Check out the post under Los Vientos Spa and Resort.
If that sounds like a taste of "Baja" to you, you definately wouldn't like Erendira:lol:
By the way, I am sure that it is being pronounced a little funny. I will try to help. R's to be rolled.
Ehr end ee rah Ehrrrrendeerrra with the accent over the "end" part in the middle of the word.

I'll see if I can find some pictures.:light:

It was early David


"L.A. Bay (in August) will be the quietest Baja 'tourist' town you will ever witness! I have not been there in August".

I understand completely.:lol:

All of the above has been taken into consideration


Which is why I recommend Erendira. Seriously!

Just in case you decide to go to San Quintin, I would recommend Pabellons. Great camping, good surf, nice showers.

They were charging $5.00 per night, don't know what the rate is now.

Also, get a good Mexican "guide" book, I would recommend The Magnificent Peninsula, Baja California by Jack Williams;Baja Camping, by Fred & Gloria Jones; West Mexico From Sea To Sierra by Charles Kulander are all good.

"Get a good MEXICAN guide book"

"Williams, Jones, Kulander"

None of those authors' names sound Mexican to me!

Gee, now I am picking on you Margie!

I think Margie was mentioning quality guide books as opposed to Frommer's and other lame ones. I like the Baja Handbook by Joe Cummins (sp?) myself, but I always seem to give the books away while I'm traveling. If the trip is not going to be too long, I'll get it from the library, but I won't give those ones away; no way.

Yah, I was just giving her a hard time because she didn't say 'Baja' guide book.. she said Mexican guide... and since those books deal only or mostly with Baja and not all of Mexico, by saying Mexican guide... it sounds like guides written by Mexicans. Good night Pack man!
