Mision Santa Rosalia de Mulegè

Mision Santa Rosalia de Mulegè, Mulegé

Mulege Pig Races

Mulege Pig Races, Mulegé

 windsorgirl Says:  Although not quite comparable to the running of the bulls in Spain, the Mulege Pig Races do provide a fun diversion.The pigs are tethered to a line to keep them on track and are encouraged from behind by their owners. The Rotarty Club in Mulege sponsors this annual event to... 

Mulege River

Mulege River, Mulegé

Hotel Las Casitas: So unpolite service

Hotel Las Casitas: So unpolite service, Mulegé

 PALLINA Says:  I really dont know what was the matter with the waiter on that day in the restaurant of the hotel las Casitas. Food was ok and prices reasonable but the waiter was in such a bad mood that it is the only thing I can remember. 

Las Casitas: Great Margarita's

Las Casitas: Great Margarita's, Mulegé

 Agraichen Says:  Doesn't look like much from the street and it's a bit eclectic in side, but the food and Margaritas are great. I had a chicken enchalatas that not only were steaming when they arrived to our patio table they stayed warm as the plate was quite hot. Tasted home made. My wife... 

Shopping  

Aldolofo's Shop: Tourist trap or shopping "mall"

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Like most of the tourist shops, Aldolofo's carries a bit of everything but mostly Serape's, t-shirts, knick-knacks and ceramic plates. BIG ceramic plates. I think my wife "negotiated" for 30 minutes to get the price to 50% of list. Then I got to discover just how big they were and began to worry they would not fit on the plane in "carry-on" storage. They didn't but luckily they only took 3/4 of the space under the seats (yes both) in front of me. AND luckily there was no one on the flight to LA. Unfortunately there was someone in the window seat from LA to SF and I had to balance them on my feet to get them at an angle to not encroach on the other person too much. Luckily they made it without a scatch.

What to buy: T-shirts and large hand made, and painted ceramic serving platters. There were some very unique designs.

What to pay: NOT list price. Negotiate the best deal you can get and if you're not certain, just walk away. If they will come down a bit more they will come after you.

Road-side checkpoints

The highway between Loreto and Mulege is notorious for a number of things (narrow, speeding, solid yellow lines are decoration) but the one thing you can count on is the military checkpoint about 40 KM from Loreto.

Normally if you're southbound, you'll just get waved through, but most times, the northbound traffic is halted and you must get out of the car while they search it. And the DO search it.

Beaches, Mulegé
