It's not Spanish for "gorgeous beaches" -- but maybe it should be.

Miramar, an exclusive residential section on a quiet inlet between the town of Guaymas and San Carlos.  All a short drive from desert-dry Hermosillo.  Nothing like having your own private bay to play in...

For generations in Guaymas and other Mexican seaports, men have been going out to fish in small skiffs called pangas. A fair number of them never returned, which is why this statue stands near the city center, overlooking the harbor.  Meanwhile, men are still going down to the sea in pangas.
