Old photo album of La Paz


This is an old photo album from La Paz made by Francisco Aramburo, for those of you old enough to remember (Beeing the croud you are I doubt there are any old people here :lol: ) Francisco Aramburo is the one that made most if not all of the post cards that you found for sale for Baja California Sur and he has the Libreria y fotografia Aramburo on 5 de Mayo and Madero.
Front cover






This is were La Concha is now







Aerial view of La Paz





On this one you can see Aramburo building and the old La Perla de La Paz








Way back when Los Arcos Hotel was only one level and they had a bar on the roof top




This hotel "Los Cocos" used to be by were the Gran Baja is now



This was by Abaroa


The ferry was the pride and joy of Baja California Sur

The Aramburo bookstore was once located to one side of the plaza but has since disappeared. Francisco wrote a column for a La Paz newspaper, and a collection of these has been published in a book--an interesting read.
