Thanks Jerry- I often come to PP from Nogales, so I have had to deal with this stretch being torn up and it is indeed awful. The trip from Nogales is essentially 4 segments of about an hour each: Nogales-SantaAna, SantaAna-Caborca, Caborca-YGriega, YGriega-Penasco. The last time I passed through...

I live on the border in Nogales and am very familiar with currency exchange. One definite tip: for large quantities of pesos NEVER, EVER change the pesos to dollars on the US side- you will never get the same rate, and it is often MUCH worse on the US side. You should always change at a bank or...

Hi Diego- just my 2 cents: I closed in Dec 2012 on a 2bdr/2bth at the Sonoran Sea. My agent was Dan Monroe aka 'Rocky Point Dan'- you can Google him and find his website. Even for those not interested in buying I would recommend his e-mail newsletter since it contains various news and notes...

You're right, the carne asada in particular was spectacular. I like both salsas, it was just that I really couldn't really compare them as much as I wanted to since the portions were small and I was rationing them out between me and my wife! It seemed the orange one was spicier, but the darker...
