Many visitors to Baja dream of moving here, and perhaps, starting a business or boutique hotel. In this issue, we’ve selected some of the most desirable dream properties currently available: Soledad Cerritos, Gavilan Beach and The Osprey in Pescadero; Boulder Cove in La Paz; The Todos Santos Inn and Hacienda Sydney aka the ‘Taj Mahal’ in Todos Santos; and La Huerta in San Juanico. We hope that you enjoy reading more about these exciting opportunities in our current issue, and maybe, your dream will become a reality.

Newly opened in Todos Santos, Gallo Azul Lofts, are four loft-style, one-bedroom apartments with modern kitchens, dining, and living spaces. They are conveniently located next door to the Gallo Azul restaurant, just one block up from the park. They are perfect for a vacation rental, long or short-term stay.

Baja Beans, in Pescadero, has extended their hours and are now open 7 am to 6 pm all year, serving breakfast and lunch.

Escape the heat with a day at the pool at La Misión at Hacienda Cerritos. The one-day 900 pesos pass is refundable with your restaurant and bar purchases, and the pool is open from 12 to 8 pm daily.

Shaka’s Cantina and Gallery is open on the road to Cerritos with happy hour and delicious daily food specials.

Unfortunately, summer weather can mean pests. Let the people at Jal Fumigación help control these unwanted visitors in your home.

Stop into Como El Sol in Pescadero for all your solar energy needs. They can help you out with panels, inverters, controllers, batteries, refrigerators, freezers, fans, lights and more!

Todos Santos Brewing tapsTODOS SANTOS BREWING’S 1st ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

by Jen Crandall

Image may contain: textA year ago, in June, Liz and Ted Mitchell opened the doors of Todos Santos Brewing and since then have shared a lifetime of beer, laughs, and memories with locals and visitors alike! After starting off strong on their opening day–serving the amount of beer they had planned for the month in the first three hours–they’ve made and served over 12,000 liters of beer. This is a remarkable feat considering they run a single-beer barrel system, meaning they brew 100 liters at a time. They’ve sold over 300 growlers to date, so guests can take their favorite beers to enjoy at home.

Todos Santos Brewing regularly has fifteen small-batch brews to choose from, plus four non-alcoholic beverages, and three rotational or guest taps. They are predominantly an “ale” house with varieties from Summer and Blonde Ales to Brown and India Pale Ales. Not to mention their gluten-free alcoholic ginger beer.

A few months in, they opened their kitchen offering a menu of gastro pub food, with the specialty being gourmet hamburgers (and many other delicious dishes). Their fabulous chef, Erick, came over from the mainland to showcase his fusion of traditional Mexican fare with “gastropub” food–he’s now offering a weekly special–find out more on their Facebook page!

Liz and Ted are proud to have participated in several competitions this past year and came away with awards for their Dizzee Lizzee Summer Ale at the Copa Cerveza; and for the Gaslamp IPA, Dizzee Lizzee and Brown Owl Brown Ale at the Baja Sur State competition.

The friendly staff is very focused on creating a sociable environment for all their guests and friends. They feature fun weekly events such as Friday Night Trivia and the Sunday Sessions live music showcasing talented local musicians. And they’ve newly started “The Brewer Talks” sessions every Saturday for those who want to know more about their beers and brewery.

Liz and Ted add, “We’re so grateful for the warm welcome we received from the very start and love the support we continue to get from our local community here in Todos Santos. Come for the beer, stay for the experience!”
