Years ago, the only time there were back ups going into Mexico at the Lukeville, Arizona crossing would be on the major United States holidays and the return would be the same issues, long lines for hours. Fast forward to 2018 and you will find long lines on nearly every weekend coming and going. Tourists [...]
Well summer is finally here. Fortunately thus far it has been quite pleasant. One thing about living in Puerto Peñasco aka Rocky Point is that there is always a breeze off the Sea of Cortez. The tourist traffic has been very high for June and shows no sign of letting up for the rest of [...]
Now for a lesson on Tequila. The one thing both Bacanora and Tequila have in common is that they are a distilled alcoholic drink. The main difference is that in order for Tequila to be called Tequila is that it must be made from the Blue Agave. Tequila is also a regional drink but is [...]
If you have been following our wine road trip through the Valle de Guadalupe, we spoke about how it is only a six hour drive from Puerto Peñasco. Well the same can be said about finding the Bacanora Trail. It is 6 hours to Hermosillo where you can spend the night in great accommodations with wonderful [...]
Back in the 1980′s there were not a lot of hot spots to go to in Puerto Peñasco. There was JJ’s in Cholla Bay and Manny’s Beach Club in the Mirador area. Manny catered in those days to the upper and middle class people and their first stop upon arriving in Rocky Point was Manny’s [...]
Once again Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner. If you still have not made your reservations for a condo on Sandy Beach or a beach front home in Las Conchas, now is the time as many are already booked full. In May the weather is still beautiful and the Sea of Cortez will [...]

The event is open to the public and will have FREE Bacanora tastings and you can purchase [...]
In our previous food blog we covered the restaurants and bars in Rocky Point on the Malecon (Old Port area). In this one we will cover the places in town and Sandy Beach. Besides the ones mentioned you can find Taco places all over town so if you are looking for something unique, ask and [...]
As 2017 starts to come to an end, we give thanks for our health, all the good things that have happened in Puerto Peñasco and for all the tourists that have come here to enjoy our piece of PARADISE. After Thanksgiving, things slow down until New Year’s Eve and then the parties start all over [...]
NO SHIRT…NO SHOES…NO PROBLEM. For years that has been the mantra of ”old friend” Sr. Manny Sanchez, owner of Manny’s Beach Club. Recently I had an opportunity to discuss his life and his dreams. When my husband and I first came to Puerto Peñasco in the mid 1980′s, we parked our little travel trailer in the Playa Miramar [...]
