Trick? or Treat? Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!

casa-del-capitan Trick? or Treat? Rocky Point Weekend Rundown!This weekend rundown sponsored by La Casa del Capitán – Check out their fall sunsets!

Candles and altars. Sugar skulls, masks and make-up. It’s yet another time of year when the mixed cultures of our seaside port fuse even further; weekend Halloween parties fill just about every cantina in town, followed by the traditional wonder of Day of the Dead activities. Take time to enjoy the flavors and festivities, and let’s run down the weekend!  GO CUBS!

Driver’s note: Bumpy “rough road” between KM 15 – KM 30 just south of Sonoyta when heading to Rocky Point. Watch for SAND on Coastal Highway towards el Golfo.
