Well, if you are interested, you need to come and visit and make your own impression. The lifestyle is certainly much different than Cabo ( like the
difference between Night and Day). For me, the area is a little heavy on tourists, but some find that a plus. I spend quite a lot of time there but
choose to live in a smaller village. Nice restaurants that represent a good value and not an overpriced experience. Ray's in the Valley and Scotty's
El Candil are two of our favorites.
It is certainly different that Baja California and has a whole different flavor. Petty crime is usually your biggest concern but you learn to put
things away and that usually keeps them from "walking" away.
The people are very friendly and warm. Real Estate is as inexpensive or as expensive as you might want it. We have lots in San Bruno that have
electricity and water that go for $3,000 and water front lots at Punta Chivato that go for $150,000 (no elec).
Lots of little markets and stores where you can usually get almost everything you want within reason. (Sometimes ice cream is impossible to find).

I remember a small shop just a few doors past El Candil (towards the lavandaria) that sold sweets and ice cream....I don't know who made it but it was
good.
Mexican street vendors sell some of the best ice cream I have ever had....when you can find it 
Don't believe everything you think....

Yes, there's ice cream in Mulege, and that little open-air shop--
very, very tasty and my fav.
There's also another ice cream shop in town and you can find it in a couple grocery stores, too.
Mulege is a nice little village with good folks, imo.
Lifestyle options are for the individual's choosing.
Come rent for at least a year before buying is my sage advice. See how the glass slipper fits.

Mulege? If it wasn't for the poor fishing/catching, I'd be there right about now.

It's one of those been there, done that things. Spent 4 months fishing down "there". It ain't what it's cracked up to be, no bigee, just the way it
is. Fishing some more productive grounds now. Wishing all you Sea of Cortez fishermen good luck.

Lupi, sometimes bakes and delivers, bread, cin. Rolls, and assorted baked goods. When he is around, it`s great. Loreto has a great bakery. Magnam ice
cream bars are always available., but the location is secret. Yellow tail are plentiful now as well as small Dorado. Food shopping is a fun adventure,
as you might need to go to 3 or 4 stores to find what you need. Good inexpensive Mex restaurants and taco stands. Ray`s for fine dining, Scottys for
gringo hamburgers and good times. See my blog , link below, for life in Mulege.

If you are looking to buy there, the best deals are in the Orchard.
Look on craigs list to give you an idea of what is selling. You may also enter any city for a search criteria.

If Pompano doesn't mind me borrowing his shots.
Cappuccino and a strawberry pie from Margarita hits the spot.

I do agree that renting is a good idea - different towns float boats differently or something like that. I think Mulege is a fantastic town that
offers quite a lot of variety in terms of shops and food and people. The ex-pats that I have met seem to be a neat crowd who do lots of activities
together. The chili cook off festival really impressed me !
About the only negative is the heat. Boy it gets muggy in the summer ....
and petty crime is everywhere unfortunately ....

Hello, and welcome to the board. That's an interesting handle you have chosen there. Here is a photo of a wood carving from Mexico, in the 50's,
that was handed down through the years in my family. It hangs on the wall in our bedroom.

We're good customers of his when he drives down to the beach with freshly baked stuff. Lupi is a good baker! His jalapeno bread is my favorite. Wish
he would set up shop in town. Does he do the baking in his house?
