Hola from Banámichi.
The monsoons are here, bringing higher humidity and thunderstorms. Everything is green and growing and the Sonora Desert is starting to bloom. Some of our storms (las tormentas) have provided spectacular lightning shows and another spectacular show is on tap for August 12th when the Perseid Meteor showers will make their annual appearance. The moon will set early this year and given clear skies, Banámichi will afford a great place to watch. Reserve your spot on the terrace now. Almost like clockwork, in mid September, the monsoons end and the weather changes. Dry days with blue skies and cool, clear nights return.
September also brings two important celebrations to Banámichi. September 8th is Dia de Nuestra Señora de Loreto. Since La Señora is the patron of the church in town, this is an important celebration. September 16th marks the Bicentennial of Mexico's independence from Spain in 1810. Early in the morning of September 15th, the "Desfile del Gallo" (Parade of the Rooster) will commence with fireworks about 4 am. Everyone in town (well, maybe not Lynn) will march through the predawn streets to celebrate the "Grito de Dolores" (the Cry of Dolores") to commemorate Miguel Hildalgo's call for independence to his countrymen. After the parade, all will gather at the main plaza for free coffee, menudo and sweet rolls. The night of the 15th will mark the start of the fiesta in Banámichi, with music, dancing, food booths and more at the main plaza. On September 16th, the town will turn out for the big parade at 9 am. Cultural events, baile folklorico (folk dancers), and food will follow the parade. Music and dancing will continue in the park each night through Saturday. At 1 pm, Saturday, horse races will be held at the quarter horse track.
There will be plenty of great food at the park. Carne asada tacos, tamales, tortas. The other restaurants in town will have their always tasty offerings. Pictured below is Martin Romero of the Taqueria Romero. Martin specializes in carne asada tacos cooked over a mesquite fire. The taste of mesquite roasted Sonoran beef with all the fixings will make you want more. The Taqueria is open every night from 6:30 to 11:00 pm daily.
Let Hotel Los Arcos de Sonora be your base to enjoy the fiestas and to explore and discover the enchantment of Banámichi and the Rio Sonora. Our beautifully landscaped patio and ten individually decorated rooms provide a serene refuge from the cares of modern life and a gourmet breakfast is included in your stay. Gourmet coffee is available all day. Call and make your reservations now and take advantage of our Bicentennial "Stay two, get the third free" offer for the month of September. (Some restrictions apply.)
Be sure to take a look at the article about Hotel Los Arcos at mexicoguru.com and spend some time on their interesting and fun web site. It's a great site to study up on your Mexican slang.
