Exactly right, good guess!

chippy - 8-20-2020 at 09:05 AM

I was guessing. The landscape looked familiar but I don´t remember the structures behind the bell. I spent a couple of hours there in 1990.

José made a row of palapas for camping. Behind them and down on the cliff facing the fields are showers and flush toilets... Very nice!

Yes, but add the ': ALFONSINA'S :light::D:cool:

The AAA map (and my maps) made a great effort to spell places correctly.




chippy - 8-20-2020 at 04:39 PM

I was joking.

David K - 8-20-2020 at 04:42 PM

Well, joking or not... nobody else provided the correct name of the location until you did.
