I held my nose and voted for Concepcion to see the results.

It's either San Ignacio or Santa Rosalia. SR make a lot more sense though. It covers the end of what one would think of as the central coast on the Pacific side. Just ties it off nicely.




I first responded El Rosario to Santa Rosalia. Much of it has to do with identity to me. People flying into Loreto don't quite understand what it's like in Vizcaino:light:

Another viewpoint:

Central Baja is the stretch of Baja inhabited by those who painted the rocks and caves - from somewhere between Catavina and El Rosario to the Mulege area.


Very interesting point of view!

Another way to approach this question of dividing Baja into thirds, could have been to ID northern and southern Baja... and what was not included in those polls would automatically be 'central Baja'.

The northern third (so far) seems to extend ~200 miles south of the US border (i.e. El Rosario or Gonzaga Bay). If we apply the same distance logic to the southern third, the south end of Magdalena Bay (200 miles north from Cabo) would be the divider. Many have expressed Santa Rosalia/ San Ignacio as being where southern Baja begins, but those two places are about 1/2 the distance down the peninsula from the US border and about 50 miles south of the state border.

That kind of division looks like:


Northern Baja
Baja Peninsula.jpg - 142kB

Central Baja
Baja Peninsula-2.jpg - 103kB

Southern Baja

Baja Peninsula-1.jpg - 183kB

Pretty generous to have 'southern Baja' be close to half of the peninsula!

Any minds changed?
I think I still like Concepción Bay and maybe Loreto in Central Baja.

Anyway, this was just a fun exercise. Keeps us talking about Baja!
