Perhaps this article should be discovering paradise because my friend Barbara certainly was a pioneer (well by Peñasco standards anyway). She came to go fishing in 1964 and stayed at the old Playa Hermosa, which was water front long before big hotels and condos. She drove out to see an area called Las Conchas and there was a trailer set up there leasing lots. She bought 5 leases before there was anything there and before Mexico had the Fideicomiso process. At first they camped on the lot and then eventually built a house on one of the lots and sold the others. I’ll not tell you what she paid because, after all, it isn’t 1964 anymore.
