Don Pablo's Baja California history, published in Spanish in 1956 and English in 1960, has been criticized by researchers because it lacks a bibliography and has scarcely any reference citations.

An edition published in 2003--Historia de Baja California: Edicion critica y anotada--is considerably larger [717 pages], sources have been cited, and in addition to a Bibliography it even has an Index. The scope of the book has been extended, mostly by adding a lot of research having to do with Alta California.

The original name has been retained, and Martinez is still credited as the author. That's a bit misleading--the text has been totally rewritten, and this is a completely different book from the one he wrote.

Juan's photo is of Bahia Santa Maria, but it's the one by the Twin Dolphin hotel between Cabo and San Jose. A beautiful little cove but not the Bahia Santa Maria near Punta Hughes at Mag Bay that Dave was talking about.

Then there is the Bahia Santa Maria, twenty miles south of San Felipe! Just a shallow scallop of a bay that empties at low tide, named by Aniceto Maduena when he began a campo there about 1970... More details at www.viabaja.com (not my vivabaja.com)... We called it 'The Lagoon' before then.

The only place I know of where the langosta california(red one),langosta carribeana(purple one), and the langosta hawaiiana(brown one), all live in the same hole!!

I thought the brown one tasted best!
