Here's some photos of Rancho San Vicente:
This is my wife with Marcos and his hermana Margarit, sorry I rotated them in photobucket and they show correctly there but not here for some reason.

The pots on the rack are the ones they actually cook with over their open wood fires. I can't tell you what the prices are, it's been a couple of
years since I've been there. Usually he's mostly sold out and you need to make an order, there are shop owners who go there and buy up everything to
resell in stores in Todos Santos and Los Cabos.

of the ranchos are indicated. |
I see what you mean, I found San Vicente de la Sierra on Google earth
satelite view and they have it about 10K east and slightly north. Nowhere near where the almanac puts it. Funny that!
I see the road you used, we'll just have to take a look your way come November.

If you find your way to San Vicente, Marco's place is the last place at the end of the road.
