That translates to Sea Lion Sanctuary. They call them Sea Wolves here. We knew the exact KM marker we needed, but we still passed it and had to back track. This is the only sign, with half a letter missing. Also it was a dirt road all the way!

This was our first view of the Sanctuary. There was nobody official there, so we didn't go in, nobody else was and we tried to do what the natives did.

Image

The sea cave. The tide was in, and also we think this must be the wrong season for Sea Lions, although we didn't know there were seasons. When we were at the Harbor in Ensenada there were none there either, and its supposed to be famous for its Sea Lions.

Image

There were a couple of Lions there, but I can imagine at the right time this cave is just filled with them

Image

The scenery was absolutely spectacular. In America this would all be devolped with million dollar homes.

When we left there we went to El Rosario to Mama Espinoza's for her famous Lobster Burrito's. Luckily we decided to share a plate. There were three of them, well filled with sweet succulant Lobster. I could barely finish my one and a half. It cost 200 pesos for one order, about $16.00. Lobster is never cheap, but this was a treat that we will give ourselves again...and maybe again?

Beautiful beach shots! Love the more craggy looking bluffs vs. just beaches of flat sand.
The meal looked delicious!

Food looks good!
There was a news report a week or so ago talking about how recently most of the the sea lions had disappeared from somewhere on the California coast and they were puzzling over what could have happened.
Keep having a great time, I love looking at the beaches especially since it's 15 degrees here and will be zero or below with the wind chill tonight!

Gorgeous coastal views. That's not a bad price for lobster...I'd be treating myself too.
