SPOTLIGHT: Mulege

I had been hearing about Mulege for years. All I knew was that it was about halfway down the Baja, on the Sea of Cortez. Recently I had the opportunity to see it firsthand on my roadtrip down the peninsula.

Mulege is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. The water is shades of turquoise, green, and deep blue. The bay is flanked by huge islands that look like something out of a movie.

For those that want to escape the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities and enjoy some peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It is a great place for fishing, as it is where the cold currents from the North and the warm currents from the South meet. Mulege is also extremely popular with sailors. The town has a river running through it and is almost jungle like.
