Trivia

 * The name "Grande Senora" means "big lady" in Spanish, referring to the dimension of the desert.
 * Despite its name, the desert's area is not that large, only being some arid lands around Sandy Shores.
 * In the beta version of Grand Theft Auto V, the Grand Senora Desert was much bigger.
 * There are signs on hiking paths with the name of the desert incorrectly spelled "SENOEA Desert". This was likely a typo as "R" is next to "E" on a QWERTY keyboard.
