TODOS SANTOS (The Anti-Cabo)
Todos
Santos is a Baja California oasis on the Pacific Ocean approximately
50 miles north of Cabo San LucaS and 50 miles southwest of La Paz in
southern Baja California . Todos Santos is located just south of the
Tropic of Cancer . The climate is delightful with year-round
temperatures in the 70's and 80's . The rainy season , which can be
hot and humid , begins in August and continues through September . The
prevailing Pacific winds cool the land while driving cloud formations
eastward. Normally these conditions would create a very arid
environment . However ,
the 7,000 foot Sierra Laguna mountain-range above Todos Santos
receives abundant rainfall which flows and filters down to Todos
Santos , creating the spectacular oasis that distinguishes the region
. Orchards of mangoes , papayas , and various vegetables flourish
here.
Todos
Santos, Baja cannot be compared to Cabo, Acapulco, or even La Paz. It
is a sleepy little paradise, a charming traditional Mexican town. The
town closes by 10:00 p.m. unless there is a dance or a party, in which
case...who knows. One fiesta the town will stay up for is the Festival
de la Virgin de Pilar, a sort of founder's day on October 12th. The
town is probably most famous for it's artists. You'll find many
prominent artists and their art galleries here in town, sort of a
"Carmel in Baja". There are only two full service bars in
town, and both have a local and tourist clientele. There are several
fine and justifiably famous restaurants. You'll find high-end lodging
as well the less expensive. Believe it or not, there is not a single
condominium on the Baja Pacific Coast between Cabo San Lucas and Todos
Santos.
The
drowsy Mexican town about an hour's drive north of Cabo San Lucas is
home to a growing number of U.S. and Canadian expatriates, the town of
5,000 mixed high-end art galleries and focaccia with unpaved streets
and beaches where pelicans often outnumber surfboards.
