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 [...]

When we speak of cities in Mexico and how old they are, we don’t realize that a city like Puerto Peñasco is still a baby. It officially became a city in 1952. In the late 1800′s – early 1900′s the largest city close to Rocky Point was Altar and that was the capital of the [...]
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 [...]
A little bit of history about Mother’s Day. It was started on May 10 1908 by a woman named Anne Jarvis but it wasn’t until May 8, 1914 that the US Congress designated Mother’s Day officially be on the 2nd Sunday of May. It is the 3rd largest holiday in the USA for sending cards [...]
