Mulege Attractions

The next place of any size after the Caves of San Borjita is the little town of Mulegé (population 5,000), on the Gulf of California, with the Jesuit mission of Santa Rosalía de Mulegé (1705). This is a copy of the Cananea Prison (Sonora) which has neither bars nor locked doors and which was made famous in folk-songs and street-ballads. There is a lovely walk along the river through the groves of date palms. The town also has several beaches and opportunities for fishing and boating.
