When you get to Morelia, go to your right as you come up to the top of the little hill by the fairgrounds, it is the easiest way, then just follow the signs.<br />Have fun!Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-55422159563602326762009-10-20T21:34:19.321-05:002009-10-20T21:34:19.321-05:00There are two, the first one is on the entrance to...There are two, the first one is on the entrance to town on the right, close after the Pemex on the left. It is EL Pozo, it has about 20 spaces that you will probably need to back into or if no one else is there, pull in. If you plan to go to lots of cemeteries it is good because it is out of the traffic problems in town. It also is on a large lawn and is in the open towards the lake. It would be my first choice because of better access. Theres an OXOX store within walking distance. Also the propane distributor is .25km away.<br />The second one is going to be one block off one of the main drags, so it will be a little quieter than EL Pozo.<br />Hope that helps.<br />The second one is about 2 km up the road into town on the left past the glorietta. It has tighter spaces andTanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-1575025860476968882009-10-20T20:33:04.175-05:002009-10-20T20:33:04.175-05:00hi everyone.....leaving SMA for patzcuaro....with ...hi everyone.....leaving SMA for patzcuaro....with 26 foot travel trailer....and wondered if anyone could advise the best route to get to you......the roads look good on the map....but just want to make sure...also any comment on the best trailer park? i found two on line....but would appreciate a word from someone who is there and might know the best one....thank paulamontanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916967256298071405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-37938245751518632442009-10-20T20:14:03.770-05:002009-10-20T20:14:03.770-05:00And Don Cuevas, I figured you would get your buns ...And Don Cuevas, I figured you would get your buns into the picture somehow.....Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-86664152157010400042009-10-20T20:12:52.754-05:002009-10-20T20:12:52.754-05:00Yes I know there are spaces 3 or 4 blocks away som...Yes I know there are spaces 3 or 4 blocks away somewhere, but usually they are for small cars and not the pickup I would be driving.<br />Now I should be lucky, the small Tracker will fit in places I use to pass....<br />And I don't do well toting bags of Mercado purchases more than a block or two.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-7535046561270687962009-10-20T19:19:24.825-05:002009-10-20T19:19:24.825-05:00Back in the Arkansas Ozarks town where I had a bak...Back in the Arkansas Ozarks town where I had a bakery for a number of years, there are two major and several minor fiestas each year. The really big one takes place during the last days of October. The small and generally quiet (pop ~2500) town of Mountain View fills up with tourists and the Plaza (Courthouse Square) is packed with junk food stands. There was pickin' 'n grinnin' all around, from breakfast to the wee hours.<br /><br />I almost never had time to enjoy any of that, as I was working my buns off, up to 14 hours on one festival day. (Could have been 17 hours.) I had to. I kneaded the dough.<br />(You may groan now.)<br /><br />Saludos,<br /> Don Cuevas<br /><br />PS: After we moved into town from out in the "sticks", I'd leave my vehicle parked at home and walked the 7 blocks to work at midnight.)Don Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-62063779870365100252009-10-20T18:24:56.537-05:002009-10-20T18:24:56.537-05:00In order nine years of living in Pátzcuaro, I have...In order nine years of living in Pátzcuaro, I have never parked in a parking lot.
