Todos Santos = All Saints

A perfect way for me to celebrate Cinco De Mayo is to share my latest adventure with you. I went down south for a friend’s birthday who is an avid surfer. We stayed close to the sleepy town of Todos Santos on Cerritos Beach, where the surfers could meet the sea at dawn as I did some Local Rose investigating. I had been to Todos Santos a few other times, and though it might not be as flashy as say Cabo San Lucas, or as lush as Tulum, Todos Santos has it’s own quiet bohemian charm. The most memorable day was when we drove out of Todos and followed a dusty, dirt road that led from the highway to a tropical oasis surrounded by trees. From the oasis the road led straight to an almost deserted beach that was simply untouched and beautiful. It is pretty extraordinary to have a a green jewel in the middle of an arid, dry desert.
