Making Memories

It's the holiday season upon us. Christmas is passing and the New Year's is almost upon us. What to expect for New Years Eve in Mexico? One thing you can definitely count on for your New Year's celebration is warm weather. Doesn't warm, balmy night sound so inviting? It's party time in Mexico!
San Felipe Baja is no different. Small private parties will be on the beach, bars will have live music and celebrations. Or why don't you make your own party?
Vacation rentals are the best, because you can easily have a party. Forget about the big resorts or small hotel rooms, make some memories in your vacation rental. You don't have to just celebrate with your family or partner, meet new friends or invite the whole neighborhood block. Another great thing about a vacation rental is you can be as load as you want. Crank up the music, fly open those windows and party down for the night! If you are near the shore, see if it's safe and of course allowed, light some fireworks and light up the sky. Happy New Year, San Felipe!

Glorious Food

San Felipe Baja has so many delicious restaurants. They are famous for their jumbo blue shrimp. They are so famous for the shrimp that they have an annual festival dedicated to the shrimp. Here are some of the delectable cuisines in town.

These are the top restaurants with the most reviews. Good foods and great prices.

Driving vs. Flying

Usually when you vacation, road trip is not really appealing especially if you have kids. But in this case driving to San Felipe could be way more convenient, that is if you live in a nearby state. Other than crossing the Mexican border, as that could be tedious and long, it then could be a breeze once crossed. Wouldn't it be nice to have your car on vacation instead a rental? Yes, San Felipe is not a big city to need a car, but there are some excursions that you would need a car to participant in. Like riding the sand buggies in the dunes or horseback riding. Or maybe while vacationing in San Felipe you might visit the hot water springs or take a dip at other beaches from afar.

vs.

Flying to San Felipe could be a hassle. First you need to get a ride to the airport from your hometown then once you arrive in Baja Mexico you have to either rent a car in a foreign terrrtory or find a shuttle. Or maybe you reserved a shuttle before leaving. Don't forget you have to tip the driver, and they see you as a rich American or foreigner, so they expect a high tip. Once you arrive in San Felipe how do you plan to get around? There are so many factors to consider if flying into Mexico. So, you might reorganize your thoughts and take a road trip instead to San Felipe.

Every country and town have their own history and legends. San Felipe has deep legends because the Mexican heritage. Legends usually come from some heard something or someone a long time ago told the story about something or some place. Legends are made from history. Sometimes legends are inscribed in books, stories from the local people or found on cave walls.
San Felipe's legends exist, like the Giant Cardon. The Giant Cardon is a cactus that is growing in San Felipe desert. This cactus has been there in the desert for hundreds of years. Why is it so special? Baja wanted the giant cactus to be in the World Fair to be admired for it's height and greatness as a natural plant. The giant cactus grew so big that when they wanted to move it to bring to the World Fair it was impossible at first. The giant cactus stood 45 feet tall. They tried to immobilize it with a heavy duty crane but nothing would move that plant. They were out of luck. The world fair in Spain finally received the famous giant cactus, but San Felipe will never forget how long it took to up-root it and send it across the seas. It did eventually returned, never looking the same.

Whale Watching

Probably every person that has the opportunity to go whale watching in San Felipe has many and different stories of their great adventure. Their's a great little company that takes you out on the water to watch the whales play in the great, big body of water we call the ocean. This little tour boat is called a panga. You actually get trained to go out on the water by yourself if you are trained biologists. Otherwise someone takes you out that is experienced in large bodies of water where big gray whales spy hop. Spy-hopping is when the whale peeks its head out on the surface of the water, like they are saying hello.

Whale watching is very serine. Whales are very gentle and smart mammals. It's a very exciting moment when these big creatures swim so close to the pangas (boats), it's hard to stay calm. To go whale watching in San Felipe it's around $45 per person, but the expense is worth every minute at gazing upon these magnificent mammals. You have a chance to whale watch, do it, it's definitely worth it!

