Turn Left at the Cactus
Listen in as we chat with residents of the San Felipe, Baja, Mexico area about why they came here, why they stay (or, return as snowbirds), and things which they feel should be better known about our area. Their recommendations range from interesting places, people, or objects to stories, experiences, or ideas. In the process, we also get to know a little bit more about local businesses, organizations, noteworthy events, and some useful and useless information. Please subscribe and follow us on Face Book.
