Downpour In Los Barriles this Weekend

It poured this weekend in Los Barriles almost everyone stayed home and there was no much activity in town. the two arroyos flowed magnifientely, it was quite a majestic sight watching the controled flow of the water into the ocean.

Because it is desert flora, just one major rain makes all the difference, which allows one to truly see and appreciate the natural beauty of the property. It is nature at its finest. Come see Colina del Sol for yourself, and get a sense of what it is like to dwell in the soul of Baja.

Colina del Sol - A Green, Eco-Friendly Development

Colina del Sol Los Barriles is part of the ecologically-conscious movement. Within each lot in the development, 60% remains intact with the other 40% to be used for building. This is done to protect the natural beauty of Baja California Sur, which is our main focus. Any displaced vegetation within the 40% allowed for building will be transplanted, housed and nurtured in our nursery. We are also cultivating our own supply of palo de arco trees, which will be used to provide Colina del Sol with palo de arco for palapas, fences, door accents, and other decorative purposes. Instead of using septic tanks, we have installed an underground treatment plant to treat all sewage; the gray water processed will be stored in one of our two water tanks and will be used for irrigation. The other water tank right beside it will store the fresh water from our own well. In the spirit of conserving water, we will be using artificial turf in our putting green located in the community center; once more people have moved into Colina del Sol, we will replace the artifical turf with real grass which will be irrigated with the gray water. Concrete light fixtures have been installed thoughout and will generate low-intensity lighting to allow for a full appreciation of the beautiful nighttime skies in Los Barriles, where the star constellations and full moons are unparalleled and at their brightest. Become a part of this East Cape community in Colina del Sol Los Barriles, and dwell in the soul of Baja.
