Beautiful stories of Baja

The most beautiful stories are often shy. It happens that they are so obviously visible, that you look at them, but don’t really see them. If you don’t pay attention, if you don’t dream about the beauty, if your look is not as calm as the sky, they might slip away from you.

This time we slowed down our tempo and spent a beautiful day (actually two) at El Rincon, private premier residential ocean view community in Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas. We fell in love with the home and the view. Whales have been passing by, ocean breezes have been playing with our hair, while Chase and Paola were playing at the 3rd floor and gold retriever Luke enjoyed sunny day at the terrace. The time seemed to have stopped.

Followed by the wind and water, we found another hideaway on the mere south of the peninsula, in Los Barriles. Our hosts moved to this small vivid town from cold and beautiful Alaska, exchanging their winter lifestyle for morning walks by the ocean, kite surfing, hiking, pleasant clima, great positive energy and so much more. They set up their home by feng shui rules, very intuitive and with common sense. Ocean front home embraces you with energetic colors and furniture brought from many winds of the world, on the inside; and lush gardens and inviting outdoor area on the outside. When you enter their home, you feel like at home indeed.

Do you like silver too? We explored for you about its history, which made small village of El Triunfo become briefly a capital of Baja California Sur in years 1828 and 1829. In our guest columns you can learn about contemporary urban spaces and real estate market, and seek your home in our real estate guide, covering whole Baja Sur area.

Together with the growth of pages of the magazine our Gourmet section is growing, too. We are introducing Restaurant Guide with selected restaurants from Baja, and our Chef of the issue Fernando G. Soeda Takeuchi is welcoming you to taste food from 7 asian countries. Meet Connie Worth, a Canadian who exchanged her hockey spirits for the beauties of this land. And the last but not least, meet top 10 winners of ESCAPES photo contest “Escapes in Baja”! Dear readers, your response was great, and the photographs we received are even more amazing, each telling its own story. Thank you for dreaming, seeing the beauty of Baja and sharing your beautiful stories with us.
