Coming down this week? Please don’t forget about the people who make it so much fun to visit this hospitable resort town. Bring some extra non-perishable food items with you this trip and it will be graciously accepted from you at any Sonoran Resorts Sale Offices including the Sea, Spa, Sun or Sky, or at the Tourist and Visitor Assistance Office downtown on the 2nd floor of the blue Tequila Factory building…
For the second year Sonoran Resorts are encouraging everyone to donate whatever non-perishable foods you can spare or choose to donate to be distributed to the many families in Puerto Peñasco who have been affected by the devastating crash of the tourism-based economy here over the last several years…
The spirituality of Pinacate, the desert and the sea converge in Rocky Point. Meet one who has walked this area for centuries….

Results from the scores of ten judges made after a blind reading of the 26 stories that qualified for the finals are now in and tabulated. The competition was as close as we thought it would be, with only a few points differentiating the second through fifth highest scoring stories.

Living in a tropical area on the sea as we do here in Puerto Peñasco, the hobby of birding can become quite addictive. That’s because out of the nearly 10,000 species of birds on the planet; nearly 10% are endemic to Mexico.
