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.

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

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

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.
