Todos Santos

We were fortunate to be able to babysit our friend Larry's pickup while he was back in the U.S.

Todos Santos is a small community on the Pacific coast of the Baja Sur peninsula, about an hour’s drive southwest from La Paz, and about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. We spent one day wandering around and checking out several of the nice shops and galleries around town.

Promoted as a an artists colony, there are quite a few tourists around and a wide variety of merchanise to see and buy, from fine arts to souvenirs. Not needing much of anything, we mostly looked but bought a few things at two specialty markets – a very interesting produce shop with most items in glass cases (to keep things cool in the hot climate), and a vendor of smoked meats (good turkey, pork, bacon).

Lots of cute little inns and restaurants. We found a lovely place with a nice outdoor patio to have lunch – compared to the bargains we find in La Paz but it was decent food and service.
