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 [...]
Welcome to Puerto Peñasco. We know it is hot and muggy but let’s check out a couple of places you must go to when you are here. You need to treat yourself to a Piña Colada or try some of the best Sonoran Hot Dogs anywhere. Our first stop will be to Chon’s Sonoran Style [...]
Sonora happens to be the 2nd largest states in Mexico. Because of it’s size and terrain it is a very diverse state. It has in some area the feel of the old west whereas in others it is filled with modern development and condos such as Puerto Peñasco. The best description of the region would [...]
I recently sat down with Jorge Valdes along with his partner Aurelio Arguelles to learn about their new venture and about GARUFA and what it will mean to Rocky Point. Jorge said they had been thinking about this for many years and were nearly ready to start when the economy collapsed a few years ago. [...]
One of the questions that I get asked most frequently is if are staying in a hotel or condo in Puerto Peñasco, which has the best amenities and pools for a family or just my husband and my self. On Sandy Beach every property has a swimming pool and all except the Sonoran SPA and Esmeralda have [...]
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 [...]
In my previous blog, I covered the first two days of wine tasting in the Valle de Guadalupe. Here you will find part 2 of our wine tasting adventure there. This region is only 20 miles northeast of Ensenada Mexico and is nestled in a fertile valley surrounded by high mountains. It receives fog [...]
I normally don’t do blogs on areas other than Puerto Peñasco, but over several years of doing this, I get asked a lot by tourists who winter here, what can I do to see Mexico. Many of the Rv’ers love wine and have never heard of the Valle de Guadalupe’s Wine Country. So we decided [...]
