all la paz is is another great big city.....for the true baja experience, we suggest mulege bar none!....there are houses here in town that rent by
the month for $250-$300...that is affordable....and the community here is wonderful!

After spending a few days in La Paz, last month, I'm for La Paz area. Fairly inexpensive on food, housing and transportation.
The malecon area IS gorgeous, but a little pricey.

Yes, that is easily obtainable, we have a house here for $250 a month with fabulous ocean view and internet! Food is cheap and if you are in a smaller
village, there is less to spend your money on...we have a guy here who lives on $500 a month no sweat! (obviously he doesnt drink Tecate though!)

We have to second Shari's post. Asuncion is where we would stay. This town has everything we required and is very inexpensive. The people are
great every body talked to us, sure didn't feel like a stranger. We spent about 7 days there and then returned twice more for a few days each time.
Even had a local fellow stop at our camper one day and ask if I would like to go surf fishing, we had a great morning 5 Crockers each. It's just
that kind of town. We will return as many times as we can and for much longer next time. Thanks Shari, Cheers, Anne & Mike

Did you happen to ask these people how much they drink? Budget sounds super doable to me, if they can limit Tecate intake to six or less daily.
Granted, that's basically impossible, but I have heard tell of a few people who manage to do it.

If you don't have a car and aren't looking to spend every day for a couple of months fishing what will you do all the time camped in the desert or on
a beach?

Hands down La Paz... City with small town atmosphere. Mexican culture, art & entertainment, opportunity to speak another language and be
appreciated for trying, not being hounded by trinket and timeshare salesmen at every step, awesome restaurant choices, even on a tight budget, cheap
taxis available everywhere, incredible beaches, awesome day trips ( Todos Santos, Lopez Mateos, San Antonio..etc...) fishing, swimming, snorkeling,
kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, whale sharks, whales, and on and on and on....

For the months of March and April, I wouldnt want to be on the Pacific side. Too cold and windy. Of course they are Brits. ANY weather is better than
the UK, no? 
La Paz seems like a good choice. Rent a house, use the bus system, buy barbacoa, tinga poblana, pollo entero rostizado and tortillas, etc., by the
kilo at the supers. Easily doable on their budget, assuming their alcohol consumption isnt great.
Especially beer. I'm slowing being forced into drinking beer from cans as the price of a case of Pacifico Lights with returnable bottles is now up to
202 pesos over here. It's increased 20% in less than 4 years. From the Expendio.
Cans from the supers always seem to be on sale.

If they just want to kick back and soak in the small village atmosphere Naranja just outside Mulege is cheap, $20 a day for a canbana right on the
water in the Bay of Conception with cooking facilities and bathroom. It's about 6-7 miles outside mulege so not too far back to town. Buy most of your
meals and cook them yourself you will have plenty of money left every day.

Asuncion is another great choice for a village experience. When we camped out at Shari's Campo Sirena it was VERY affordable, everything is in walking
distance, there is tons of exploring to do and Juan and Shari are great hosts.

Combine camping and cheap hotels/palapas you should be comfortable. Get a cheap one burner stove and a few pans. A soft cooler is good also. Go
shopping and camp for a week-you spend zero. Southern mex is much cheaper though.

Just curious; as a fellow oil changer, what do you do with your used oil?
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.
