The South of Baja, Mexico

La Paz is in my heart. Proudly native of this beautiful city in the south of the Baja, I write these lines to make mention of some things that are so dear in the daily life in La Paz, and maybe that way, you’re encouraged to come and take a walk around this world famous "Port of Illusion."

More to the point and to avoid tedious reading, I decided to make a list of keywords that come to mind when I think of La Paz. In advance, I offer an apology if my list does not match the one that perhaps you, dear reader, if you have the fortune to meet the Lower South, have in mind when you think of this wonderful place. This is only a snapshot of the huge spectrum of things you can do in the Baja. Here we go:

1. Whales. What comes to your mind when you read that word? A container filled with a delicious refreshing drink very typical in any Sunday at the beach? Or, the largest mammal in the world you can watch in a day of fishing?. Either, you can experience them here.

2. The “Malecón”. Here you have no choice, if you haven’t taken a walk along the boardwalk of La Paz in the evening, you miss a great ride. Numerous local bars, restaurants, coffee shops, souvenirs, you can find everything if you give that ride. So if you have the fortune to be in La Paz, go run and wear a short, flip flops and as we say over there, go on and take a "role."

3. The beach. No matter wich one you go to, the beaches on the Baja cause the envy of even the most sophisticated international tourists and coastal compatriots. Whatever you like todo on the beach, here we have it: Camping, diving, fishing, swimming, or if you just want to get a tan, here you have the perfect beaches for do it all.

4. Seafood tacos. Is somewhat arbitrary to mention a particular business having such good seafood taco stands, but on the boardwalk there are several worth mentioning (Bismarkcito, la Carreta, etc.), Where you can enjoy different seafood tacos, local music, a nice cold beer and magnificent views. You can’t...
