Loreto Nov 2020

In Loreto the other day, found an organic food market! Who knew?



Approaching town







Magical it is!









You know you are in Loreto when you see this chameleon!










This was on the wall not too far from the Ole Cafe where we always go....lots of memories of being there with friends over the years.








More buildings








Saw these girls sweeping and then taking a break










Part of a gate, I find ironwork so fascinating.







Met Anna!
















There were so many products and arts/crafts. Well worth the stroll on a Saturday.









This is the first time I have seen pulque in Baja! We drank it on the mainland near Puebla and boy oh boy, that is some POWERFUL drink!










The weather is incredible now, mild, very mild.

We went to the Sea of Cortez (El Burro beach) but the water was too cold. Just last month it was perfect.

I hope you have enjoyed the short trip report.

Did you by chance try it? I've always understood pulque to be a living beverage, and don't understand how the essence can survive if canned or bottled... :?:


The bottled stuff is likely pasteurized. The authentic version only lasts a few days...

Loreto and San Carlos in Sonora are by far my favorite Mexican towns.

Pretty similar and both awesome.

Missing Loreto

Thx for posting your pics. We love hanging out in Loreto!
We are still exercising travel precautions but hope to be heading south this spring! 😎
Until then we will live vicariously through pics and past memories.

Lovely photos! Good to know about the organic option at the Saturday market.

Thanks for the updates!

Did not try the pulque last Saturday but did try it when we were in Puebla ... I cannot remember the name of the town but it had a pulqueria or pulque bar.

The taste of the pulque, plain, is horrid. Such a stink! the taste with juice makes it great, Very potent and after one I fell asleep in the car Hahahha

We will be back there Sunday Nov 15 (late pm) to drop off Les's daughter/son in law at the airport if anyone wants to meet up!

Probably eat at Del Borracho.

The bagels are REALLY tasty!


From Loreto to our kitchen to my belly.

Cool. The valley west of Mulege is all organic too. Not really promoted but some amazing organic produce without the organic prices you would pay in the US or gringo areas.

BajaBlanca - 11-17-2020 at 09:12 PM

Did not know that!
