Thursday May 10, 2012 – Mexico Mother’s Day

Posted on May 10, 2012 by BajaC

Beautiful May Days! A lot has been going on in the little town by the sea… Today is Mother’s Day in Mexico, celebrated with song and Fireworks at midnight, and spreading into a beautiful day to commemorate the Mothers, Mommys and Moms.

The past weekend saw a great Chili Cookoff celebration:

A Fun n' Fiery Chili Cookoff 2012!

It’s been heating up in San Felipe, making it perfect weather for a sail around the bay…

Hop Aboard!

With some icy cold ones afterwards…

Frosty...

The perfect time for a little beach trip or mini-vacation, so head down and enjoy it with us!

So head on down to San Felo...

You can check out more photos from the Chili Cookoff HERE! Hope everyone is having an excellent week, have fun plans for the weekend and is staying cool!

Friday, April 27, 2012 – Construction Continues

Posted on April 27, 2012 by BajaC

Construction on the Malecon has progressed, slowly but surely! With a lot of focus on keeping the Malecon looking well-maintained and new, and keeping San Felipe’s downtown clean, the past 5 and a half months have definitely made an improvement on the town:

North end of the Malecon is still under construction, a fence has been put up around the rower's equipment.

Sea side of the Malecon is done and looking very nice...

The small section of Chetumal in between the Malecon and Ave. Mar de Cortez being redone.

The center of the Malecon is being prepped for concrete...

Meanwhile the finished Malecon stretch is looking nice, clean and smooth with trash cans lined all the way down and a temporary railing installed.

And so construction has continued… on the other side of the street, construction has not yet begun past the Chetumal intersection, but slowly and surely, work is moving on and the Malecon is feeling fresher and cleaner already! Leave a comment below and let us know what you think of the redesign!!

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 – Semana Santa is Over

Posted on April 11, 2012 by BajaC

The past weekends’ Semana Santa festivities have come to a close, and the crowds have headed home.  This year’s Semana Santa was a success; busy, bustling town and everyone stayed safe and had fun.

The town did a lot of work to make sure this was a great Semana Santa. The beaches were prepared and sand pushed up before the crowds arrived:

The Malecon construction was almost completed on the sea side of the street, making a smooth new walkway for visitors.

Security cameras were also installed on top of the Beachcomber to keep an eye on the Malecon.

The crowds started to arrive already on Wednesday…

and then the downtown area was packed, with festivities springing up on the Malecon and a filled beach.

Police were out in full force making sure that everyone was abiding by the rules and driving safely.

On Sunday the crowds started to head home after a weekend of sunny fun in San Felipe. Now our small town is back to being peaceful and quiet…

Sorry for the long break in postings, but new photos are back for the beginning of Spring in the Baja!  So far San Felipe’s been having a great year, with Festivals and Events, especially the San Felipe 250 Race, which was excellent this year:

Motorcyle roars into the Finish Line of the San Felipe 250

Construction on the new Malecon has progressed, with completion nearing in May…

Goodbye to the old phone booths along the Malecon... the cell phone age is here!

Weather is warming up and soon we’ll all be either in the ocean, in a pool, or in the shade with a cold cerveza…

The season is coming to hit the beach!

and the El Dorado water volleyball teams are already hard at work!

Just make sure you wear your sunscreen and a hat…

The ideal hat...

Get ready to have a great Baja Spring everybody!
