BCR hosts--Becky and Alan--had been to Cabo, St Lucas at the tip of the Baja Peninsula and loved the beaches, food and tequila -- but we yearned for something less touristy -- less honky-tonk and richie-rich. We had visited Todos Santos up the coast on the Pacific side of Baja and decided that we would vacation in this sleepy Mexican village. Becky found a spacious, airy room at Villa La Mar, nestled on the side of a hill facing the Pacific Ocean. The ride from Highway 19 was a bit rough over rutted dirt roads -- but we got used to it -- and our room was down a series of stone steps that seemed to be cut into the side of the landscape.
We fell in love with our space -- a pool three steps up from our patio was continuously inviting and the service was friendly but never intrusive. For much of the week we had the Villa to ourselves.
Though we were on vacation we could not pass up the opportunity of talking to the designer of Villa La Mar -- Miguel Ochoa-- and on the way to the interview we stopped at a local fish taco stand and grabbed a quick conversation with its owner -- Pepe Sosa.
Pepe and Miguel speak about living in this small art community and what they think about the U.S. - Mexico relations under Trump.
