Dan Diego 40 Posted May 23, 2015 With the Baja races taking place soon, there have been some photos of the pre-running. Saw these nice shots of La Rumorosa. Good stuff. La Rumorosa is a town in the administrative area of Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. It lies on the highest point on the road between Mexicali and Tecate. It is directly across the international border from Jacumba Hot Springs, California. However, no official border crossing exists, the nearest official crossing is in Tecate. The La Rumorosa area contains Native American cave paintings which are the primary tourist draw. Just thought they were cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
