On the map it shows that El Sueco is a town but in fact it is only a gas station and restaurant. Luckliy the owner, Rigo is super cool and let us stay in one of his rooms. He also fed us 14 inch burritos and cold beers. This was a great place to stay after a brutal 60 mile ride into the wind.
Oh, it is called "The Swede" because one of Pancho Villa's soldiers was Swedish and liked this very cold area of the desert because it reminded him of Sweden. I didn't see any blonds though.
