Mexico’s arty surf haven
Todos Santos, Mexico, isn’t much more than a “wisp of a town near the south end of the Baja Peninsula,” said Danielle Pergament in The New York Times. The locals would like to keep it that way. In the 19th century, Todos Santos was the sugar capital of Baja. A century later, the “sleepy little village” attracted the attention of American painter and sculptor Charles C. Stewart, who helped turn it into an artists’ colony. Today, Todos Santos is what Cabo San Lucas was 20 years ago, before it became a “beach full of monster resorts and souvenir shops.” Just 50 miles north of Cabo, this stretch of “unspoiled Mexico” is like a “miniature, seaside Santa Fe.” Spend the day riding the waves at Playa Ceritos. Then, when the sun goes down, dive into a plate of the “best fish tacos this side of anywhere” at Taqueria El Parguito. Contact: Todossantos.cc
