Hwy 1 closure in Baja near San Quintin
FYI - Anyone traveling the Baja, there is a road closure due to protesters. Here is a post from someone via La Paz Gringos and below that a clicky to the news article.
My brother in law drove up from La Paz and arrived to San Diego last night. Protesters would not allow him to drive thru San Quintin. After waiting for a while someone told him he could take dirt roads to get around the town. He left the protest areas with a broken camper window from people throwing rocks at his truck. He did manage to drive around via dirts roads which delayed his trip for 3 hours or so, he also had to tip to a local rancher who told him where exactly to turn to get back on the main road.
According to the news this morning, there are more than 10 barricades along that stretch of the peninsular highway 1.
I heard on the local news (San Diego) that they are also blocking access to La Bufadora. Mayor cruise lines that arrive to the port of Ensenada have already stopped offering tours to that location.
Here's this mornings article on that issue on the Sol de Tijuana newspaper: clicky (in Spanish, use google translate)
