Mexico Living (new magazine)
While this is clearly real estate driven with a lot of fluff, there is some excellent information in this new publication. It covers Rosarito,
Ensenada, San Felipe and Punta Penasco. There are maps of each area in each edition, a yellow pages directory, and some great tips for rookie and
veteran visitors (and full-timers) alike. You can read the whole thing on-line.

When you bring up that link, use the menu at the top to put it in full screen.

Interesting, on page 7 it states that you need a temporary import permit for your vehicle below Ensenada/San Felipe.
It's always been my understanding that such a permit is not required for all of Baja...
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

There is no permit required in Baja. Only if you cross over to the mainland do you need this permit.
However, what do I know?

A case of a writer talking about doing something he never did? 
The peninsula is a special region of Mexico that does not need a car permit.

I find it sad that it is 'real estate driven' ... What about Baja?

That's an understatement.  
Nonetheless, they have a nice online edition. Thanks.

Sheesh. I looked at it. It's a magazine for Americans living in Baja that shows them how to avoid doing any business with Mexicans and just patronize
other American expats.

Sounds like it deserves a big Nomad thumbs down!

I'd suggest you contact the publishers. They are very open to comments!
