This is because the area was inhabited by Germans in the early 20th Century. A good overnight stop is The Old Mill. Brenda can arrange fishing charters, which go out of Bahia de San Quintin . The next landmark is El Rosario. If you didn't fill up with gas in San Quintin, do so here.
Summers can be extremely hot, so have plenty of water on hand.
It's 124 km to the next best pull-over stop, Catavina. Along the way, giant cacti grow up to 40-feet tall. Those who did not heed our earlier gas warnings can get it here from locals who sell it out of the back of their pickups at an abandoned station. It's about 15 pesos a liter. If it's getting dark, Hotel La Pinta, a Baja motel chain with clean, moderately-priced rooms, is available.
