Rare oskidunker Posted May 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2015 We took a wonderful ships tour to San Javier Mission. Great views of the desert and the town is very quaint. The mission was built in the 1700's. We saw the farming that is still going on,including orange trees,green onions and corn. Also a 300 year old olive tree. Lunch was at the only place in town and was very good. One of my favorite tours of the cruise on Star Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted May 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Great port. Twice now we've gone into the old town and found music in the plaza by the city hall. Four men with guitars and singing, and dancing by young people. The dancing was around 11:00, and the guitars before and after. There are chairs available there. For those of us who no longer walk well, there are taxis for $5 each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite tours of the cruise on Star Princess I am really looking forward to this port. Is there really only one restaurant? We arrive early and we were hoping to have breakfast in town before our excursion. Are we better off eating on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of places to eat in Loreto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted July 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2015 We had a very good meal at El Rey del Taco on Benito Juarez and then La Michoacana Ice Cream on Fco. I Madero. La Michoacana is a Mexican ice cream chain. We like the pineapple and lime paletas (Popsicles) and helados (ice cream). The guanabana and key lime pie helados are very good. This store also has liquados. The Horchata (rice pudding flavored drink) is excellent. If you want to spend some $$ check out Fonda Capinole, behind the church's bell. Cooked over an open fire. Some of the best mole and frijoles I've tasted. We've tried Orlando's. Very decent gringo Mexican food. Check both out on Trip Advisor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baymenow Posted August 3, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2015 We spend the day at the Loreto Bay Golf Resort in Loreto - took a cab out there from the cruise ship. AMAZING! Very quiet, lovely pool, clean beach with palapas and chairs. Rented kayaks just a ways down the beach. Food at the restaurant there was amazing, best fish tacos we have ever had. Well worth a visit if you want a nice relaxing day at a great spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Be on the lookout for Blue Footed Boobies. Loreto is at the northern end of their range. We seen several by the seal statue on the breakwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
