They took us about an hour into the park, where we started the hike that Father Kino took to the top of Pinacate and discovered that Baja California was a pennisula rather than an island. My husband and I...

    Puerto Penasco Highland

    Here's an interesting video on a "planned community" in Bahia San Jorge called Puerto Penasco Highland. It looks like what they did in Dubai. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuxSj2RwB_k&feature=player_embedded#t=37 I'm curious how they'll get it approved with an environmental impact.

    Carne Asada Tacos in Sonoyta

    The best Carne Asada Tacos we've found are in Sonoyta are at El Serape, which is about 100' to the right of the T intersection, across from Circle K/Pemex. We've been going to Penasco for about 25 years, and are always searching for "The Best" tacos, and this is a quick stop for great food...
