My casual guess is La Purisima, looking east... seems like the slope of El Pilon. My second guess is Mulege... if I get two! 
I don't get anything putting my mouse over, but I am browsing with Chrome, not IE.

Well, just because the photo link says Santa Rosalia doesn't make it so... Old Santa Rosalia was a French mine town and had none of those Mexican
style buildings, as that photo shows...
A couple of 1953 photos of Santa Rosalia from Howard Gulick:

My first reaction was La Paz, but then I noticed that the hills in the background seem too close to be from the plaza. Perhaps San Miguel de Comondu.
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

Isn't that the patron saint of San Ignacio, San Ignacio de Loyola, in the foreground? Then it must be San Ignacio!

By golly, I think you got it... the photographer was on the steps of the San Ignacio mission, thus the elevation gain... and the plaza has yet to grow
the giant trees we see today!!??

Nearly 100 years later, and all those buildings are still there. The building to the left is where Kuyima Ecotours is today. I bet those folks in
the picture couldn't imagine that the Baja 1000 would someday race through that same plaza. Actually, I bet they didn't even imagine the Baja 1000.
Heck, I bet they didn't even imagine cars!

What a fantastic old photo of that square!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Tie this thread to the one by Ligui titled There Back. If you did that, you would have to say "this is there".
