<I should have cut and pasted the part about Todos Santos as The Week magazine has changed the status of the story from free to all to viewable only to paid subscribers. Sorry about that, I won’t make the same mistake again. I’ll leave this post active in case they change the article status in the future.>
Todos Santos is getting a lot of good press this year. Why? Maybe because Baja Sur is one of the safest travel destinations around, especially in Mexico. The Week magazine has a short travel story and it includes a hefty paragraph about Todos Santos. Read it at the link below:

Baja California’s sleepy beauty
The Mexican town of Todos Santos is not a place to go seeking an action-packed holiday, said Christopher Reynolds in the Los Angeles Times. Unlike Cabo San Lucas, a former fishing village to the south that’s been transformed into a “raucous” tourist retreat, this 18th-century Baja mission town “is still drowsy at most hours.” But if what you’re after is “desert vistas, fresh food, and a seriously slow” getaway, this oasis wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains “might be your place.” When not enjoying the empty beaches—many of which are “assaulted by waves so wicked” that the surfers must proceed with caution—you can buy “fresh catch” from fishermen as they “drag their boats ashore” or sample the chilies, mangoes, and papayas grown nearby. While Cabo may give you the spring break “you won’t remember,” Todos Santos promises a holiday “you’ll never forget.”
