Todos Santos is a gem. One of the few places we would revisit. In the morning, before breakfast, we decided to check out the fastest way to get to he beach. It goes over the hill and straight down to the beach, but unfortunately, you can hardly see the pathway, the slope is rocky and full of cacti and there are no signs so we decided to turn back. After breakfast, we took the longer trail to the beach. On the way. we visited the 5 star hotel close to the beach owned by a Swiss couple. OK but our casita is just as nice. We walked on the beach, which was completely empty except for one man who told us he was a transplant from San Diego, and a group of horse back riders, which included a young family (parents and two little boys) from Boston who are also staying at Los Colibris. The waves are immense and rip tides very strong; there are warning signs that it dangerous to swim. There is a swimming and surfing beach down the road about 8 miles called Cerritos beach. Then, we drove into town and explored neighborhoods in more remote areas, outside the historical center. These large outlying areas have big, gorgeous new homes close to the ocean and also into the desert. Most are on dirt roads. In between these opulent homes, we saw many agricultural areas with fields of peppers, onions, corn. No wonder food tastes so good here. It’s all locally grown. Back to the center for a late lunch of fish tacos in a blue shack called Mariscos Sinaloense. We ordered one taco each, but they were so good that we had to get another. Then a walking tour of the historical district provided by Sergio, the owner of our hotel. We got a real education of the history of Baja California. After the tour, we had great margaritas and mojitos and went to dinner to another highly recommended place called La Casita. It was a very good 4 star food, but not nearly as amazing as last night
