I have another one on my list that suspiciously looks like a cemetery
it is right next to a mine - maybe they buried the poor no-names there

Wow, not meant as a hy-jack, but these photos really show the vulnerability of the town to flooding.

well, when the French built the houses they kept a main water channel to the south open (free of houses) and an emergency water flow to the north.
Since humans love to live where the neighbors live - there are houses now everywhere.

1884 til 1954 - 70 years

I mentioned to a friend one year that in my opinion Santa Rosalia had the most beautiful women
He could not stop laughing
According to him, Santa Rosalia has the most women that are not women
Ha!

I wrote an article about the Santa Rosalia history along with the pre-fab church designed by Eiffel story: https://www.bajabound.com/bajaadventures/bajatravel/eiffel_c...

your article triggers more questions

why is the town called Santa Rosalia even though the official church designation is Santa Barbara?

the black beaches?
likely not from the volcano
more likely the leftover from the copper processing
the hills of black stuff in town are witness of that
much of it was dumped into Arroyo El Purgatorio
from there it washes into the ocean

The town came long before the church (see the article for dates).
They named the town after the nearby mission at Mulegé.

Yes, the black sand is from mine activity but it can still remind one of the nearby volcanoes.

Santa Rosalia was founded in 1885
the church was built 1897
Santa Rosalia has no colonial roots
no rancho, no village, no fish camp - nada
