Nominate the most MIS-SPELLED Baja place


Maybe after the nominations are all in, I will do a poll...

I will start this off with a couple frequently mis spelled places (and the wrong way):

PUERTECITOS (Puertocitos)
ALFONSINA'S (Alphonsina's)

Here is an updated recap... The correct spelling is all CAPS (like the way Cristobal spells them).

PUERTECITOS (Puertocitos)
ALFONSINA'S (Alphonsina's)
TIJUANA (Tiajuana)
GUERRERO NEGRO (Guerro Negro)
ROSARITO (Rosarita)
MULEGE (Muleje)
LORETO (Loretto, Loredo)
SANTO TOMAS (Santo Thomas)
SAN VICENTE (San Vincente)
SAN QUINTIN (San Quentin)
SANTA YNEZ or SANTA INES (both used by the ranch, but not: Santa Inez, Ynes, Innes, etc.).
SAN FRANCISQUITO (various)
SANTA ROSALILLITA (Santa Rosaliita)
MALARRIMO (Mallarimo)
LOS BARRILES (Los Barilles)
ENSENADA (Encenada)
SAN FELIPE (San Filipi, etc.)
MEXICALI (Mexicalli)
BAJA (Baha)

BAHIA DE LOS ANGELES is NOT BOLA. Maybe BDLA? BOLA is from the English Bay Of Los Angeles.

To be clear... BORDER (boundry between political regions, ie. U.S. & Mex.) and boarder (someone who pays to sleep in a room)...?

Good one Duckman! I added it to the list above with a couple more.

Are there any more? Looking for places on a Baja map often misspelled in posts, here on the Internet.

How about that rock east of San Felipe that looks like a sail... is it CONSAG or KONSAG or ?

In come cases, Mexicans changed a name to work better in Spanish, such as COLONET which comes from Colnett (an English captain, the cape/point is named after, I believe).
