Mulege vacationers and money
I'm curious to hear feedback about how vacationers to Mulege do their money. Typically, we just bring all the pesos we need for a week (for gas
roundtrip, food and shopping) down from the States, but aren't always comfortable carrying that much cash. Are ATM's in Sta. Rosalia always reliable?
Are there plans to put a bank or ATM in Mulege? I'd love to get other ideas from you all.

I'm assuming there have been no problems with this ATM? It's always up-and-running and reliable?

I wouldn't assume there have been no problems with this ATM! Nothing in Mexico is always up-and-running and reliable!

 Yes, tuna stick... It's part of what endears me to Mexico. I just don't want
to be stuck short in the money department!

Bob,
As you head into town past the municiple building, take the first left towards the lavamatica and the bank is on your left in the middle of the block.
It's the ground floor of a 2 story building across from Bruce's old business.

it's a regular bank
no atm problems
contact your local bank in the usa to avoid transfer fees and have them mark your account that you'll be using your card in MEXICO
the ATM "pays out" in pesos soooo....
our bank likes to charge a "international fee" to take money
i hate banks...
they charge you to get the "your" money
the bank will exchange dollars at the current rate without fees
much better than a cambio at the border
just bring dollars
they love money here

Water-proof money belt and an ATM card. I would NEVER rely on Atm (s) exclusively. Keep a couple of cards in different secure places and a couple of
stashes of $ both US and Pesos. Just my method. hope it helps.

I have "NO" money to bring.
So, I usually work my way down.
Sometimes it takes a while to get to where I'm going.

Cap, good advice. Never had problems with the ATM's though.
BTW, is that your plane in your avatar>? It looks like Michale George's plane that used to be parked at the Serenedad. He used to own the bar in
front of the hotel hacienda in Mulege, until he passed of cancer. Interesting fellow.
I will be there mid November, looking forward to meeting up with you.

Cap...what kinda money do you carry??...My money is waterproof Some
papers are not...not that I would put them in my money belt as I tend to only get in it when I am in a sucure place.
My point is why...is there something I need to learn

Thanks for these directions. I know wher ethe lavamatica is. Everyone seems to know where Bruce's old business was - I don't. Is it a landmark of
some kind that I should be familiar with?
Again, thanks for this information.
