| On Mexican Time Join novelist Tony Cohan and his wife as they leave their high-profile lives of L.A. on what began as a brief vacation to San Miguel de Allende. They fell in love with the place, left their hotel room, rented a cottage, and eventually bought a 250-year-old hacienda which was quite a bit more than just your average "fixer uper." |

| Hidden Baja - Experienced and well-respected travel writer Richard Harris balances coverage of Baja's growing travel facilities - including the new mega-resorts, villas and beachside restaurants around Los Cabos - with extensive details on the peninsula's many natural attractions, adventure activities and sleepy coastal towns. Truly two guides in one, Hidden Baja serves as both a travel guide and an outdoor handbook for those looking to experience Baja by foot, bike, kayak, surfboard, or scuba. The book covers the entire peninsula from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas, including every great spot along Route 1 and its side roads. It leads the way to over 50 beaches including 38 that offer camping, and reveals Baja's history and culture at numerous sites including 8 museums. This edition has greatly expanded outdoor activity sections including more hiking, biking, scuba diving, and sea kayaking listings. |

| Lonely Planet Baja California - Lonely Planet's Baja book is an excellent guide to the peninsula. I especially appreciated the detailed info on how to get around in Baja. The section on health in the front of the book came in handy after a small altercation with a manta ray! It was excellent for travelers on a budget. The descriptions of cities, places to stay and restaurants were all very accurate, but left enough room for our personal tastes to guide us to the spots that seemed especially fitting. I felt as though once we arrived at our final destination there was a lot more there than was really covered in the book, but I guess they only have so many pages to work with! This was the only book we brought with us, and it made for a great trip! |
