Stay in our friends' bed and breakfasts in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico and Tucson, Arizona, USA.

In the colonial silver mining town of Alamos, Sonora, Mexico, Teri Arnold Shannon's La Puerta Roja Inn bed and breakfast occupies one of the historic homes in Alamos. Once the wealthiest town in the region, one of the original stops on the Camino Real, the Spanish Andalusian architecture and cobblestone streets make this quiet town seem suspended in a more elegant time.
