Before you leave the market area, pause at the Plaza Marina , a two-story shopping plaza in front of the Fish Market. Despite the drab surroundings, we urge you to go a little farther to the Riviera del Pacifico , a handsome white structure built in the 1930s as a gambling palace. The building is the only architectural site in the city worth making a special effort to visit, and it is beautiful. Built by Mexican and U.S. investors, the complex still evokes the Prohibition era, when Hollywood stars flocked to the gambling dens of Baja. Today, the white stucco building topped with red tile is the city s civic and cultural center, housing meeting rooms, a small museum and a library.
