El Camino Real de las Misioneros de las Californias / The Royal Road of the Missionaries of the Californias
Many years ago, the land called California stretched from the Oregon Border in the north to the tip of the Baja peninsula. Missions were built throughout this region. Twenty-seven missions were built along the Baja California peninsula between 1697 and 1854 by members of three Catholic religious Orders. Alta California missions are located here.
Each Baja California, Mexico mission in the KMZ contains ... (1) placemark in chronological order; (2) overlay map; (3) image; (4) historical info; (5) website link for more information. [color%

Thanks Lou. And welcome to the GE forum! For all us Baja Nomad forum types, you're goinf to find this BBS an awesome place! Most of Baja is covered by high-resolution like never before. Only since mid-2006. I've got many placemarks here. You can actually count cars & RV's in remote places like Catavina. Have fun exploring.

En el año de 2004 recibimos del sr. Jack Swords la donación de fotografías de las misiones de Baja California y elaboramos un contenido que ha estado publicado desde entonces en la siguiente dirección:
Ruta de las misiones de Baja California
Esta donación fue motivada por el trabajo del Gobierno de Baja California Sur sobre el mismo tema, que tenemos publicado desde 2003 en la dirección siguiente:
Ruta de las misiones (Baja California Sur)
