Went down to BOLA for the memorial weekend. Stopped by at

Parcela doce . Did the lady that runs the place pass away

recently?

Marva???? Wow... she was really a sweet lady.

Come to think of it the last 3 times I've stopped to eat over the last 6-7 months her husband (can't remember his name) was there.


Before she was always there 99% of the time.

She must have been ill. I have a friend that I can find out from

Alan from San Diego

Thanks for the street view.
It is indeed Km. 16, just south of the Km 16 post and that is also the El Pabellon RV Park entrance.
Fidel's El Pabellon is a half kilometer more south.
So, Parcela 12 is between the two El Pabellon RV parks (the original and Fidel's). on the northeast side of the highway (left if southbound).

We're planning on driving by Fidel's next month to get a feel of the camping grounds, any info...??? A couple of years back Ron (Talk Baja) posted some info regarding safety issues... Is that still an issue for tent camping...??

I drove in for a quick look a couple months ago, also the original Fidel's. Here is from my TRIP 3 report (March 2017):

Km. 25.5 Playa El Socorro
Km. 16.5 Fidel's El Pabellon (1.3 mi. in).







Nice place, next to a huge, flat beach.

Km. 16 El Pabellon (1.2 mi. in) 150 pesos per night. A HUGE caravan of RVs is all lined up and just pulling out. They are northbound and no way do I want to be caught behind a half mile long caravan! Before I get a photo taken of the place, I U-turn and get out just ahead of the lead RV.



Km. 15 Pemex station (Nueva Odisea)
Km. 14.5 Highway Fork (northbound), ahead is older route via Santa María.
Km. 11 Paved side road to Hotels Misión Santa María and Cielito Lindo. Pemex station 'Los Pinos'.
