Santa Rosalía. "The road to Santa Rosalía is well traveled and was the first road with some maintenance we had driven on since leaving San Quintín...The city of Santa Rosalía seemed strangely alien in this land of adobe as the buildings are nearly all of wood and built in the French style. As the center of the French-owned copper mining company, 'Boleo,' Santa Rosalía is a modern, industrious little city."

Santa Maria Magdalena Mission ruins. Actually the Dominican visita of San José de Magdalena established in 1774. "We drove a few miles farther west, up the arroyo of Magdalena, and stopped in the larger pueblo of San José de Magdalena. This is a verdant district surrounded by many bounteous citrus groves, descendants of those planted by the padres centuries ago."

Nuestra Señora Guadalupe Mission (Jesuit, 1720). "These ruins are adjacent to the hacienda of the Guadalupe Ranch in what is a cow lot. It is so completely destroyed that only a few foundation stones remain to show its existence. It was apparently small to medium size and probably of adobe."

Mulegé and Santa Rosalia de Mulege Mission (Jesuit, 1705). "This is a large stone building that is well-preserved and maintained. The original church joins a larger newer addition, forming one large building."

Conception Bay and Mission La Purísima Concepción ruins (Jesuit, 1718).
"This mission has completely fallen. It was made of adobe mud mixed with large round stones and not of adobe brick as were most of the adobe missions."
