We started by driving south. First stop was Rancho Pescaderos. On the ocean side was a large hotel (probably 5 star) with beautiful grounds. But in the middle of nowhere. Wouldn’t want to stay there. Lots of agriculture around. We drove through fields of pepper and basil (most driving here is on dirt roads). We stopped at a tiny shack advertising fresh eggs and “pan dulce” (pastries). They were baking these pastries in wood fired oven. Lots of smoke got in our eyes but pastry was good. Then we drove further south towards Cerritos beach, the only local beach that is good for swimming. It wasn’t well marked at all– we had to make 3 or 4 U turns to find it. All these places are on dirt roads. It was a nice beach (with swimming and surfing) and a couple of OK hotels. On the way back to Todos Santos we drove through the village of Pescadero. The most impressive part was that it had more paved streets than Todos Santos. We got back in time for lunch and we had carnitas burritos in a shack called Tacos Uruapan. Very different from what we are used to. We took the rest of the afternoon relaxing on our rooftop terrace. Then back to town to visit more galleries and dinner. We went back to the same restaurant we ate on Monday (Café Santa Fe) and had the same dishes. The snook was great and it is not available in US. The yellow tail was also excellent. We are now sitting on our rooftop terrace enjoying the brandy we bought in town and the post-sunset view. We got a visit from a couple of Los Colibris dogs. They have 5 dogs here (all big and very friendly) and 5 or 6 cats. Pictures and names of all the dogs and cats are included in the room package.
