In our last trip to Loreto we stayed at a house in Nopolo. This is the same neighborhood where the Loreto Bay development is located. While walking one afternoon, I saw a few horses and cows just walking around Nopolo - here's one of the pictures I took:
I was told that some cattle owners just let their horses and cows roam free. As the town grows this will change, but now it's great to see these gentle animals walking around the beautiful streets of Nopolo.
