Well....five days to go, and the way we go! Have one finale question for all of my friends here....where in San Felipe is the main produce and meat
markets? Please give driving directions!
Mercados

Three excellent markets in town are:
1. Mercado Horse - On Mar de Caribe just south of the traffic circle.
2. Mercado Sembrador - Southeast corner of Mar de Jonico and Calzada
Chetumal, halfway into downtown. Calzada Chetumal is the road which
heads downtown from the traffic circle.
3. Mercado Baja - North end of Downtown on Mar de Cortez (West side) just
Northwest of Bar Miramar.

San Felipe is so small that it is not a problem to find "downtown". More importantly, is to watch out for the ONE WAY STREETS (don't get a ticket),
and finding a parking spot. The main stores are one block away from the malecon, and most of the parking is 2-3 blocks from there. Be sure the
shrimp is FRESH. I would suggest buying shrimp at the marina which you'll find as you're driving out of town. If you find fruit stands around
Mexicali, you may have a better choice and better quality there.
