Mulegé
Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUL : Mulegé
Mulegé is a town in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It has a population of approximately 3,100. It is perhaps best known outside of Mexico for John Steinbeck's comments in his 1941 journal - "the port charges are miscieveous and ruinous" and "there may be malaria there". Although not much has changed since Steinbeck's time, malaria is in no way present in the area.
There is much to see and do in this sleepy little town, from mountain biking, to scuba diving, kayaking and sunbathing. Being only 650 miles South of the San Diego border also makes this town a very attractive, inexpensive break from the hustle and bustle of the US.
- The Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé was founded here in 1705.
- The Sierra de Guadalupe cave paintings are about 18 miles west of Mulegé near the Rancho La Trinidad. They form part of central Baja's Great Mural Tradition and are an interesting example of rock art.
