Oh my, does this mean all the rooms in town are taken? We were planning on stopping there next Tuesday or Wednesday on our way home to
Loreto....................

One trip in 2015, we arrived to find a wedding party had reserved the entire La Huerta hotel... The Desert Inn was way too pricey for us so we stayed
at Ricardo's (Rice and Beans), which was not very nice for the (higher than La Huerta) price and included bugs on the floor.
The Baja Oasis Motel on the highway, just east of the town entrance road looks promising. There is also the old Hotel Posada, drive past the La
Huerta, on the right. The Motel Fong is on the entrance road near Hwy. 1.

Sad to see it closed. San Ignacio will always remain one of our favorite places. |
Bought a hat there many years ago. Chatted with the owner about the history of some of the older buildings. He loved that old door.

That place was a cool old school Baja general store. I bought a cool ranchero style had there some years ago. I still have the hat and wish the
place was still open.

Thanks Juanita for the update!
If you have a chance, could you take some photos of the main square activities? You can send them to me if you want.
JALE is the funniest thing I have heard in a while LOL

In the plaza, the wheelchair ramps have disappeared, lower parts removed and upper parts covered with plywood. The newer electric meter boxes have
had their metal parts covered with old metal and the street lights have been changed to yellow and boxed to leave shadows. San Ignacio is fading
slowly back into the 1970's. This morning Jalisco sat waiting for a 'curtain call' to film a segment in the plaza and this afternoon the entry road
was closed for filming.
As to accommodations, Hotel La Huerta is booked all month. Bonnie and Paul, the new Canadian owners of Ignacio Springs are keeping some rooms ready
for travelers, Baja Oasis has rooms available, Desert Inn also has rooms, and Ricardo's Hotel, too.

Juanita, thanks for the updates on hotels in San Ignacio. We ended up getting to San Ignacio early enough yesterday that we pushed on to Sta. Rosalia
and stayed at El Morro. We had a swim in the pool, a drink on the patio, and dinner at the restaurant. And were home nice and early in Loreto today
to unpack in the heat!
We still love La Huerta and San Ignacio. I'm sure we'll be back.

Filming tonight in front of Manuel Meza's first store, 'La Pasadita.' The actors are all Ignacianos.
I shouldn't have posted the picture of the scene in the film. Today they explained to me the scenes themselves are proprietary and I can certainly
understand that. Guess it was destiny that the picture didn't post as I wanted anyway. Today they were filming in the streets around my block.
Little boys were pulling packages of 'polvo' from my neighbor's tree. When the rain began, they opened umbrellas and kept on filming.
