Well, it is not cast in stone, but I like visiting these as well as other mission towns...
San Ignacio
Loreto
Mulegé
La Paz
El Rosario
Not a town, but Alfonsina's is a popular stop at meal time.

I like the answer from Dennis the most. Reason why?
Such a list is ridiculous! The one who likes a big City, lets say Los Cabos(either one) and its nightlife and exiting possibilities of shopping, will
not like the tranquility life in Mulege of San Juanico or, or....
That is comparing apples to pears.
That`s why I am voting for Corona. Tecate. Dos XX. Don Julio. Mescal.
In no particular order.

GNegro has the whales, perhaps this is the reasoning.
El Rosario is Baja history.
My list: La Bocana, La Paz when it is not summer, Los Barriles, Loreto and Bahia Asuncion.
Hard to limit to 5 since I love san Ignacio/Todos Santos as well.

Ensenada
San Ignacio
La Paz
Tijuana
Catavina
San Diego
La Mesa

I would just shuffle Blanca's list, with Los Barriles at the top. I am a small town type of guy, and it is as close as I need to be to an airport or
city amenities.
Disclaimer; I have never been there in the summer.

50% of our time at a place is spent on the water or riding dirt roads, so that impacts my picks. San Carlos on the mainland is tops on the Sea of
Cortez by a very wide margin.
Other than that I'll go:
Bay of LA
Loreto
La Paz
Santa Rosalia
Ensenada

JZ, i'm with you about 'being out of towns' more than in. Not being a lover of Big City crunch, and living in small communities since 1995, all of
the aboves mentioned over 'town' size are nixed.
Mainland, I prefer Kino Viejo over San Carlos 10x1 due to the gringo-friendly aspect of SC and Kino Nuevo....
Baja is definitely Mulege,
Loreto (and nothing south of)
Santa Rosalia (for REAL Mexican commerce and non-turista trappings)
San Ignacio
...... did I mention Mulege?
oh, and Bahia LA just for the views and geologic splendor, not to mention the fishing.
Then there are a half-dozen or so little burgs along the way that just 'feel right'..... and some don't. I miss 'em all.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
