Ensenada, Baja California

According to John Vogel of BajaWine.info, "In Ensenada, you have everything that a major city could have but it's still a small family town" The weather is very temperate between 60 to 80 F mostly all year round. It's never too hot or too cold in Ensenada as it's on the Pacific coast in a bay so it's somewhat shielded by direct ocean winds. For expats, it's an easy transition because Ensenada is really half Southern California half Mexico. Most speak English as the border is just 1 hour away. So travel back and forth is relatively easy. It's a great benefit for those who want to live in Mexico lifestyle but still get the San Diego Chargers game every NFL Sunday for a little tailgating.

 

Pros

  • Close to US Border
  • Easy going beach weather
  • Inexpensive
  • Very little rain fall
  • Family friendly city
  • All kinds of events held almost every weekend

 

Cons

  • Airport is in Tijuana about 1 hour away and San Diego International Airport is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away by car albeit, there is a border crossing that could take from 1 to 3 hours depending on time of day.
  • Anti-septic Mexican culture meaning that the culture in Baja is more close to the USA culture as it's a mixed culture. If you're looking for an authentic rustic old Mexico, Ensenada is NOT the place to be. This is San Diego South and the people of Baja are a hybrid of Mexico and USA.
  • You must have a car to get around.

 

Ensenada is known as the Mexican capital of wine, since ninety percent of the country's wine is produced in the large municipality that surrounds it. The city is located approximately 80 km from the US-Mexico border, facing the Pacific Ocean.

 

It is also known as the city of knowledge for being the spearhead of scientific research, as well as a port of commercial height and of cruises.

 

It is a tourist center and a weekend retreat for millions of visitors a year. It has two national parks located southeast of the municipality, the Constitution National Park of 1857 (Sierra de Juárez) and San Pedro Mártir, where the National Astronomical Observatory is located. Ensenada is the spearhead of scientific research, both basic and applied, and has been declared by the local municipality as the City of Knowledge.
