Yep! :light:
In 1966, I remember kids were selling big, juicy mangos for a peso (8 cents then).
The Hawaii of Baja, one book said.

My first visit there was in 1986, and it is one of my favorite towns on Baja, or the mainland! It seems to have changed much less than any place else we visited then.

We attracted quite a bit of attention then, a family of five in and old Suburban pulling an even older boat. The Alaska plates, and studded tires rattling on cobblestone streets helped start more than a couple of conversations.

Are there still snook in the river?

I did not fish the river when I stayed there a couple of years ago, but I walked my dog along the bank just downstream from the highway bridge a couple of times.

There were fish breaking the surface quite often! I don't know for sure what they were (looked kind of like mullet) but they could have been small snook, or fish fleeing from a large snook!

The first time there was in 1972 after four days on the unpaved Mex 1 it was a magnificent sight with the trees and the river, unforgettable.
