How do I find the atm in Santa rosalia? I've never driven around in that town, just the highway through.

There are several. If you drive up the Main Street through town, you will have the locomotive at the entrance on your left as you drive up towards the
center. Pass the Eiffel church on your right. First there's a bank on your left and then one one the right on the next block. Banamex and Bancomer,
IIRC. There's also one on the southeast corner of the town square next to the Government Building. I'm sure there are others. Probably at Ley and the
big Pemex

There is also one in the local Calimax.

If you go to the two banks in town, about 8 blocks up the main drag, Banamex is first on the right and Bancomer is on the left just past it,
'catty-corner' from each other at a main intersection. Bancomer's machines are usually in working order, Banamex not so much. There is usually a
City Policia directing traffic on the corner. Both are just past the French Boleo Bakery.
Parking can be a real hassle during the day, so expect to hoof it one way or the other for a block or two when you find a place to park; and near the
banks BE AWARE, the green-curb zones are for taxi's only, and you WILL get in trouble if you try to park there. If it's a busy town-day, expect to go
around the blocks a few times, and by all means watch the "one-way only" signs (just arrows) the town is full of. You can also tell which is what by
the direction people are parked in on the curbs.
Also, if you turn right at that bank intersection and go only one street farther there is a 'parking garage' area on the right that charges (I don't
know how much now, guessing 20-30 pesos) where you can park as long as you like, securely, and is a good central spot in town if you want to take a
few hours to stroll the town. Across the street and east just a tad is a cool lil' grocery store (small abarrotes) that usually has some mighty fine
fresh produce you don't find elsewhere, and the gal that runs it is a sweetheart.
Addendum: if you keep driving 'up-town' past the banks another 6 to 8 streets is a yellow taqueria on the left that only serves carne asada tacos, but
as those of us who've lived there know, they are some of the tastiest in Baja. The relish trays are chuck full with goodness, and the meat is
marinated and grilled over charcoal to perfection. If you want a beer with lunch there are two depositos nearby, you can buy and bring your own, they
only serve sodas at the taqueria. GREAT lunch spot.

I heard this weekend from locals that the ATM inside the Ley supermarket is the best in Santa Rosalia should anyone have trouble with the downtown
ones.
