Ok, my wife is a james Bond nut and she read the article regarding the newest Bond film being filmed in San Felipe.

She is wondering if anyone knows where they filmed and if anyone saw Daniel Craig during the filiming.

BOND in MEXICO
With spectacular mid-air gunfights and aerial views over the wild desert landscapes and sparkling Sea of Cortés, Baja California was the other Latin American setting for the film. Most of the scenes were allegedly shot (from the air) around the small costal town called San Felipe, located around 2 hours from Mexicali, with sweeping views of the surrounding sierras and ocean.

A far cry from the all-inclusive beach hotels and golf resorts of Los Cabos (on Baja’s southern tip), the virtually undeveloped Sea of Cortés coast is a beautiful, arid wilderness boasting a wide variety of desert flora, pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water, home to abundant marine wildlife from rays and sealions, to whales and dolphins. Hidden away near Loreto and La Paz, are a few boutique beach hotels, desert canyons and uninhabited islands ideal for outdoor activities including hiking and sea kayaking.

* Visit the set: Journey Latin America launches a new “Bond in Baja” itinerary in Mexico, including 3 nights sea kayaking in the Sea of Cortés, 3 nights at a luxury beach hideaway in Loreto and 3 nights in Mexico City, staying at the capital’s hip W hotel. Visit the region from January to March and go whale watching off the Pacific coast, to see the migrating grey whales nurture their young in the shallow lagoons.

* Price: 9 nights in Mexico from £2329 per person including all flights.
