Fire station walked by it last night on the way to a restaurant we havnt tried yet. Mariscos La Palmita which BTW was absolutely fantastic. Nothing fancy, but very clean and COVID conscious. Very reasonable. Imperial Shrimp, Lobster combo plate 2 beers 30.00 US.

There is one that was recommended by the guy I fish with down there. Huachinango. It’s behind Squid Roe. Excellent. They bring out a whole tray of different sauces to try with the Dorado we caught.

I heard the mission bell

Hotel California. It's funny how many people take photos in front of that thinking it's where the Eagles wrote that song. Total Urban Legend.

Not actually the Hotel California. This would be the (site of the) mission at Todos Santos around the corner from HC. Urban legend perhaps, but the Eagles have never confirmed or denied and the town fits very well (dark desert highway, warm smell of colitas, mission bells, the town is an oasis in the desert). Putting up a picture of the actual Hotel California would have been way too easy since there are signs all over it.

Todos Santos is a lovely little town and an easy day trip from Cabo. DW and I drove up there one day just after a (very rare) rain so that everything was blooming in the desert. Really fun day!

I know Don Henley has denied it. The song is about being trapped by the music industry. The hotel is just a metaphor. BTW, there is a place across the street called Tequila Sunrise that has great tacos and some of the best margaritas I've ever had.

The history of how the song came to be written makes it pretty clear. To whatever extent there is a connection to a physical hotel, the hotel would be the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Looks like PB Emerald Bay in the dining/ lookout area. I thought this area should be a deck but some one said that it gets so hot in the summer that having it enclosed was was better.

It is a whole lot warmer than 'standing on a corner in Wimsloh Arizona',even if you are 'a fine sight to see',and there's 'a girl my lord in a flatbed ford, slowing down to take a look.....'
