Well, we sure didn’t think Spring would roll into Puerto Peñasco like this.

There’s plenty going on around town this weekend, so let’s get to […]
This febrero has taken a turn for friiio this week, so be sure to keep warm inside and out. Possibly it’s because of February’s full “Snow Moon” (Feb. 8th – first super moon of 2020), or just a reminder we are indeed still in winter. Stay warm at your favorite watering hole this weekend, or […]
