Two Gonzaga questions


Is the Pemex still closed on Wednesdays?

Are there rooms for rent there (overnight)?

Gas station is open when they feel like it. No real set hours that we could discern even when asked.
Alfonsinas has rooms for 65-75 per night. Most likely wont need reservations unless it is a race weekend.
Food is good at both Papas and Alfonsinas.
No generator at Alfonsinas now as they are rebuilding the generator building as of two weeks ago.
They have power for lighting only at this time.

Gas station open most of the time with no problems. Suggest you make res. for rooms at alfonsins as baja 1000 is coming up. PS They own the gas station also.

(1) I agree with the comment above, the gas station is open when they want to be. I was there a few weeks ago, and they were open on Wednesday. As always in Baja, get gas when you can.

(2) Rooms are available at Alfonsina's, Sacrificio aand Papa Fernandez's. Palapas are available for rent at Rancho Grande. I recommend reservations at Alfonsina's if you are there Thursday through Saturday night.

Do you know if any of the places that rent rooms in Gonzaga Bay are dog friendly?



Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Grace, I would think Alfonsinas is probably pet friendly. I don't know how a dog could do any more damage

Palapas also at Campo Beluga (flush toilets and showers, too)... Just a mile+ south of Rancho Grande.

Little dogs tend to become happy meals for the 100 or so coyotes who live in the bushes about 50 yards from the cantina. Big dogs sometimes make friends with them. There are Mexican camp dogs who are the only dogs I have ever met who are born with good manners.....won't bark unless provoked, will not come into your house unless asked, happy to be petted and talked to at any time.....I think we should give them a Gingo pedigree and import them to the USA where they could run a school for the spoiled brats some of us have for a dawg.

David............this is one of the few places that I haven't been too on the Cortez side. My question to you : is the road going in.....does it require four wheel drive?

NO... they couldn't do much business if that was the case... Wide, flat graded road... It leaves Hwy. 5, 1.2 miles south of the Gonzaga Pemex. Signs for Beluga and Sacrificio there... Sacrificio is several miles beyond Beluga. Of course it is a dirt road and there could be soft spots or blow sand. So, don't slow down or stop on soft sand... keep your momentum up and cross through it.

Alfies rooms $85

Not worth it. I think greed is creeping around there.

...and yes...where is the fish report! You went down there with the group?

Deno, that is probably a Baja 1000 event price... It was $60 the last time Antonio was asked by a Nomad.
