      Watch out

      February 4, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

      We receive the briefing to always check your shoes before putting them on. The advice: if you feel something crawling on your face at night, hold still and go back to sleep as the people who are bitten are those who try to hit the thing.Read more

      Ankunft in Loreto

      December 7, 2019 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Unsere Vorräte sind jetzt komplett aufgebraucht, kein Wasser, keine Lebensmittel und kein Bargeld mehr. Mit neuer handgefertigter Decke die Anja mit unserem letzten Geld unbedingt kauften musste, geht es in das nächste kleine Städtchen. 😅

      Wir sind gleich total begeistert! Es ist ein kleiner gemütlicher Ort mit viel Charme.
      Unser Campingplatz für die Nacht befindet sich mitten im der erstaunlich ruhigen Zentrum. Klein, schlicht und trotzdem sehr liebevoll geführt und seid langem mal wieder mit heißer Dusche ohne Zeitlimit 🤩...für uns der schönste Campingplatz seid langem!

      Ok Auto parken und alles erledigen. Das war mal wieder nichts..... dafür hatten wir einen unglaublich schönen, lustigen, feuchtfröhlichen Abend mit unseren Campnachbarn. Das war viel besser! 😄      Read more

      Back to Loreto

      January 7, 2023 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 59 °F

      I think Loreto may be my favorite largish town in Baja. It has many good restaurants and bars and one of the cutest old town area. The mission and other buildings on the town square are beautiful. It also has one of the best pizzas and margaritas I have event had 😉 we stayed at the Oasis hotel and it had quite a feisty resident who harassed us daily (watch the video)Read more

      Loreto, we like you!

      December 12, 2022 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

      We ended up staying an extra few days at Santispac, and why not :) We are now in Loreto, a cute little town on the east coast. It has an amazing little historical area with a lovely Malacón or, as we would call it, a boardwalk. Every night, no matter what day, you have guys cruising up and down, playing their music, as you see in the sixties movies .. so cool. We stayed at a typical Mexican hotel right on the beach, and it reminded us of the hotel we stayed at many years ago when we first started coming to Mexico, except it wasn't falling down. We had a lovely few days and found the best margaritas in town and a brewery!

      Unfortunately we also had one the worst meals I think I have ever had in my life, and it was the steakhouse right next to the mission with a fantastic setting and view. Next time, don't choose a restaurant in a tourist area :)      Read more

      Pizza n Chips...on the pizza

      February 13, 2020 in Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      13th February. Pizza with chips (on the pizza). Loreto.

      Our meal out was meant to be in a traditional place that has no menu and just serves you up whatever the lady of the house is putting together that day. It turned out to be closed. I was a bit disappointed as I was looking forward to an opportunity to experiment and get inquisitive. Our alternative turned out to be an ok pizza (with chips on it?!)- our first non Mexican food we've eaten (out-with our truck, Spud)- but it took an hour to arrive by which time any notion of a nice romantic meal was starting to slide into tiredness, as it was past our standard bedtime or 8pm.

      In Latin America, when it comes to pizza, and maybe even cooking in general, the concept of 'less is more' isn't particularly well understood or practised. So, in the case of pizza, excess cheese is an issue. Yet, we never seemed to bloody learn before. Better now, as we're rarely eating food that isn't traditional for the place we're in.

      A theme that's underpinning my current thinking of how principles such as 'less is more' might translate into whatever I do down the line, is refinement. I like the idea of taking authentic dishes and, whilst keeping them authentic regards flavour profile and, to an extent, texture, improving elements to turn out a more precise product with more distinction in the elements. The test that it should still pass is that someone from the place would still be able to recognise and connect with the dish and see it as a respectful nod. It has to be close enough to the original as well, because I want to be able to say, with integrity, that what I am serving is a real slice of the place. Authenticity is the differentiator that has the power to create an opportunity at home in the UK with Latin American cookery, but precision is what can take it to the next level, should that be the kind of product I decide I want to create. Ask most people what they think of when you say Mexican cuisine, and it'll probably be Fajitas, or other more Tex Mex varietals. I can't wait to serve people Mole, the rich and massively varied sauce from Oaxaca with all it's complex spices and chocolate (in some cases).      Read more

      Day 200

      Loretto

      December 2, 2016 in Mexico ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

      So we finally tore ourselves away from the utterly gorgeous beaches and drove an hour down to the town of Loretto, and set up in LA Riveriera RV park. It was really nice to have hot showers and wifi again! We had an incredible pizza (again now one of life's luxuries) and that evening we went down to Augie's, which has a daily happy hour(s) and polished off a few Negra Modelos.

