Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bahía de los Ángeles ("Bay of Angels") is a coastal bay on the Sea of Cortez, located along the eastern shore of the Baja California Peninsula in the state of Baja California, Mexico. The town of the same name is located at the east end of Federal Highway 12 about 42 miles (68 km) from the Parador Punta Prieta junction on Federal Highway 1. In 1539 Francisco de Ulloa was the first European to discover the Bahía de los Angeles in what was the last expedition financed by Hernán Cortés. In 1752 a loading dock was built to explore Mission San Borja, and the entire Baja California Peninsula. In 1900 it became an important loading dock to export gold and silver obtained from the mines of Sierra San Borja, San Juan, and Santa Martha. The value of the gold produced by the mine of San Juan is estimated to be about 2 million U.S. dollars.
