El Rosario


I am contemplating work/bisnuss opportunity in and around El Rosario. Is there anything I need to know about this place? Do I need a heads up?

You need to go there... it probably isn't what you think it is. How did you pick El Rosario for such a quest?

All your motel questions I have answered, with photos in the other thread you started: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48179

DavidK is right - come down, get to know the area, the people, the business community, climate and then you will be the best one to judge for yourself how well the area matches up to your expectations / needs. really pretty hard for any of us here to size that up for you only knowing that you have worked as a purchasing agent in Nevada.

Do you have legal status to work in Mexico?

Did you see the motel details here: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48179 ?

Antonio ('BajaCactus') will be an excellent source for your questions... he speaks English... email him at: info*AT*bajacactus.com (change the *AT* to @)

Here is what I can tell you from my experience...

It is a sleepy little town of maybe a thousand people, maybe more depending on how far out into the country you keep counting. It has several small motels, restaurants, taco stands, markets and one Pemex station. I believe it also has a small clinic but not sure if it is open every day. It is your typical little town on Highway 1 that makes a living off agriculture, fishing and pit stop tourism via highway travelers heading up and down the peninsula.

The weather gets hot in the summer days and cold in the winter nights. The bridge over the river south of town has been rebuilt a couple of times from high water during storm season and does cause quite a panic for locals and travelers when it is damaged as there is no way around until the water goes down and tractors can pull you across.

Not too much crime per se although there was a very unfortunate incident a year or so back. A local taco stand owner well known to Baja Nomads was hit by gunfire from a narco related shooting outside her little place of business and later died. Other than that I am not aware of much although others here may know more.

I forgot to add - the local business community there is pretty tight so I would definitely hook up with someone who is there most of the time (Antonio is usually up in Tijuana) who can show you the ropes. I know via the experience of a friend who just showed up there and put out his "open for business" sign that they don't always warm up to newbies who don't "pay their dues", so to speak.

Just my 2 centavos and good luck...

This is how he answered that, above:

"working as a purchasing agent for an existing outfit."

THE JOB WOULD BE MORE LIKE ACTING AS AN AGENT. EL ROSARIO IS JUST CENTRALLY LOCATED. NOT TERRIBLY FAR FROM ENSENADA.(SP) AGRICULTURE, EQUIPMENT AND FISHING INDUSTRIES, FROM THE GULF. IF THIS COULD BE HAPPENING IN A RESORT TOWN, SOMEONE ELSE WOULD PROBABLY BE THERE ALREADY. MY LUCK. RETIREING IN A COUPLE YEARS, GOOD CHANCE TO CHECK OUT THE BAJA, WIFE AND I LIKE TO FISH.

Sorry about the caps, just a lazy typist. As I understand, El Rosario is centrally located more or less. I'm not to particular where I live so much as long as it is a safe and friendly place. I lived in the middle of the Navajo reservation, NM. for 8 years, 150 miles from a computer store or good hospital. Front porch, lawn chair, cold beer, when I'm not working.
