their plans and impressions of Mazatlán. El Cid Resorts members use the pulmonia to hit all the fun spots in town, day and night.

What the Metro is to Paris and the cable cars are to San Francisco, the pulmonia is to festive Mazatlán, with no tourist area left out. Whether travelers want to see the local bars, beaches, hotels, museums or anything else, the pulmonia is ready and waiting to take them there and then back to their El Cid Resorts accommodation at Castilla, Moro, or Marina Beach, as well as to Granada Country Club.

Tourists appreciate the fact that the pulmonia drivers know the city's beaches and resort areas by memory. If there's a particular restaurant or bar that a traveler wants to know about, the driver will have the information necessary to help make a decision about where to go and what to do. The key thing to remember about the pulmonia experience, according to El Cid Resorts, is that it's like having a taxi and tour guide all in one. For more than 50 years, the drivers of the little golf-cart like taxis have carved out a niche as being super-helpful to tourists and travelers from all over the world.

El Cid Resorts recommends that everyone who visits Mazatlán should try out the pulmonia at least once. While staying at Marina Beach, Castilla Beach, Moro Beach or Granada Country Club properties, El Cid Resorts guests love using the pulmonia to get around while in Mazatlán.
