My morning view from my hammock with the La Posada kitchen in the foreground. October 2016.

Such a great name, and I found the Plaque to be ironic! If there were more sport climbing areas like this there might be more Trad dads hanging up their racks!

Oh so rad!

Resole your shoes, eat some pizza and grab a big gulp of margarita ..all at the base of the crag.

La Posada, one of the places to stay in the Potrero. El Toro is the peak in the background with "El Sendero Luminoso" almost visible.

This local spot on Dr. Mier road just north of the Plaza Municipal has some amazing tacos de barbacoa and cabrito (baby goat) stew. The crew working there called the place Comidas de Mireya y Chano, but it technically has no name or signage outside. #supportlocal #babygoats
