Emerson professor, students, community leaders collaborate to rebuild Rosarito. Rosarito, Mexico was once a bustling tourist destination in the Baja Peninsula, less than 30 miles south of San Diego. But within the last three years, the extreme violence between the Drug Cartels and the Mexican Government combined with negative media attention have driven tourists away, depleting the community's economy.

Mayor Hugo Torres: A Committed Vision for Rosarito Beach and Baja. In the 1980s's Hugo Torres led the tough 12-year campaign to make Rosario its own city, independent from Tijuana. When voters made that a reality in 1995, he was appointed the city's first mayor. When Torres' term ended in 1998, he thought his time in office was over. The long-time owner of the landmark Rosarito Beach Hotel and father of five figured he'd devote more time to business interests and family. June, 2010
Beach Hotel History The town of Rosarito sprouted up around the famed Rosarito Beach Hotel, a movie star hangout since it opened its massive carved doors in 1926, through which, as the sign above the entrance boasts, passed "the most beautiful women in the world." Take in the history by wandering around the hotel, viewing the Mexican art and old photographs, and make a stop in the Beachcomber Bar for a Cocoloco (a pina colada inside a fresh coconut) before strolling out on the long pier to get a closer view of the seals basking in the sun on Seal Rock. Spend the rest of the day cruising the scores of shops and kiosks that line the downtown boulevard, or head down the beach for an hour of horseback riding and a dip in the ocean.
