(Another step of of "Escalera Nautica" gone astray.)


The marina is a joke, true that!

I wish the locals would put up a plaque listing the design engineering firm. That would provide amusement.

I do hope a hurricane washes it away,... Would be nice to give the town back a little old time rustic charm.

Historically the spelling has been Rosalillita. I don't know of any other Spanish name with two i's together:


..."El que sí sabe, sabe lo que no sabe."


...definitivamente estoy de acuerdo con lo que citas lencho; pero la verdad es que David tiene la razón, pues no pude encontrar ningun nombre personal con "ii"

...in other words David is correct...!!!


Thank you Carlos.
Lencho, I believe I was clear when I said that I don't know of any double i words in Spanish. I wasn't saying there weren't any.

The intention is knowledge... knowing how to spell place names in Baja preserves their history, respects the names, and permits finding out more because if you search online for a place using the wrong spelling, you may not find what you seek! :light:

Everything here on the Baja Internet should be done both for good fun and knowledge, I think!

Sometimes original place names do get changed by the local population (who wasn't around when the place got its name). COLONET is one example. AGUA DE CHALE is another. While both these places were originally named for English male names (James Colnett, Charley the Chinaman).

Perhaps Santa Rosalillita will be changed by locals to Santa Rosaliita, some signs are already spelling it the 'new' way?
