Where does the story take place?
The shores of the Gulf of California
Nayarit
they arrived home that was very humble
When does the story take place?
They are native Mexicans and their village is on the edge of a Spanish Mexican town.
On the beach a set of blue and white canoes that came from Nayarit were drawn up

Changes in the setting during the story:
The crack of the door to his house, which is made of brush-bundles of straw fastened together to form walls and a roof and a makeshift cradle, a kind of box hanging from the roof of the hut, where his infant son, Coyotito, sleeps
Canoes preserved for generations by a hard shell-like waterproof plaster whose making was a secret of fishing people.
The priest, and the doctor were very kind to Kino and his family
