Playa Requeson and Playa Coyote
Friday april 24
After having a good breakfast we went directly to the beaches we have seen coming over the days before. We wanted to stop to Playa Requeson that look
so nice from the road but really just a simple beach. We stood there until 1 o'clock after went back on the road where we saw a place called Bertha's.
The beach, don't remember its name, where we ate at lunch to Bertha's.
Playa Requeson from the road.
Capanas on Playa Requeson where we just park up our Jeep. Fantastic.
Me on the beach of Playa Requeson.
Bertha's place, where we ated soom fabulous shrimps on tacos, was a pitty that they finished the lime for magaritas. :-)
Here's Playa Coyote, we liked it better than Requeson.
Playa Coyote. On this beach we met 4 guy from Oregon, it was their 3rd week there on the beach. They had almost everything, a big RAM 2500, a tent for
ten persons, a boat with motor, 3 motor KTM, and a lot of equipments for fishing going watersking, they loved it there. Talked with them for about 15
min. and thought that next time I'm coming with my sons and riding some motorcycles.
We left around 5 o'clock got back to Mulegè went walking in town buying souvenirs and went to see the nice cemetery.
At dinner we went back to el Patron and ate other good seafood dishes.
Went to bed early that night cause tomorrow morning had to wake up early we wanted to drive straight to Todos Santos and to Hotel California.

More good stuff... Interesting how empty the beaches were... thanks!
Requeson is our special place... there always seems to be a palapa available there when Coyote or other beaches are crowded.

Todos Santos
We left Mulegè very early that mornig knowing that we had a long ride down to Todos Santos. We parted at 6.30 and the sun was already up. We saw a
beautiful sun rise on the Conception bay.
After a couple of hours we stop for eating some cakes and having warm coffee.
Here's nice cactus where we stop having breakfast.
With out stopping any more, only for some gas we arrived at Todos Santos at 1,30 and got a room in the legendary Hotel California.
It was the most expensive room we had in all our trip, but it was nice.
After we took a walk trough the streets of Todos Santos, it was a pitty because it was Sunday and almost evrything was closed.
So we decided to take a look at the beach. I haven't ever been to the Pacific Ocean and it was awesome looking at the long beach with not so many
people, big waves and lots of birds.
We then went back in our room, relaxed for a couple of hours and went to eat in the only restaurant open that night.
When we got back to the hotel we sat at the bar and drank a Tequila Sunrise and talk to the bartender that he talk about all the soccer teams in
mexico and knew allot of the Europeans teams.
Went to bed and decided to leave Todos Santos next morning trying to see Cabos San Lucas and San Josè del Cabos all in one day.
The long road trowards Cabos San Lucas.

Beautiful trip report! It`s so refreshing to see Baja thru the eyes of people who travel there for the first time. They are totally blown away, where
us old vets just tend to drive to our destinations (speaking for myself here).
Thanks for the report , the pictures, and putting some "stoke" back into a Baja road trip!

Cabos San Lucas and San Josè del Cabos
We arrived, after a little more than an hour of really straight rode, to Cabos San Lucas. We didn't want to spend all the day here even because we
have the same things here in Italy like Rimini and Riccione. So we decided to go for a boat tour to see the beaches and the extremely end point of
Baja.
Playa del Amor
The Scuby Doo Rock.
The upside down Baja California Rock.
Stefi and Anna and EL Arco.
We left Cabos San Lucas going directly to San Josè del Cabos.
Leaving the Hotels area, the center of San Josè is very pretty. A very small mexican town. We stop having lunch at Salitas Cocina y Cantina. We took a
walk in the town, visiting the lovely Church in front of the plaza.
The Plaza with its giant mexican flag.
We decided not to stop in San Josè for the night because we wanted to see other towns and beaches on the road and to get back in the evening in La
Paz.
It was a must taking this photo.
We stop even in the smallest town we seen, Santiago.
Many people told us that the most beautiful beaches in Baja are at Cabo Pulmo.
Here's the dirt road that brings to Cabo Pulmo.
It was late so went took the road back to La Paz was a very pleasure road site, into the hills passing trough towns like San Antonio and El Triunfo.
We got back in La paz just in time to drink a cold fruit mix and watching the sunset on the Malecon.

Pal... a SUPER photo trip report!
Thank you very much for joining Baja Nomad and sharing the trip with us.
This photo (Tropic of Cancer), would be very interesting if taken one month from today (June 21) which is the first day of summer...
Why? Because the sun (at noon) would be directly over your head (straight up) on that day... The only shadow would be between your feet if you were
standing!
I hope to visit your Republic of San Marino someday, soon!
Stay in touch paisano/ amigo!

Relaxing on Playa Tecolote and Balandra
The day after we wanted only to relax on the beaches of La Paz.
In the morning went directly to Playa Tecolote, just relaxing and taking some photos.
This is the view of Isla Espiritu Santos from Playa Tecolote.
Here are fishermen near the beach.
After having a great lunch, always at Ramon's where we ate good shrimp tacos. We went to playa Balandra. That day there were lots of people but
fortunately we found a palapas and layed on the sand amazing the beautiful scenery.
Found some mexican boys in the water on their knees with thier hands in the sand looking like finding something. So they showed me how to catch
almeida. Got on my knees too and pickup several clams that we ate getting back at our rooms in La Paz.
In the evening we tried out a Italian restaurant where we ate Paella and some fried fish and drank sangria.
This is the Italian restaurant La Tasca.
Our table.
Bye Pal57

The second last day we spent on La Paz was to see the beautiful beaches of Punta Arena and Playa de los Suenos (Bay of Dreams) before it was called
Playa del los Muertos.
We didn't have the map for the treasure but we had a wonderful day and the beach was beautiful.
The beach of Punta Arena.
The lighthouse of Punta Arena
We stood there only for a few minutes and ask where was the other beach called Playa de los Suenos and if there was a place to eat.
The bay of Playa de los Suenos, Bay of Dreams.
My friend Paolo and I along the beach.
Someone told us that many crusades buried their treasures at Playa de los Suenos after robing them from the Spanish galleons.
Stefy near the fishermen boats on Playa de los Suenos
Fishermen with tuna yellow tail.
The road towards home.
We had just a wonderful day.
