Been down the Baja peninsula a LOT....in the Catavina area there is Rancho
Santa Inez, better than the El Presidente hotels, by far.   Rancho Santa
Inez has been in the same family for many years and was a traditional
stopping point before there was a paved road in that part of Baja...There
is a dry lake bed and camping, with showers and a restaurant.   This nicer,
safer quieter spot to overnight is a few mile south of Catavina....
   Don't expect good food along the highway in Baja....Baja roadside cafes
kinda suck.   "Dried Manta ray wing tacos?"  sure....if you like em....
