I guess so. It was an ejido designation I suppose. Territory marking like a dog will do to a neighborhood of tires. It was probably planned before
the road to La Bufadora was cut on the other side of the mountain. It just made more sense to locate near the road so, being an Ejido, they just
did what they wanted to do. Land reform gave these folks all this power so they wouldn't have any more armed revolts.

Unhijacking the Subject
Went into Rosarito midafternoon today.
Lots of traffic - autos and people on sidewalks.
The city, from a car window view seemed to be busy with visitors.
I hope that everyone has a happy and safe Easter Holiday.

Beachbum1A just called from Puerto Nuevo, enroute from Ensenada to the US. He said all the beaches are PACKED! Today's El Vigia reports the same
thing from yesterday.

Just returned from Punta Banda/Campo La Jolla. Beaches and campgrounds are packed! Stores are very busy. Looks like a normal Santa Semana in these
parts

After I went there with Doug (Baja Nomad) a few years ago, I always go back to CHELA'S... it is the place on the top floor of the 3 story building...
well signed, the first business street to the left after entering the Puerto Nuevo arch... YUM!

Another vote for Chela's. Good food, nice people. Wish I could be down there now! I have my father-in-law, and my wife's nephew from Ensenada spending
Semana Santa here. Carne asada for Easter dinner, YUM!

That's because they have all gone to San Felipe! It's packed there right now, and as we left yesterday, more were heading south from Mexicali and
beyond.
The majority are camping, one good windy day should flush them all out...
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

You folks are right about Chelas. Took a nephew there many moons ago and had a great meal there. A few people were bad-mouthing Ortegas because they
use "catalina"lobsters not local? What does that mean. The only REAL lobster I know of come from my neck of the woods- Massachusetts. You know, the
kind of lobster with two claws? lol

They come frozen from lobster farms in chunkyalandia and points south. Been going on for 20+years.
