Loreto was the first town settled by the Spanish and the first capital of Baja. The first photo is the multiple islands in the Mexican National Park surrounding Loreto south to La Paz. Linda is sitting in one of the classic old hotels done in the Spanish style. There are many beautiful boulevards and classic Spanish style buildings throughout the area. Loreto has replace Mazatlan on the cruise ship tours of Mexico's west coast and Baja, as I discovered while having breakfast at one of the beach front restaurants. A large Holland America cruise ship came in and anchored in the open roadstead of Loreto
and ferried the passengers in to the small darsena. Loreto does not have a protected anchorage, but Puerto Escondido is right next door, but too small for a cruise ship.
The church in the last photo is the oldest chapel in Baja, built in the sixteenth centuary. You can see the different expansions in the varied stone work. Padre Kiono (famous for the crossing of the fathers at Padre Bay in Lake Powell) was one of the founders
