Todos Santos is a place that, on its own merits, achieved recognition as a Magical Town in 2006, being the first place in Southern California to achieve this; Loreto, the other Magical Town in Baja California Sur, obtained it in 2012.
Todos Santos has a lot to offer, being an amalgam of cultures, this is because it is a magnet for foreign people, especially from the United States and various parts of Mexico, to make this Magical Town their home, either permanently or to vacation and spend long periods.
This mix makes Todos Santos unique, if we add to that the bohemian air with a beach flavor, its small galleries and first-class restaurants, it is a place to visit and discover.
What to do in Todos Santos?
From the start, its almost virgin beaches are a great pleasure, although you have to bring chairs and even a cooler to most of them. You also have to take into account that in some of them the waves are quite strong, the surfers of course don’t see any problem with that. Punta Lobos and La Cachora are some of the ones you can visit
Getting to know the Hotel California
Taking a selfie in this place is something that no one forgives. What makes this hotel attractive is that for a long time it was thought and the rumor spread that this place was the inspiration for the group The Eagles of the very famous song Hotel California, which is really not true and at one point there was even a lawsuit by the group to the hotel, however, this apparently increased the fame of the place.
Kiss me a lot!
If you go as a couple, the best place to take a photo is on the bench next to the Bésame mucho bazaar, because both on the bench and behind it there are huge lips which are the perfect setting for lovers. Also, a few steps away there is a gate where couples can place padlocks to seal their love, a tradition not exclusive to Todos Santos but which never hurts, some people call this place the kissing plaza.
Other activities and attractions of the Magical Town of Todos Santos are the release of turtles, this only during the spawning season, as well as the Mango Festival in the month of August
Art Festival in the month of February
Patron Saint Festival, the 12th is the day of the biggest party.
Film Festival, this varies in date but is usually in the month of November
These are just some of the attractions of Todos Santos, but it always has something to offer, because its beaches are often the stage for concerts of various music genres. By the way, Todos Santos is located 50 minutes away from La Paz, the municipality to which it belongs, in Baja California Sur.
