Santiago Accommodations
I understand that there is a small hotel in Santiago (South Cape) with a restaurant in front. Is there more than the one hotel there?
Just asking for this town...not any other locations....gracias.

Had a wonderful meal, and 3 hours of wandering the courtyard at El Palomar Restaurante y Hotel in the first week of January, 1996. Not a day goes by
without wishing for another visit. Every kind of tree (mostly one of a kind) from avacado to almonds to limon y lemones adorned the grounds with
tables surrounding the flora, both frutas y semillas, flores y pimientos. My (now weathered) guide book said it was a haunt of Errol Flynn and of
course, Hemmingway (who called Mulege a mosquito infested swamp i think).
With the flood of humanity from Los Barriles southwards, especially south cape, i doubt i will ever return (personal reasons) but the romanticism of
that off-the-path place will be indellibly branded into my heart. Hope you find it well and still rustic, romantic, and funcitoning. Buena Suerte.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Holy Moses!
Sergio would be shocked to gear he's closed.
The Hotel Palomar was open and running last time I was in town August this year.
Still the best and only place to stay in Santiago unless you know someone.
Restaurant still good and ambiance superb.
Sergio will pick you up at the airport too.
Of course I can't find his number, but I'll check my Mexican phones when I'm back in Phoenix.
Don't hold your breath, though.
I'm driving down there again in a couple of days.

I love to go to the restaurant on a cool day and sit in front of the fire while having lunch.

Thanks folks....I just heard from a fellow moto guy that he stayed there in the past month....it seems that there are about six rooms behind the more
apparent restaurant....
His comments about finding the place (from a ride report that you ALL will enjoy...good pics of some places you all want to see....and some of you
have...):
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=922187
"I rode as far as La Vinorama and said goodbye to the Sea of Cortez as I cruzed up some windy dirt roads through the hills and to the hwy and turned
back north towards Mira Flores. As I was buzzing up the hwy a huge hive of honey filled bees flew into me (or me into them). I thought I was going to
be a pin cushion for their stingers but not a single sting! I had honey on everything though and I couldn’t even see out of my goggles.
I arrived in the pretty and quiet little town of Mira Flores and stopped for a cold soda but there was no hotels here so I took some little dirt back
roads up to Santiago where I found the little gem El Palomar Hotel. I was the only customer so I got a lot of attentive service from the manager
(Lenny). Yup, another Lenny. This place is in the mtns so it stays much cooler. There are trees and many cooing doves and other birds here, a piece of
paradise. This was perfect."
with the owner/manager ?:
And the rooms:

Doesn't look like it's changed much in the 25 years since I was last there.

I remember it as a beautiful and peaceful spot. We used to go there frequently for breakfast when we camped in Los Barriles.

we would go there for lunch, pick oranges in the orange grove there and they would make our drinks with them...they always always told us to take
whatever fruit we wanted...we'd then usually wander down to the local zoo for a stroll with the animals then head for the hot springs at agua
caliente...a great full day!

Yep....sounds like a good place to be for a few days....good base to explore from. Last time I was at the swimming hole, there were lots of black
snakes around the dam and the water's edge....aside from that, the whole area was begging for more time to look around 
Is the zoo still operating?

i don't think the zoo is now open...the poor animals were in bad shape last time we were there.....if you go back to the hot springs take the easy
hike up to the waterfalls upstream...there's one spot where you might have to swim/wade a bit to get all the way up but believe me, it's worth
it...there have always been a lot of snakes there but i've never seen a rattler...we have seen bullfrogs the size of a small dog fighting sumo
wrestling style...quite a sight!
