Today we have a short drive past the Bay of Concepcion and continuing to Mulege, another date palm oasis. The name Mulege is derived from the Cochimi language meaning “Large ravine of the white mouth.” In 1705 a mission was established which they christened Santa Rosalia de Mulege. The beautiful stone building that replaced the original still stands overlooking the river. The Goy’s dogs Jitterbug and Lulu both came from Mulege. Jitterbug was rescued from the Mulege garbage dump and we adopted Lulu from the Hotel Serenidad parking lot.
Our time in Mulege includes an excursion to town for a walk about town and shopping in a vast array of shops. The Hotel Serenidad is famous for their Saturday Night Pig Roast and has been a tradition for over 30 years. The evening includes one margarita, roast pork dinner, and often entertainment for about $20 USD per person (if you choose), this is a fun evening!
