Can anyone share any info about the origin and early history on Pedregal in San Quintin? Like who built the first house and who built the runway and
when?
I got there in about 2003-4 and I estimate 20 or so years after it was started.
I know Rafael Orendain was the developer but nothing else.
I believe all the original home owners are gone.

It looks like the resort's website has its own history blurb right here. I do know that Coldwell Banker Riveras, serving Cabo, Todos Santos and the East Cape, has its origins in the earliest days of
Pedregal.

Different Pedregal but interesting forsure.
My understanding is that Pedregal means " lots of rocks" or " rocky field" or " rocky place".
I know of a few places with that name.

The Pedregal Cabo area is now hosting some of the absolute most expensive real estate in Mexico. High end hotels and multi-million dollar
homes. They dug a tunnel under the mountain to gain easier access to the land on the Pacific.
When I contrast that to my first visit to Cabo back in 1982, when there was but a single paved road, my head wants to explode.

a couple times here i've inquired if anyone has old photo's of the area, nada.....my earliest recollection of the old mill hotel there were car ports
between each room (that were eventually turned into rooms) and each room had stove and refrigerator, the showers at best were a trickle from the old
wooden tank.
someone has to have photo's from the era, old mill, ernesto's, how about the old pier hotel....still there?

I have seen a photo of Rafael in front of the old steam engine and nothing else is there.
As the english left it.
