Gotta agree with Alm here, Loreto is in Mexico with real Mexicans but all in all it is Gringolandia.

What is your definition of “authentic?” Do you mean “old-timey?”
I guess any city in Mexico is authentically mexican, as it is in Mexico, eh? Mexico is pretty varied, so not not sure there is an “authentic”
archetype.
Woke!

Not really. But, for a first-time Baja tourist one catholic church, a dozen facades imitating a traditional style and a walkable downtown might just
do the trick. Closer than Cabo, too.

I meant as authentic, small towns and people that still carry different flavor of life from past that we no longer see in general due to fast running
modern world. Its a generic term. All good.

Mulege
Mulege has probably changed the least of all the communities that I have visited over the years. It lacks some of the amenities of the beach resorts,
but the plaza in the center of town in the evenings is as close to "Old Mexico" as you will get in Baja!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I see different definitions of authentic here. Gringolandia, to me, doesn't mean less authentic. When the gringos clear out of Loreto, does that
make it more authentic? Guess it does to some.
Baja is authentic because it's Mexico.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