Small Town Vibe

In the past San Felipe was once known as a fisherman village; it's now a hot spot but still has the small town vibe. Once Los Cabos Baja became over loaded with people and too expensive, San Felipe became the new hot spot of Baja Mexico. San Felipe is everything a small town represents. The community works together, has small local events, and neighbors know each other.

Walking is the only way to travel when going shopping or popping into the library or market. Bikes are great too, biking around town. Small towns are great for not wasting gas and living the simple life. The great thing about San Felipe is you have the small town feeling but still have many events and activities to enjoy. Plus San Felipe has many bonuses offering the desert, mountains and ocean. Now that is paradise!

Discos in San Felipe

San Felipe is a quiet little fisherman town but when the weekends come around this quiet little town becomes a big party. All the dance clubs and bars come alive, thousands of people are doing the disco. The night clubs don't offer food, drink and dancing but volleyball and laser light shows. It's definitely not boring in San Felipe on the weekends.
Here are some of the big night clubs, that you are sure to have a blast: Barefoot Bar, BeachComber, Miramar Cantina, and Rockodile Bar & Nightclub.

If you want to dance the night away, Rockodile is the place to be.

Vacation Alone

Probably men go on vacations alone more than women. However, women can have as much fun if not a better time than men. The hotel staff would probably open the doors for a single woman or she would probably get a lot more attention from the staff, make sure she was taken care of.
If vacationing alone, get to know the locals wherever you are visiting. Getting to know the locals, your vacation will become a lot more fascinating. You will learn about the great eateries or maybe a new dance club. Locals always know the great little spots to go.
Vacationing alone, can be as fun and exciting as if you were vacationing with friends or your partner. You can meet new friends, relax, hang out at the beach, swim in the crystal blue ocean, or go horseback riding. Maybe even find another companion that is alone on vacation and hang out together. Anything can happen when you are vacationing alone; take it with stride.

Awaited 2012 Christmas Parade

Christmas is just around the corner and San Felipe goes all out for Christmas. If you did not already know, most Mexicans are Christians or Catholics. So, Christmas is very important to them. Like most of North America, Christmas is a celebration of religion and family. San Felipe has a very nice tradition, a Christmas parade. The annual Christmas parade is very eventful with all kinds of colorful costumes, and twinkling Christmas lights.
The parade starts with sirens from the police cars and fire trucks to let the crown forming the parade is about to begin.  The Christmas parade always has a few surprises that were not presented the years before. Everyone that is involved with organizing the parade have to be secretive, if they do not hold their tongues they are put to death. No not really but the Christmas parade is top secret. The date of the Christmas parade is not even told. Of course it falls around the same time each year but the mysterious date is not revealed until the night of when the sirens go off.
The Christmas parade is beloved by the locals, if they could play music and dance everyday they would have a daily parade. The tourist of course enjoy the whole scene and sing along happily to the Spanish and English Christmas hymns. The 2012 Christmas parade is long awaited by both the locals, all the people that are participating and the tourists.

A Day of Art

San Felipe has some amazing and local artists. Annually San Felipe shows off their local art. It's usually held over a weekend. You can roam through the maze of paintings, drawings, pottery, photography, watercolors, and glass creations. The weather is not always predictable, so if there is rain the art show would be postpone for the following weekend. It's best to see artwork in the sunlight, it brings out the brilliant colors and the images jump out. 

The art show is usually held by the busy highway, to attract more people. Every year seems to bring more artists to surface and show and sell their incredible work. If you are in San Felipe and it's the right time for the local art show, adventure out, you will not be disappointed. If you don't like art so much, there is yummy cuisine and drink available. Live music like a local band or radio station. It's a day of art and fun!

Desert Racing

Have you ever gone to desert race? It can be very exciting. There are dirt bikes everywhere, dust and lots of people. This is not just a man sport, there are plenty of girl dirt bike racers, too. The terrain is very rough and the racers have to be smart in how they maneuver around. Two racers cannot race side by side because the dust will force one of the riders to separate. Basically each rider is on their own in the race, yes they are racing against one another but one rider can go for miles without seeing another rider for long periods of time. It's just the rider and the terrain in front of them. A rider can be riding behind another and suddenly break away because they found a better way to get around their competitor.