      The next day we made the most of the internet and caught up on the world and with the family. The big adventure of the day was a visit to the supermarket, and we're so happy to find decent food shops at last, with good choice at great prices ($7 scotch anyone?). We couldn't resist going back to Augie's for $1 beers with free snacks and then we ate in a nice non-touristy restaurant in town.

      We were supposed to be leaving the next day but we found it hard to so ended up exploring the lovely old town in with a mission church from 1697, before trawling the tourist shops. Guess what - we ended up at Augie's again! We met a guy from the camp site there and had the most wierd night at a late night tacqueria, with an incredible Mexican chef who grew up in the states, and had fish & prawn tacos to die for!

      We eventually ripped ourselves away from this lovely little town, but not before a MASSIVE breakfast burrito at the same place as last night.      Read more

      ✒️/🚲 - 15: Playa El Resqueto/ Loreto

      November 7, 2021 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      DISTANCE: 95,3 km
      GAIN D'ALTITUDE: 607 m
      DURÉE: 8h 41min

      Départ de la plage tardif à cause d'un Sam qui regonfle et regonfle ses pneux et traîne. Assez frustrée, j'ai envie de décoller puisqu'on s'est levés tôt exprès pour échapper à la chaleur. Je pars devant toute seule.

      Rouler le long de Bahia de Conception, vue sublime, mer montage et cactus.
      La chaleur à etouffer cette aprem, compliqué de monter puis descendre.
      Et vent défavorable en bonus.
      Compliqué, heureusement qu'il y avait un Sam qui me suivait avec une gourde remplie de glaçons :)
      Arrivés à Loretto, on prend un hôtel pas loin du centre-ville. Ville plutôt animé et un centre ville, une place et une église. Premier ceviche très bon et petit concert.

      -- La Mer de Cortez --

      157 km - 1700m de dénivelé en 4 étapes (sur 1108km) et pratiquement autant de jour off.

      De Mulege à Loreto, la Bahia de Concepcion, une baie magnifique, combo gagnant de montagnes, plages et cactus. Avec aucun bâtiment, aucune infrastructure, juste des 'palapas' et la nature. Tellement sauvage, tellement magnifique.

      Se retrouver à manger du thon et des palourdes pêché et ramassées dans la baie (et boire de la tequila) autour d'un feu sur une plage avec des américains, y bivouaquer pour voir le lever du soleil et bien sûr chausser les palmes, ça ressemblait bien à quelques jours complètement fous. Avec le recul, j'aurais dû éviter les palourdes (ou la tequila) …

      Niveau snorkeling, le plancton a faussé la visibilité et m'a fait un beau tatouage à l'avant bras. Bien plus dangereux que le serpent à sonnette aperçu dans la palapa. Mes palmes sont quand même contentes de prendre l'air. Mon masque s'est fait la malle du coup.

      Continuer la route avec Sam, un des Américains, aussi à vélo. On est quelques cyclistes à faire la même route, parfois je les croise dans l'autre direction et puis parfois dans la même direction. C'était l'expert des crevaisons, alors maintenant je sais dire rustines, pneus et dégonfler en anglais. Nos chemins se sont séparés à Loreto, et avec lui sa gourde isotherme remplie de glaçons et ses chokis.

      La doudoune va pouvoir rester un moment au fond des sacoches, les températures sont bien montées. Pas forcément idéales pour rouler.

      Grâce à ces derniers jours, mon téléphone est rempli de fond d'écran, sans avoir eu besoin de filtre. Des paysages et lumière incroyables. Peu de montagnes, je n'ai jamais eu le courage de m'arrêter en pleine montée ou en pleine descente.
      C'était juste beau!      Read more

      Loreto Mexico

      January 11, 2017 in Mexico ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

      Loreto was a great surprise to us. Unlike any location that we had ever seen in Mexico. Clean with lovely people who did not push themselves on you. We walked the safe streets and enjoyed wonderful weather and the Spanish environment.Read more
