❖ Museo de Lola Beltrán
Get a look at objects that once belonged to the queen of Mexican Ranchera music.
The Ranchera music star, born here in 1935, is celebrated in this museum with pictures, documents, and dresses.
❖ Remains of the Old Church
The ruins of the old church make the ideal setting for photography lovers. They are one of El Rosario’s most Instagrammable backdrops.
❖ Parroquia de
Nuestra Señora del Rosario
The church boasts an extraordinary gold-leafed churrigueresque altarpiece.
This church was founded in 1954 to take the place of an old, 18th-century church that was sinking into the ground. Its altarpiece, done in the ornate, churrigueresque style and covered in gold, is magnificent.
❖ Navigate Playas del Caimanero Estuaries
This is where the Baluarte river flows into the Pacific, forming seldom-visited estuaries where sea turtles nest.
These little-visited estuaries, created by the mouth of the Baluarte river, are a nesting site for sea turtles. In the open ocean area, it is easy to spot dolphins from the beach, and you can swim in some areas.
❖ Hang Out on Chametla’s Beaches
The Gulf of California starts here. It is thought that the first expedition led by Hernán Cortés reached this area.
This is the beginning of the Gulf of California. It is also believed that this area—in what is now Sinaloa—is where Hernán Cortés arrived on his first expedition to start his conquest of the region. In addition to climbing the stairs to the lookout point, you can go fishing on a small boat or feast on seafood freshly caught among the trees.
❖ Enjoy its Cuisine and Fresh Seafood
Ask about the catch of the day and try original dishes.
Shrimp, both fresh and cooked, is plentiful in El Rosario. The region’s specialty is pescado zarandeado, a grilled fish served with breaded shrimp, as well as fish wrapped up in foil with octopus and shrimp.
Nearby Laguna del Caimanero produces one of the world’s best yields of estuary shrimp. It is a good idea to ask about the catch of the day, as these options are sometimes not listed on the menu or are seasonal, such as scallops. There are also restaurants serving cuts of meat and colored tamales, made with pieces of corn plant.
