Pension California was a convent in the 18th century. It is located in the old town, minutes from the malecon in

Our bedroom is huge, with 4 beds and a private bath, for 25 USD a night. This is what we like.
The outdoors common kitchen has all we need to cook.

We thought that this ferry was very nice. The cabins are bigger and there is a lounge deck on top, compared to the Topolobampo ferry. We saw a whale go by.
