Is there a Western Union office in Ensenada?

Hi:

I need to send some money quickly to a friend in Morelia, Michoacan.

I am thinking maybe Western Union can do it, but I do not seem to be able to locate a Western Union office in Ensenada.

Can anyone help?

Gracias.

Beat me to it, but right on. Electra is a large chain store and the one in Ensenada that I'm aware of is on Juarez/5th....one or two blocks north of Ruíz. Ruíz is the street Hussong's is on, and who wouldn't know that.
Another landmark to look for right in front of Electra is the huge statue of a woman with an extra large rack, standing and nursing an infant. If you miss that, well...I don't know what to tell ya. :lol:

Thanks everyone.

So if I use the service in Elektra, my friend can pick up the cash in Morelia at any Elektra store there. Is that correct? Or is it Banco Azteca that she needs to go to in Morelia (assuming Banco Azteca has branches in Morelia).

Me again.

When I go to Elektra, what documents do I need to bring with me? What info regarding the recipient in Morelia do I need to give them? (name, address, phone number, birthdate???).

And when she picks up the money, what does she need to show them to get the cash?

Thanks again.

There is a sign advertising Western Union on a building across the street from the Army Base in Cipres. If northbound on Hwy 1, turn left at the stoplight intersection (Bonafaz) at the end of the army base, then look at the building on your right.
