On the 28th Parallel (dividing the old state of Baja California from the new state of Baja California Sur) sits Guerrero Negro, a rather bleak spot on the Pacific mainly concerned with salt production in the ponds boruering Scammon's Lagoon. You can't miss it because as you approach from the north you'll see two massive fins sticking up into the sky Monumento Azteca, a seven story high abstract study in steel that is the focal point of the stadium where President Echeverria dedicated the highway. Across the street are an El Presidente and a parador.
From November through February hundreds of California gray whales head for Scammon's Lagoon to breed and train their young. Right after them come the tourists. For whale watching, follow signs that take you to the best viewing spots; carry binoculars, and go early in the morning.
