Sleepy border town

Free internet

NOGALES SANTA CRUZ PUBLIC LIBRARY
To be honest sleepy border town of Nogales was not a very interesting for me but it was on my itinerary. I visited old historic downtown, used free internet in a library and I slept there (in a motel, not in the library :-).

It's a border town located on USA-Mexico border. There is Mexican Nogales across the border you can visit to shop and enjoy delicious Mexican food at reasonable prices. By the way did you know that "Nogales" is the Spanish word for "walnuts"? I didn't know it and I didn't see any walnuts there :-).



MOTEL 6 IN NOGALES

My accommodation

I was so tired that I chose the first accommodation I found in Nogales and it was Motel 6.

Driving around old historic downtown do not miss Sacred Heart Church completed in 1928 - on the right on my picture.

 I've passed through Nogales many times when I've been in southern Arizona. But I never stopped, because it looks like there's not a lot to see there.

 I only saw Nogales from the Mexican side. It's very interesting to read your perspectives from north of the border. Good page.

 I bet the car will get pretty hot under the shade of a Sagaro! Sunscreens inside the car will not really prevent it from getting hot but the steering wheel from burning your hands! Disney stole Cinderella as many other European born characters!

 Found your insights on Nogales quite interesting. It does not seem like a place that I would want to visit, but it is typical of border towns in the USA....only this one seems less violent than some.
