This morning, we had one last breakfast in Cabo and headed north to the historic/arts community of Todos Santos. Both of us had been here before and we were eager to make this part of our trip.

Unlike Cabo, which we felt was overrun by noisy tourists, we found Todos Santos delightful and fun. They, of course, have their tourist-oriented markets and restaurants, but the feel was much more relaxed.

We walked around the historic central district for a while. A few views along the way:

A weathered brick building facade with an old black wooden door topped by an arched brick lintel, protected by a decorative wrought iron grille, and a barred window covered by an ornate iron grate to the right. A white electric meter box hangs on the wall to the left, and a pale blue-painted concrete step and floor lie in front, dappled with tree shadow under bright midday sun.

The white facade of the Teatro-Cine Gral. Manuel Marquez de Leon in Todos Santos, with red lettering and the date 1944, under a clear blue sky. A large arched brown wooden doorway is flanked by two hanging Mexican flags, with a wrought-iron lantern above and string lights across the front, and a dark car parked at the lower right.

A weathered, rustic wooden sign with cracked and peeling white paint mounted on a red brick wall with sandy mortar, its faded lettering hard to read. A polished wooden handle or stick juts in from the upper right corner.

A two-story red brick building with tall arched windows and a rooftop terrace stands along a stone-paved street under a bright blue sky. White patio umbrellas, small tables, and a black metal bench sit outside the ground-floor entrances, with palms and other plants and hanging signage nearby.

A weathered square white speed limit sign reading “15 km/h” with a faded red circle and red spray-painted graffiti scrawled across its lower portion, mounted on a metal post against a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds.

We stopped in for lunch at a cute wine bar and coffee shop.

A chalkboard A-frame sidewalk sign reading “Wine, Cocktails, Coffee, and Sunday Brunch” for La Confianza Patio Vino and Snack, set on a tiled sidewalk beside a red brick building with a wall plaque, potted plants, and a graffiti-marked 15 km/h speed limit sign under a bright blue sky.