The older the age group the harder the terrain. These desert racers have to be very knowledgeable of the hundred acres of Mojave Desert if they want to win. The terrains become more difficult for the older groups to ride: there are drops, steep hills or bumpy trials. Not only do the older rides need to know the desert terrain like the back of their hand but they also need to know how to ride in any kind of weather. When it rains the desert becomes like mud, but the race must go on. This is a very exciting and entertaining event for everyone in San Felipe to enjoy.

Hot Springs in San Felipe

Hot Strings in San Felipe is a great activity in the late fall. Sometimes it can get cooler in the evening in San Felipe; going to the hot springs warms you right up. The hot springs are heated tide pools. It’s literally like sitting in a hot tub except it’s completely natural. Getting to the hot springs is quite a trek, but definitely worth it. Hot springs can be a healing to the body and soul. Puertecitos hot springs cost a dollar to go into the springs but hey, that’s a great price.

There are three different tide pools, one was very hot, one was medium temperature like a hot tub with jets on and the last one was just the right warmth. There are many more pools but the three are the most popular with the tourists. The hot springs is a comfortable amount of people not too busy, but enough people to make it entertaining.  When visiting San Felipe definitely don’t miss the Puertecitos hot springs.

Paella Festival

Last February it was the 10th Annual San Felipe Paella Festival. The Paella festival is awaited all year to eat all the delicious cuisine. It’s crowded with tourists and locals every year. Music (the mariachi) and dancing in the beautiful sunny weather, fills every moment of the festival. Each year the Paella Festival gets bigger and busier. It is usually held at the Hotel of Cortez and on the beach. The festival is inexpensive, $10 dollars for three dishes of “yummy” cuisine. There are lots of seafood dishes, mixed with paella rice. Most festival goers leave with full stomachs but satisfied smiles across their faces. This is well enjoyed weekend full of friends, wine, lots of food, music, and dancing.

Have you ever wished you could fly? How about flying over paradise? Well, you can! In San Felipe Baja you can have the experience of a lifetime. It’s called Ultra-lights flight. Ultra-lights feels like you are floating above the world. An ultra-light is a two-part airplane kit. It’s like sitting on a motorcycle but flying in the air.

What Documents to Have when Renting Temporary Home?

The first thing you need to do once you decide on a vacation rental in San Felipe Mexico is a Mexico vacation rental agreement. This is probably the most important document you will need in Mexico, other than your passport or ID. This agreement goes over the specifics of renting temporary homes on foreign land. If you are using a realtor to help you find a vacation home than they will provide this agreement. It’s very important that you know about this agreement and probably good to go through a license realtor. The shady, not licensed realtors may not know or care to give you this information, and later you may get in trouble with the Mexican law. You don’t want any headaches on your vacation, so be smart and always ask questions whenever renting. Ask and you shall receive.

The agreement is basically another type of contract but easier to understand and all they need is a simple “yes” or “no”. Not like a legal rental contract, where it has all the details about the rental and clauses. Basically the agreement is saying the landlord or property management can cancel the reservation at any time before the transaction and that you may lose your deposit. Again like any agreement, read and ask before signing anything.

Searching for a Relaxing Vacation Rental

San Felipe has awesome vacation rentals. There are many rentals on the coast, where it can be very relaxing hearing the waves, sitting on the beach and barbequing on the deck.  There are many ways to find your perfect relaxing vacation home. You can surf the Internet and view all the offered vacation rentals in San Felipe. Shopping online for your vacation rental can be rewarding because most vacation rental and real estate websites give deals. They want to rent their places during all seasons not just peak times.

Or you can shop in person if you are planning a longer vacation. Most people do the checking and deciding on online and via phone. Why don’t you check out the rentals in person? If you are planning a longer vacation, viewing the rentals in person can be very satisfying. Lots of real estate agencies are willing to work with you to find the perfect, most relaxing vacation home. San Felipe is a sweet, fishing town that has many resorts, hotels and Bed & Breakfast Inns you may stay while searching for your vacation rental. Good Luck!
