As part of its work with the community and the city-port relationship, Puerto San Antonio held a workshop with the tenants of Paseo Bellamar, aimed at defining actions to improve the operation of the space and enhance its attractiveness for the inhabitants of San Antonio and those who visit the city.
During the meeting, matters directly related to the operation of the promenade were addressed, including security and the program of activities for the last four months of 2026.
Along with these management measures, the project for enhancing the value, identity, and projection of Paseo Bellamar was presented, which considers an urban and aesthetic intervention of its eight structures, the strengthening of the activity of the 48 artisans, and a participatory design process developed together with the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (PUCV).
This initiative seeks to recover and project the port and maritime identity of the place, improve the experience of those who visit the promenade, and generate better conditions for the development of artisanal, commercial, and tourist activities.
The plan includes giving continuity to activities open to the community and strengthening coordination in security matters, including the participation of Puerto San Antonio in the Public Security Council Board.
In this way, Puerto San Antonio and the tenants seek to move from the current needs of Paseo Bellamar towards a common improvement project, combining order, security, commercial activity, local identity, and a greater link with the community and tourism.
The deputy manager of Community Relations at Puerto San Antonio, Victoriano Gómez, stated that "we want Paseo Bellamar to function better and also to be an increasingly attractive place for San Antonio residents and for those who visit our city. For this, we are working on very concrete issues: commercial regularization, security, recovery of premises, activities, and a project to renew the image of the promenade, built together with its own tenants."
For Esteban Contreras, president of the Cultural and Social Coordinator of Artisans of Paseo Bellamar, it was a valuable instance "since we have been making progress on some very important points for the tenants of Paseo Bellamar, not only for the groups, but for all tenants. There is also a program of activities that have been carried out and others that are coming, to be able to promote and rescue it as an entity of culture, crafts, and tourism."
"The activities that are being developed serve to attract the public and encourage them to visit our stalls. The important thing is to give life to Paseo Bellamar and to value what it means for San Antonio," highlighted Clara Núñez, who works as an artisan.
