General Overview

I have lived and visited elsewhere in Mexico but La Paz has captured my heart. Unlike its more touristy neighbor to the south (Cabo San Lucas), La Paz feels Mexican but with a unique sense of calm. It’s not loud and bustling like Mexico City, but it doesn’t feel rural either. It’s alive with street art, color, sunsets, gentle waves, and kind people. The Baja landscapes of saguaro and turquoise waters are all around but you might just opt to relax by the plunge pool on a warm night or go for a stroll on the malecón. Depending on the season you can swim with whale sharks, watch the humpbacks breach, go snorkeling, fish for dorado, release turtle hatchlings, go kite surfing, or simply enjoy the numerous beaches. If you like ceviche or fish tacos, this is your spot. If you don’t, order the molcajete. A day trip I would not miss is Todos Santos. It is one of Mexico’s “Magical Towns”, recognized by the government for its picturesque character. It’s just over an hour away. I stayed overnight on a mango farm and am happy to point you in that direction as well. Balandra beach is mesmerizing - a crescent of white sand against volcanic rock. Its shallow waters seem to stretch on indefinitely. Just up the road is Playa Tecolote, with its kiosks, beachfront bars, and musicians. La Paz has something for everyone. Come find your peace!

The Space

This is what is known as a casita, a small home typically built on the property of a larger residence. However, in my case, there is no larger residence. It’s a simple one bedroom home with a full bathroom, a laundry room, a living room, a kitchen, and a rear patio with plunge pool. There is no house on the lot behind so when you sit on the covered patio by the pool it feels very private.

Neighbourhood

El Centenario is very peaceful and safe. Many expats live here, but many Mexican families do also. It is an upscale neighborhood but the roads remain unpaved. El Comitan is the closest beach where guests walk their dogs and look across the bay at La Paz. There are a few restaurants, a small grocery, and a bakery. El Centenario is built on a hill and the restaurant at the top has a bar, a pool, and lovely views of the water and the city lights at night.

Getting to my home

If you are coming from Los Cabos, you can take a bus, taxi or shuttle. The best option is simply to rent your own vehicle at the airport you fly into.

Nearest airport

La Paz has its own airport, which is calmer and less busy than flying into Los Cabos. However, the Los Cabos (SJD) airport has more frequent flights and they are often cheaper.

Getting Around

Unfortunately you will need to rent a car as El Centenario is 15 minutes outside of downtown La Paz. A car is also useful for visiting nearby beaches such as Balandra and Tecolote. A day or weekend trip to Todos Santos, one of Mexico’s pueblos mágicos is highly recommended also.

It’s me and three little ones. Before kids, I traveled regularly. I am trying to teach them about community and the beauty of talking to strangers.
