Groceries are plentiful in Bahia de L.A.! There are three 'major' markets... The one at the end of the pavement 'Xitlali' painted a gross yellowish
color is perhaps the biggest. Fresh veggies come in once a week... The Pinos market on the right seems to be better with produce...
Paulina and Debra can provide better details since they spend a long time at the place... Mike Humfreville lives there.. even better. Also Mia...

David is correct.
Last year we took a good assessment of the mercados in Bahia de LA and decided that we were hauling way too much stuff down there.
You can pretty much buy whatever you need at one of the several stores in town.
Bahiamia helps Lizett with her store, computer stuff mostly.
Give her a U2U and ask for specifics.

Xitlati has more American type wares than the others (more expencive though) Dos Pinos better veges, usually, (as I understand it, the truck comes
twice a week and the stores take turns with the best stuff) Diaz has the best ice (frozen, not half melted when you get it. Help me out here, there
is a large store across the store from Los Pino's (Isla's?) that has the best prices on canned goods, and is also where it seems the locals shop most,
and the best place to buy water.
Bring your own spices (you can't find what you most use at home there) and bring all the batteries you will need, they are very expencive
there.....Hope this helps, see ya south!

After you turn right towards town, there is the one on the uphill side of the road that has the water hose for filling jugs and campers. It is
purified water dispensed through a meter on the wall inside. (My wife says it's dos Pinos)
Things to bring that we couldn't find in BOLA;
Panko batter mix
Oatmeal
dried sweetened coconut (for coconut shrimp and fish batter)
Granola
Good Tequila
Good cigars

A nice addition to the BOLA information available here. Having the photographs of the businesses is of much help.
Nice touch.

No problema. Was also planning to put a tide calendar in and also which ramps are recommended for launching at extreme low tides. Will hopefully
have it all ready pretty soon.
Thanks for all for the comments and suggestions.

Thanks Mia,
Totally helpful site.
We are splitting our squad in a month and sending some fishermen off to your Bahia ahead of us.
So, this should give them a good guide to shopping, etc.
Baja Vida and I should see you for a cold one (or two) by about April 4 or 5.
