Hey everyone, I'm Hector Vazquez del Mercado Martinez. Marketing pro by trade but a tourism and hospitality enthusiast at heart! I also have a knack for public relations. I've called Puerto Peñasco home since 2006, and it's been an incredible ride.
For over a decade, I had the honor of serving as the honorary president of the Convention and Visitors Bureau here. Plus, I've been steering the ship as Director of Las Palomas Seaside Golf Community, Sonora's largest tourism project, for over 12 years. We've got over 450 luxury condos in hotel operation, our fantastic The Links golf course, and two more condo towers with over 100 luxury units, not to mention a residential development Blue at Las Palomas of 134 homes right on the golf course.
On the business front, I used to head up the Young Entrepreneurs of COPARMEX Sonora Norte and have been an advisor for several amazing charities.
When I'm not working, I'm fishing, catching a baseball game, hitting the links, diving into a good book, or trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
I am more than happy to share what I have learned over the years and hope that Rocky Point Insight becomes your "go-to" website for all information about Puerto Peñasco. In addition to general information, I want to also share with you investment opportunities, future projects, activities, events and initiatives that help this destination continue to grow in a sustainable and orderly way.
